Michael Jackson was on the road of performing when he was five years old.As is known to all, the road to fame and fortune is a long, hard one.

Michael remembers those early years when he was young.“My father was a machine operator,” he explained, “and he worked at a steel plant. My mother worked at Sears, a big department store. But they were both musicians.”

Michael's father Joe Jackson realized his sons had a lot of talent, and he knew he could train them to become fine musicians. In those days there were plenty of music groups and some of them were very good. He knew if his sons were to stand out, they would have to be the best.

Practice makes perfect. And the Jackson boys practised! Gradually the group took shape. Then word of this group began to get around. Thus Michael got a chance to do some solo(独唱) songs. In the following years, Michael was always on the top. One million records of his were sold in New Zealand, which has only a total population of three million!

When Michael was eighteen, he entered another field of his career(生涯)—acting. “I plan to star in movies,” he told his friends, “but of course, my first love is music.”

Michael wrote a lot of his own songs. “Songs came about in the strangest ways,” he said, “I’ll just wake up from sleeping and there is a whole song coming into my head. And then I put it down on the paper.”

Still, with all his success, Michael managed to keep his head calm. “I just do a different job from other people,” he said, “but it doesn't make me think I'm better than other people.”

To be quite honest, his fans just love to hear and watch him!
