Michael Jackson - The Prince of All Time

Michael Joseph Jackson was born on August 29, 1958 in Gary, Indiana. He is an American recording artist, entertainer and businessman, belonging to a working class family, the son of a steel mill employee Joseph Jackson and Katherine Esther.He was the seventh of nine children who are all singers. Michael is referred to as the "King of Pop" and cited as one of the world's most famous men.
Jackson's childhood was full of bitter memories from his father's abusive way of raising his children. Some specific events were told by Michael in interviews. He cannot forget the incessant rehearsals together with some of his siblings. His father would hold a belt in one hand, whipping anyone of them, especially him when he made a mistake.
There was one instance when he was held upside down by one leg and beaten on his back and buttocks, and these and even more mental and physical abuses have affected Michael's formative years, probably explaining many of current problems. He is on record as saying that he would become physically sick and 'regurgitate' whenever he saw his father.
