Michael Jackson Retrospective
Posted on Jun 30, 2009 @ 01:03PM - 1 comment
RadarOnline.com takes a look back at the King of Pop’s illustrious career highlights.
When Michael was just 11 years old, The Jackson 5 released their first single, “I Want You Back,” and fans were instantly captivated by the young lead singer’s dynamic stage presence and James Brown-inspired moves. The American public hadn’t been so fascinated by a child star since Shirley Temple, and Michael led the Jackson 5 to become the first group in pop history to see their first four singles top the charts.
Soon Motown began grooming their star on the rise for a solo career. Sure enough, Michael’s first three singles were all in the Top 5, with his first solo Number 1 single being the title song from the film Ben, a children’s movie about a rat, which also earned an Oscar nomination.
It was his role as the Scarecrow – to Diana Ross’s Dorothy – in the somewhat unmemorable film The Wiz in 1977 where Michael met Quincy Jones, who produced his first adult solo effort, Off the Wall. The disco-pop album had four Number 1 hits and went multi-platinum, all while Michael was still the star of the Jackson 5.

Despite professional projects slipping away left and right, Amy Winehouse seems to be forging ahead with her music.
The embattled singer was spotted in her perpetual vacation locale St. Lucia, strolling the beach with guitar on Friday.
While her freestyle acoustic might bring joy, it's certainly not the epic collaboration she was to do for legendary artist Quincy Jones. Super-producer Mark Ronson has been putting together A-list artists for an album of Quincy classics, and specifically asked Winehouse be included.
