He formed a family band and did it through the Midwest. He got 26 American Music Awards and got 40 of the Billboard Awards. He was also known as the King of pop. People called Michael Jackson the King of PoP because he was good at dancing and singing. He made 10 songs, now that is the 10 top songs. One of them is called Thriller. He married Lisa Marie Presley, daughter of Elvis Presley, in 1994. Michael also got a diease. He wore a gold-plated military style jacket with belt in the Bad era.
