Jackson's musical career began in 1967 as lead singer of The Jackson 5, when the group made their first recording with a local label before signing up with Motown Records in 1968. He made his first solo recordings in 1971 while still a member of the group. But it was Off the Wall (1979) which marked the start of his full-fledged solo career, and he formally parted with his siblings in 1984. In his solo career, Jackson recorded and co-produced the best-selling album of all time, Thriller (with worldwide sales over 100 million), received thirteen Grammy awards and charted thirteen #1 singles in the U.S. Throughout his four-decade career, Michael Jackson has been awarded numerous honors, including the World Music Awards Best-selling Pop Male Artist of the Millennium. He is also a double-inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, as a member of The Jackson 5 in 1997, and in 2002 as a solo artist. He is also a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame. In the mid-1980s, TIME magazine described Jackson as "the hottest single phenomenon since Elvis Presley". He has had a notable impact on music and culture throughout the world while also tearing down racial barriers and paving the way for modern pop music.
From 1988 to 2005, Jackson lived on his Neverland Ranch property, on which he built an amusement park and private zoo for the enjoyment of economically disadvantaged and terminally ill children. In 1993 and 2003, separate accusations of child molestation that allegedly occurred in Neverland were made against Jackson, which drew intensely negative media coverage. While he was never charged for the first case, Jackson was tried and vindicated in 2005 of the latter allegation, but moved out of the US shortly thereafter. He later returned to Las Vegas in early 2007.
In the years following his acquittal, (2005-2009) Jackson made numerous public appearances including MTV Japan's VMA awards where he accepted the legends award; the World Music Awards where he accepted the Diamond Award for selling over 100 million records; James Brown's funeral where he paid tribute and delivered a sermon; and a fan appreciation event in Tokyo, Japan, where he greeted troops at US Army base Camp Zama. In early 2008, Jackson issued Thriller 25th Anniversary, a critical and commercial success that was the second-biggest selling album of 2008 with over 2.1 million copies sold worldwide.
On June 25, 2009, Jackson collapsed at a rented home in Holmby Hills in Los Angeles, California. The cause of death is currently believed to be cardiac arrest. At the time of his death, Jackson was scheduled to perform 50 sold-out concerts to over one million people, at London's O2 arena, from July 13, 2009, to March 6, 2010. During a press conference, Jackson made suggestions of possible retirement.
In the hours following Jackson's death, his record sales increased dramatically. His seminal album Thriller climbed to number one on the American iTunes music chart, while another eight made it into the top 40. In the UK, where Jackson would have performed less than three weeks after his death, fifteen of his albums occupied the top 15 spots on the Amazon music chart. Social music network website Last.fm also saw a dramatic increase in Michael Jackson plays per hour after the announcement of his death.
On December 10, 2010, a compilation album of previously unreleased material, simply entitled Michael, was released posthumously. Featuring guest performances by Akon, 50 Cent and Lenny Kravitz, the album was certified Platinum in 18 countries but received mixed reviews from most critics. This was followed in November 2011 by Immortal, a remix album; in September 2012 by Bad 25, a 25th anniversary reissue of Jackson's 1987 hit album Bad; and by Xscape, a second compilation album released in May 2014.

