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.

You and me, makin' love all the way through another night
I remember you and I walkin' through the park at night
Kiss and touch, nothin' much
Let it blow, just touch and go
Love me more, never leave me alone by house of love
People talk, people say what we have is just a game
Oh, I'll never let you go
Just got to make sweet love 'til the break of dawn
I don't want the sun to shine, I wanna make love (break of dawn)
Plus this magic in your eyes and in my heart (break of dawn)
I don't know what I'm gon' do, I can't stop lovin' you (it's the break of dawn)
I won't stop 'til break of dawn makin' love
Hold my hand, feel the sweat
Yes, you've got me nervous yet
Let me groove, let me soothe
Let me take you on a cruise
There's imagination, I bet you've never been there before
Have you ever wanted to dream about those places you've never known?

I can't believe people called this album a flop.. This side of MJ touched my soul with his vocals.
@MsTrueTy
It sold 8 millions copies. FAR! from a flop even by the numbers sake. thats almost diamond status. There are artist who cant get 8 million sales in the entirety of their careers. Mike did this on ONE ALBUM. The media just was hating per usual. Couldnt stand that Michael was indeed invincible. The lies hurt the sales to michael sale standard. However 8 million is NOT A FLOP this album still made them eat their hearts out. Plus its a masterpiece. No bad song on here.

It wasn't a flop it probably didn't get sell well as Thriller or Bad.If it would've had enough singles out there and music videos that might had been better sold.
