The world lost the King of Pop with the death of Michael Jackson (MJ). The seventh child of the Jackson family made his debut to the professional music scene at the age of 11 as a member of The Jackson 5 in 1969. They came to the eyes of the world by the song "I Want You Back" & "ABC" and my personal favorite I'll Be There.
I Want You Back" & "ABC
I'll Be There

He then began a solo career in 1971 while still a member of the Jackson 5. I am very sure most of them who was born in the 70's and 80's will never forget most of his memorable hits. One of my personal favorite music was "Will You Be There". I love the background music of this song.
"You Are Not Alone", released in August 1995, is the second single from Michael Jackson's album HIStory. The R&B ballad was officially written by R. Kelly in response to difficult times in his personal life. He then forwarded a bare demo tape to Jackson, who liked the song and decided to co-produce it with Kelly.
MJ has also integrated Bharatanatyam a tamil dance into one of his songs.

The dance move gained widespread popularity after being performed by Michael Jackson on the 1983 television special Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever, and was considered his signature move.
One group who brought back the fame of MJ last year was the group Signature who was the 1st Runner's up in the British Got Tallent in 2008. This was their 1st round performance.
