Michael Jackson Not Guilty

Michael Jackson $350 Million

Michael Jackson is known as the King of Pop. He began his career when he was just a child with The Jackson 5. When he went solo, his career exploded. He has many hit songs that he wrote himself including “Bad”, “Beat It”, “Billie Jean,” “Black or White”, and “Dirty Dian”a. He has also written songs for other artists as well. He wrote “Don’t Stop the Music” for Rihanna, “Joy” for Blackstreet and “Keep On Keepin’ On” for MC Lyte.

Sadly, Michael Jackson died too young. He left behind three children and a musical legacy that will last a lifetime. Nobody ever will come close to being the success that Michael Jackson was when he was alive.
