Happy Birthday Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson should have been celebrating his 51st birthday tomorrow, Saturday 29th August, but instead he sadly passed away on the 25th June. But according to sfgate.com, it isn’t stopping his fans from still celebrating.


And the city of Brooklyn is holding a birthday party, as a celebration of Michael Jackson’s life. The free party will be held in the Nethermead meadow at Prospect Park on Saturday afternoon and will take place even if it rains.

It has been organized by director Spike Lee, who once worked with Michael Jackson. And apparently, the public celebration had to be moved, because of the expected crowds, which jumped from the estimated 2,000 to 10,000.

Rev. Al Sharpton will apparently deliver a prayer at the party, whil President Marty Markowitz will present a proclamation declaring August 29th as Michael Jackson Day in Brooklyn. Then DJ Spinna will play all Michael Jackson hits.


Michael Jackson History

Michael Jackson's Life

Michael Joseph Jackson started a solo career in 1971, having made his debut in 1964 as a member of The Jackson 5. His 1982 album Thriller remains the best-selling album of all time, with four others — Off the Wall (1979), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991), and HIStory (1995) — among the best selling. He popularized several intricate dance moves, such as the robot and the moonwalk. He is widely credited with having transformed the music video from a promotional tool into an art form, with videos for his songs “Billie Jean”, “Beat It” and “Thriller” making him the first African American artist to amass a strong crossover following on MTV, and has influenced scores of music artists.
