SMOOTH CRIMINAL 1987 The song is best remembered for Jackson ’ s anti-gravity lean in the video . In 2001 , Alien Ant Farm released the song as their debut single from ANThology , complete with anti-gravity leans in their video . While Jackson ’ s version charted a # 7 on Billboard ’ s Hot 100 , the later version hit the top spot on Billboard ’ s Modern Rock Tracks
1968 , As a child Michael had been beaten by his father , Joe , for the slightest infractions . Joe used everything from belts to wire hangers , rulers , and razor straps also calling him ugly and a sissy . A rare interview with Oprah in 1993 made us see that he was in fact a small helpless insecure boy trying continuously to remake his face through plastic surgery and then hiding it half the time under a mask

Who ripped the KING ?
GOT TO BE THERE 1971 The song from Chaka Khan ’ s eponymous album , that landed the American songstress a Grammy nomination in 1982 also happens to be Jackson ’ s first solo single , he produced 11 years earlier after his tenure with The Jackson 5 . At that time , the song was ranked # 4 on the Billboard charts
Well no one ever said show business was easy . And there ’ s no greater example of that than Michael Jackson himself . Splashed across his timeline in the media and outside are his five greatest and worst defining moments known to mankind !
PRETTY YOUNG THING 1983 The penultimate single from Thriller climbed to the tenth position on Billboard ’ s Hot 100 ranking . Kanye West later sampled it on Good Life ( released 2007 ). The song went on to win West a Grammy for Best Rap Song at the 50th Grammy Awards
1968 1969 1982 1983 1984 1988
1969 , Four days before Woodstock , Diana Ross introduced The Jackson 5 to the public . It was a scrawny kid in child-sized bell-bottoms and a radiant smile that stole the show . A prodigious talent who “ sang with the sadness and passion of a man who had been living the blues and heartbreak his whole life .” ( as Betty Gordon , founder of Motown Records said )
1982 , Seven singles that reached Billboard ’ s top 10 , with videos that reeked art . This was the ‘ Thriller-mania ’ that made TIME declare “ Jackson is the biggest thing since The Beatles ” Thriller sold 45 million copies , the most of any album in history until recently and the ‘ man in the mirror ’ had arrived with a message for a confusing new decade
1983 , The King gave unto us his most precious gift of all , a gift that made the impossible look possible . Christ walked on water , but at least everyone saw him walk , Jackson didn ’ t seem to walk yet moved . The Moonwalk is undoubtedly more famous than Armstrong ’ s muffed up first words . A gift held by everyone so dearly that inmates of a prison in remote Philippines moonwalked in memory of their King
1984 , While filming a Pepsi commercial , Jackson ’ s glossy Jheri curls caught fire when the fireworks erupted too early in front of 3000 people . Sources say that to relieve the second and third degree burns on his scalp and body , Jackson was prescribed several medications . This kicked off his addiction to painkillers and obsession with plastic surgery
1988 , Jackson built a 3000- acre Peter Pan-inspired Southern California property that functioned as his home , private zoo and full-featured amusement park . A cultural touchstone that showcased its owner ’ s many eccentricities . A place where young fans of the star were often invited over for sleepovers
