Smile By Michael Jackson
Michael Joseph Jackson
Aug, 29, 1958 -- June, 25, 2009
Michael Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana, His father, Joe Jackson, had
been a guitarist but was forced to give up his musical ambitions following
his marriage to Katherine. Together they prodded their growing family's
musical interests at home. By the early 1960s, the older boys Jackie,
Tito and Jermaine had begun performing around the city; by 1964, Michael
and Marlon had joined in.
Michael has entertained audiences nearly his entire life Michael's singing
and dancing talents were amazingly mature, and he soon became the dominant
voice and focus of The Jackson 5. An opening act for such soul groups as the
O - Jays and James Brown, it was Gladys Knight not Diana Ross who officially
brought the group to Berry Gordon's attention, and by 1969, the boys were
producing back-to-back chart-busting hits as Motown artists
("I Want You Back," "ABC, Never Can Say Good-bye, Got to Be There," etc.).
Solo success for Michael was inevitable, and by the 1980s, he had become
infinitely more popular than his brotherly group. Record sales consistently
orbited, culminating in the biggest-selling album of all time, "Thriller"
in 1982. A TV natural, he ventured rather uneasily into films, such as
playing the Scarecrow in The Wiz (1978), but had much better luck with
elaborate music videos.
In the 1990s, the downside as an 1980s pop phenomenon began to rear itself.
Michael grew terribly childlike and introverted by his peerless celebrity.
A rather timorous, androgynous figure to begin with, his physical appearance
began to change drastically, and his behavior grew alarmingly bizarre, making
him a consistent target for scandal-making, despite his numerous charitable
acts. Two brief marriages one to Elvis Presley daughter Lisa Marie Presley were
forged and two children produced by his second wife during that time, but the
purposes behind them appeared image-oriented. Despite it all, Michael Jackson's
passion and artistry as a singer, dancer, writer and businessman are unparalleled,
and it is these prodigious talents that will ultimately prevail over the extremely
negative aspects of his seriously troubled adult life.
sadly Michael pass away sudden at the age of 50 due to drug-induced cardiac
arrest on June 25, 2009 & nbsp; just as he was coming out of a four-year reclusive
period and rehearsing for a sold out London concert "This Is It" in July,
seems uncommonly cruel and tragic.
Millions upon millions of dedicated fans will remember the day Michael died.
Rest In Peace Michael
"Smile" is a song based on an instrumental theme used in the soundtrack for the
1936 Charlie Chaplin movie Modern Times. Chaplin composed the music, while John
Turner and Geoffrey Parsons added the lyrics and title in 1954. In the lyrics,
the singer is telling the listener to cheer up and that there is always a bright
tomorrow, just as long as they smile. "Smile" has become a popular standard since
its original use in Chaplin's film.
