Michael Jackson was one of the best to ever do it.
The child star who matured into his own stardom and then died unexpectedly in 2009 at age 50, may have had a difficult life offstage, but he left behind a body of work so significant that he will never be forgotten. Jackson was a singer, songwriter, performer and creator who influenced countless artists who will nonetheless never achieve his greatness. He was a superstar when the title wasn’t given out so easily.
