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.

Heaven Can Wait
Michael Jackson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't want nobody else to hold you
That's the chance I'll take
Baby I'll stay, Heaven can wait
No, if the angels took me from this earth
I would tell them bring me back to her
It's a chance I'll take, maybe I'll stay
Heaven can wait
You're beautiful, you're wonderful
Incredible, I love you so
You're beautiful
Each moment spent with you is simply wonderful
This love I have for you girl it's incredible
And I don't know what I'd do, if I can't be with you
The world could not go on so every night I pray
If the Lord should come for me before I wake
I wouldn't want to go if I can't see your face, can't hold you close
What good would Heaven be
If the angels came for me? I'd tell them no
Tell the angels no, I don't want to leave my baby alone
I don't want nobody else to hold you
That's a chance I'll take
Baby I'll stay, Heaven can wait
No, if the angels took me from this earth
I would tell them bring me back to her
It's a chance I'll take, maybe I'll stay
Heaven can wait
Unthinkable
Me sitting up in the clouds and you are all alone
The time might come around when you'd be moving on
I'd turn it all around and try to get back down to my baby girl
Can't stand to see nobody kissing, touching her
Couldn't take nobody loving you the way we were
What good would Heaven be?
If the angels come for me I'd tell them no
No, I don't want to leave my baby alone
I don't want nobody else to hold you
That's a chance I'll take
Baby I'll stay, Heaven can wait
No, if the angels took me from this earth
I would tell them bring me back to her
It's a chance I'll take, maybe I'll stay
Heaven can wait
Oh no, can't be without my baby
Won't go, without her I'd go crazy
Oh no, guess Heaven will be waiting
Ooh
Oh no, can't be without my baby
Won't go, without her I'd go crazy
Oh no, guess Heaven will be waiting
Ooh
(No, no) no, I don't want to leave my baby alone
I don't want nobody else to hold you
That's a chance I'll take
Baby I'll stay, Heaven can wait
No, if the angels took me from this earth
I would tell them bring me back to her
It's a chance I'll take, maybe I'll stay
Heaven can wait (no)
Just leave us alone
(You're beautiful, you're wonderful, incredible, I love you so)
Leave us alone
Please leave us alone (you're beautiful)
Please leave us alone
Oh, leave me alone
Please leave me alone
I said leave me alone
"Heaven Can Wait" is a touching love song by Michael Jackson in which he expresses his undying love for his significant other and his unwillingness to leave her. The lyrics depict Jackson as someone who is ready to take a chance and stay on earth rather than going to heaven because he can't imagine being without his lover. He implores the angels not to take him away from the world because he wants to be with his baby forever. Jackson's seemingly eternal devotion is represented in the line, "I don't want nobody else to hold you, that's a chance I'll take/Baby, I'll stay, heaven can wait."
The second verse of the song sees Jackson confessing that his love for his significant other is incredible and wonderful. He goes on to declare that he can't bear the thought of being without her, and even in heaven, he wouldn't want to be there without her by his side. The lyrics also express Jackson's devotion and love for his significant other as he says he's ready to turn the natural order of things around to be with her once again. "Unthinkable/me sitting up in the clouds and you are all alone/The time might come around when you'd be moving on/I'd turn it all around and try to get back down to my baby girl."
In conclusion, "Heaven Can Wait" is a beautiful and timeless love song that depicts Jackson's undying love and devotion for his significant other. The lyrics reveal a deep passion that is so palpable when listening to the song.

Timothy. Proven innocent in court. The fbi searched for 10+ years and found nothing. There’s no evidence. MJ was framed. Watch square one by Danny wu.
And if you believe in wade and James then you obviously have not don’t your research. They are proven liars. I’ll give you a few examples....
Safechuck in his lawsuit: ‘I was abused by Michael Jackson in New York in 1989 after he performed at the Grammys
Fact: the Grammys were in los Angeles that year and Michael wasn’t even there.😂
Wade robson claimed to be molested by MJ at neverland ranch 100+ times. Although his mother said they had only been 14 times and Michael was only present 4 out of those 14 times.
Wade said Michael never let him go around girls... although Michael set him up with his own niece and they went on to date for years
James said Michael abused him on thanksgiving at neverland.... Michael was actually touring in Australia then.
James also said Michael abused him at the train station in neverland.. turns out it wasn’t even built then.
James said Michael took him on a ‘honeymoon’ in 1988 to Disneyland Paris..... it wasn’t opened until 1992.
Wade and James keep changing their stories which makes them unreliable. That so called doc has many many inconsistencies. For more info watch lies of leaving neverland.
