Born on August 29, 1958, Michael Jackson aka actually holds the record of being the most successful entertainer of all time given by the Guinness Book of World Records. Probably, he was more successful than Beatles or Elvis or any other stalwart in forming the basic idea of popular culture.
Though his personal life always invited controversies but he never compromised on his music. He remained the opinion leader till his death that still is seen with many doubts.
