Happy birthday Michael Jackson: Here’s what makes him the King of Pop

Happy birthday Michael Jackson

There are rockstars. There are popstars. And, then there is Michael Jackson. The King of Pop, possessed the power of ‘healing the world and making it a better place for the entire human race’, with his songs. We didn’t even want to imagine a world where there was no existence of MJ. Our days began with his songs. Our nights ended with us secretly practicing Moonwalk, in front of the mirror hoping no one else gets to see our Michael-in-the-making avatar.

Michael Jackson had nearly 40 Billboard awards, 13 Grammys, 23 Guinness World Records and 26 American Music Awards. With this bombastic record, the singer till date remains the most awarded artist of all times.

Gliding across the stage in his trademark Moonwalk style, Michael Jackson danced in a manner that convinced us that his body was boneless. Towards the end of his career, his eccentricities got the better of him.
