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.

Michael Jackson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Somebody's missing a friend, hold on
Somebody's lacking a hero
And they have not a clue
When it's all going to end
Stories buried and untold
Someone is hiding the truth, hold on
And will the sun ever shine
In the blind man's eyes when he cries?
You can change the world (I can't do it by myself)
You can touch the sky (gonna to take somebody's help)
You're the chosen one (I'm going to need some kind of sign)
If we all cry at the same time tonight
People laugh when they're feeling sad
Someone is taking a life, hold on
Respect to believe in your dreams
Tell me where were you
When your children cried last night?
Faces fill with madness
Miracles unheard of, hold on
Faith is found in the winds
All we have to do
Is to reach for the truth, the truth
You can change the world (I can't do it by myself)
You can touch the sky (going to take somebody's help)
You're the chosen one (I'm going to need some kind of sign)
If we all cry at the same time tonight
And when that flag blows
There'll be no more wars
And when all calls
I will answer all your prayers, prayers
You can change the world (I can't do it by myself)
You can touch the sky (going to take somebody's help)
You're the chosen one (I'm going to need some kind of sign)
If we all cry at the same time tonight
You can change the world (I can't do it by myself)
You can touch the sky (going to take somebody's help)
You're the chosen one (I'm going to need some kind of sign)
If we all cry at the same time tonight
You can change the world
You can touch the sky, that's right (going to take somebody's help)
You're the chosen one (I'm going to need some kind of sign)
If we all cry at the same time tonight
If we all cry at the same time tonight
If we all cry at the same time tonight
Change the world
The lyrics of Michael Jackson's song Cry deal with themes of mourning, loss, hope, and the desire for change in society. The song opens with a verse about people who are struggling, but it is not clear when their struggles will end. The following verse alludes to hidden truths and the hope that one day they will be revealed. Jackson then addresses the listener, encouraging them to believe in their power to bring about change and emphasizes that collective effort is needed to make change happen. He alludes to the potential for a better world, one in which war is no longer necessary and where prayers are answered.
Jackson sings about the struggles that people face every day, showing empathy for those who are missing friends or lacking a hero to look up to. He urges people to believe in their dreams and not lose sight of hope, even in times of madness and confusion. Through the song, Jackson gives a voice to those who are suffering, calling attention to important issues in the world and inspiring listeners to take action.
In the chorus, Jackson repeats the same lyrics repeatedly "You can change the world, You can touch the sky, You're the chosen one, If we all cry at the same time tonight". These lyrics highlight the power of collective action, and the belief that together people can create change.

If we all cry at the same time tonight
Everybody has the potential to make a difference in the world, but it takes collective effort and support to truly achieve something great. Even with one's own strengths and talents, it can still be difficult to overcome obstacles without the help of others. Therefore, we must come together and acknowledge our shared struggles and emotions if we want to create meaningful change.
People laugh when they're feeling sad
Someone is taking a life, hold on
Respect to believe in your dreams
Tell me where were you
When your children cried last night?
People often mask their sadness and pain by putting on a brave or cheerful front, but there are also those who are causing harm and violence in the world. It is important to have faith in one's dreams and not lose hope, but it is also crucial to acknowledge the suffering of others and take action to help them.
Faces fill with madness
Miracles unheard of, hold on
Faith is found in the winds
All we have to do
Is to reach for the truth, the truth
The world can seem chaotic and unpredictable, and it may seem like there is no hope or possibility for anything to change. But even in the most difficult of times, there are still moments of beauty and wonder that emerge. It is through having faith and staying true to oneself that one can find strength and purpose in life.
And when that flag blows
There'll be no more wars
And when all calls
I will answer all your prayers, prayers
The image of a flag blowing in the wind represents the hope for peace and unity in the world. If we can all come together and work towards this common goal, then we can put an end to war and conflict. Additionally, there is a sense of comfort and reassurance in the idea that we are not alone in our struggles, and that there is a force greater than ourselves that is looking out for us.
You can change the world
You can touch the sky (going to take somebody's help)
You're the chosen one (I'm going to need some kind of sign)
If we all cry at the same time tonight
The repetition of this chorus emphasizes the message that change is possible, but it cannot be done alone. We need to work together and acknowledge our shared pain if we want to make a real impact on the world. Even if we feel lost or uncertain, we are all capable of making a difference if we believe in ourselves and in each other.
