Michael Jackson Discography
![]() |
Opinion will vary about Michael Jackson the celebrity, but there is no disputing the talent and genius of Michael Jackson the singer and artist.
He started out singing with his brothers for Motown in 1968; 20 years later, he was on top of the world as the 'King of Pop'.
The star, one of the most famous men on the planet, has shocked the world by dying suddenly at the age of 50. He leaves behind a rich legacy of music: from Motown and the Jackson 5 to disco with The Jacksons and that phenomenal solo career defined by the Thriller album and its subsequent video. We take a look at some essential Michael Jackson releases; if you're a true music fan, get your hands on a couple of these albums. Rest in peace, Michael.