A Place With No Name
Michael Jackson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My jeep began to rock
I didn't know what to do so I stopped and got out
And looked down and noticed I got a flat
So I walked out, parked the car like sideways
So I can find what I can fix
I looked around there were no cars on the highway
I walked down towards the end of the road
And in the fog a woman appeared
She said don't you worry my friend I'll take care
Take my hand, I'll take you there
Oh
Take me to a place without no name
Take me to a place without no name
Take me to a place without no name
Take me to a place without no name
As she took me right through the fog
I see a beautiful city appear
Where kids are playin' and people are laughin' and smiling and
Nothing to fear fear
She said this is the place where no people have pain
With love and happiness
She turned around looked down at my eyes and started cryin'
She grabbed my hand, you got a friend
Oh
Take me to a place without no name
Yeah
She started likin' me kissin' me and huggin' me
She didn't really, really want me to leave
She showed me places I've never seen things I've never done
This really looks like a lotta fun
I seen the grass and the sky and the birds
And the flowers surrounded by the trees
This place is filled with love and happiness
How in the world could I wanna leave
So then I went in my pocket took my wallet on out
With my pictures of my family and girl
This is the place that you choose to be with me
When you thought you could be in another world
Oh
Take me to a place without no name
La la la
A place without no name
La la la
A place without no name (La, la, la)
The lyrics of Michael Jackson's song "A Place with No Name" describe the singer's experience of driving down the highway and getting a flat tire. As he gets out to fix it, he feels a strange mist-like feeling and decides to walk down the road where he sees a woman appearing through the fog. She takes him to a beautiful city where he witnesses kids playing, people laughing, and smiling without any fear or pain. This place seems to be filled with love and happiness, where Jackson sees things he has never seen before, and he doesn't want to leave.
The woman who guides Jackson through this city seems to have a close bond with him, kissing, hugging him and showing him all around the city. However, when he pulls his wallet out, filled with pictures of his family and girlfriend, he realizes that he cannot stay there forever. Overall, the song resonates positively, highlighting human connections, love, and a magical escape.

As I drove across on the highway
I was driving on the highway
My jeep began to rock
My jeep started shaking
I didn't know what to do so I stopped and got out
I was unsure of how to deal with the situation so I pulled over and got out of my jeep
And looked down and noticed I got a flat
I noticed my tire was flat
So I walked out, parked the car like sideways
I got out of the jeep and parked it sideways
So I can find what I can fix
I did this to inspect what was fixable
I looked around there were no cars on the highway
I saw that there were no other cars on the highway
I felt a strange feeling like a mist
I felt a strange sensation like a fog had set in
I walked down towards the end of the road
I walked to the end of the road
And in the fog a woman appeared
I saw a woman appear out of the fog
She said don't you worry my friend I'll take care
The woman assured me not to worry as she'll provide assistance
Take my hand, I'll take you there
She offered her hand to take me away
As she took me right through the fog
As she led me through the fog
I see a beautiful city appear
I noticed a beautiful city in front of me
Where kids are playin' and people are laughin' and smiling and
I saw a lively street with children playing and happy people
Nothing to fear fear
I felt safe and had no reason to be afraid
She said this is the place where no people have pain
The woman explained that this is a place where no one experiences pain
With love and happiness
She added that it's a place of love and happiness
She turned around looked down at my eyes and started cryin'
She turned around and looked at me, she started crying
She grabbed my hand, you got a friend
The lady held my hand, showing that I can count on her as a friend
She started likin' me kissin' me and huggin' me
She started to show affection and love towards me through kissing and hugging
She didn't really, really want me to leave
She didn't want me to go away
She showed me places I've never seen things I've never done
She showed me unique sights and new experiences
This really looks like a lotta fun
I thought everything looked like a lot of fun
I seen the grass and the sky and the birds
I saw fields of grass and clear skies and birds flying
And the flowers surrounded by the trees
There were trees and flowers around me
This place is filled with love and happiness
I could feel that this place was full of joy and love
How in the world could I wanna leave
I wondered why anyone would want to leave this place
So then I went in my pocket took my wallet on out
I searched my pocket and took out my wallet
With my pictures of my family and girl
Inside the wallet were pictures of my loved ones
This is the place that you choose to be with me
I realized that my loved ones would want to be in this place with me
When you thought you could be in another world
Even though I thought of being in a different place, this place is where I should be
A place without no name
A place that has no name
Take me to a place without no name
Take me to an unnamed place
La la la
The sound expressing joy and pleasure

Such a talented gifted man he was...
What have they done to him...
Such a shame really...
What a treasure this country had...
It's unbelievable...
Just imagine what he would have created in the next years...
That's tragic...
No words...
