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.

Fall Again
Michael Jackson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every single moment that we spend apart
I need you around for every day to start
I haven't left you alone
There's something about you, I stare in your eyes
Everything I'm looking for I seem to find
All this time away is killing me inside
I need your love in my life
I want to spend time 'til it ends
I want to fall with you again
Like we did when we first met
I want to fall with you again (ohh)
(Ohh)
Da-da, I
Fought in a battle but nobody won
And left ourselves a mountain to be overcome
You can't run away, the past is said and done
I need us to carry on, ohh
I want to spend time 'til it ends
I want to fall with you again
Like we did when we first met
I want to fall with you again
You try everything you never thought of before
When you live, when you love and you give them your all
You can always give up some more
Nothing means anything unless you're here with me
I can breathe, I can bleed, I can die in my sleep
'Cause you're always there in my dreams
I want to spend time 'til it ends
I want to fall with you again
Like we did when we first met
I want to fall with you again
I want to spend time 'til it ends
I want to fall with you again
Like we did when we first met
I want to fall with you again, ooh
Oh, yeah
Ba-da
All that I find here in my heart
That's cool, ooh-oh
That's a great sound

No one be like him
No no no one never and ever
He is the only one person of all time
Who is very honest handsome and his voice 😚😚😚😚😍
How can i express....🤔
Their is no ways to judge him
He is just superman
And the god😍😍😍
Of music
He is the king👑👑👑👑
@joumananasser711
He DEFINITELY talks about Lisa Marie Presley.
It hurts like hell that he loved to the bones and she was that tough.
When he sang "i haven't left you alone" it seems he was referring to her words when she said he left me alone and i was a piece of furniture.
"I need us to carry on" he may wrote that song during his tough time and he hoped if she was here to be with him to carry on together. At least with her presence in his life he could have fought with his struggles much better.
I feel Michael's hurt right now. He never felt happy though we thought he was.
RIP the king.

@Chuckson56
If Michael Jackson had released this song as a single it would have been a Top 10 hit without hesitation or question.
@voicenoteswithbrookewilliams
Chuckson56 ikr
@adrianatgaming8640
a lot of things dictate the success of a song. they don't care about us, despite sounding amazing, did not become a top 10 hit.
@michellehawkins1027
This honestly does not sound like something Michael would have released without a lot more fine-tuning. Doesn't sound quite right.
