Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American singer, songwriter, record producer, dancer, and actor. Called the King of Pop, his contributions to music and dance, along with his publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades.
The eighth child of the Jackson family, he debuted on the professional music scene along with his elder brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, and Marlon as a member of the Jackson 5 in 1964, and began his solo career in 1971. In the early 1980s, Jackson became a dominant figure in popular music. The music videos for his songs, including those of "Beat It", "Billie Jean", and "Thriller" from his 1982 album Thriller, were credited with breaking down racial barriers and with transforming the medium into an art form and promotional tool. The popularity of these videos helped to bring the then-relatively-new television channel MTV to fame. His 1987 album Bad spawned the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles "I Just Can't Stop Loving You", "Bad", "The Way You Make Me Feel", "Man in the Mirror", and "Dirty Diana", becoming the first album to have five number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100. With videos such as "Black or White" and "Scream", he continued to innovate the medium throughout the 1990s, as well as forging a reputation as a touring solo artist. Through stage and video performances, Jackson popularized a number of complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk, to which he gave the name. His distinctive sound and style has influenced numerous artists of various music genres.

Willow, willow with your head hung down
Are you weeping for me this morning
Don't you know that my woman has left this old town
And the blues they done come and tore me down
Steamboat calling from the waterline
No use calling to me this morning
Don't you know that my sorrows
Got me chained to the ground
And the blues they done come and tore me down
Whistle, whistle on that lonesome train
Are you moaning for me this morning
Tell me why in the day time
Do you make that midnight sound
And bring those blues that just come and tear me down
Dark cloud rolling in the summer sky
Is your cold rain for me this morning
Why don't you let that old sun shine
Spread a smile all around
An chase those blues that just come and tear me down
