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 Are Not Alone / I Just Can't Stop Loving You
Michael Jackson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How could this be? You're not here with me
You never said goodbye, someone tell me, why
Did you have to go and
Leave my world so cold?
Every day I sit and ask myself
"How did love slip away?"
That you are not alone, I am here with you
Though you're far away, I am here to stay
But you are not alone, I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
But you are not alone
'Lone, 'lone why, 'lone
Each time the wind blows
I hear your voice so I call your name
Whispers at morning, our love is dawning
Heaven's glad you came
You know how I feel, this
Thing can't go wrong
I'm so proud to say I love you
Your love's got me high, I long to
Get by, this time is forever
Love is the answer
I hear your voice now, you are my choice now
The love you bring
Heaven's in my heart, at your call
I hear harps and angels sing
You know how I feel, this
Thing can't go wrong
I can't live my life without you
I just can't hold on, I feel we
Belong, my life ain't worth living
If I can't be with you
I just can't stop loving you
I just can't stop loving you and if I stop
Then tell me just what will I do
'Cause I just can't stop loving you
Noche de estrellas
Haz que me quiera como a ella yo
De madrugada, ven que te espera todo mi amor
Soy joven, lo sé
Pero siento que te quiero y solo vivo por ti
Me conoces bien y sabes también
Que yo no puedo vivir sin tu amor
Todo mi amor eres tú, todo mi amor eres tú
(Oh, oh, and it feels)
Cuando no estás no hay quien me
Dé lo que das tú (Uh, huh)
I just can't stop loving you
We can change all the world tomorrow
We can sing songs of yesterday
I can say, "Hey, Farewell" to sorrow
This is my life and I want
To see you for always
I just can't stop loving you
I just can't stop loving you
(No, baby, if I can't stop, Oh)
And if I stop
Then tell me just what will I do
(Oh! Oh! Oh, oh, What will I do?)
I just can't stop loving you
I just can't stop loving you
(Hee hee hee, without you, girl
You know I do) and if I stop
Then tell me just what will I do
I just can't stop loving you
Remember the Time remember the Time
Remember the Time remember the Time
The lyrics to "You Are Not Alone / I Just Can't Stop Loving You" by Michael Jackson feat. Siedah Garrett express feelings of loneliness, longing, and deep love. The song starts with the singer feeling abandoned and questioning why their loved one had to leave, leaving their world cold and empty. They sit every day and wonder how their love slipped away. However, there is a whisper in their ear that reminds them that they are not alone and that the person they love is still with them, even if they are far away. The singer expresses how proud they are to love this person and how their love brings them joy.
As the song continues, the singer hears their loved one's voice in the wind and calls out their name. They feel the presence of their love in the morning, as if heaven is rejoicing that they are together. The singer believes that their love is the answer and that it brings paradise to their heart. They can't imagine living without their loved one and can't hold on without them. The idea of being apart is unbearable, and their life feels meaningless without their presence.
The song then shifts to Spanish lyrics, where the singer expresses their desire for the person they love. They say that they feel young but are consumed by their love for them. They acknowledge that the person knows them well and understands that they cannot live without their love. They proclaim that all their love belongs to this person, and no one else can give them what they do.
Overall, "You Are Not Alone / I Just Can't Stop Loving You" is a heartfelt song about the pain of separation and the deep love that remains despite the distance. It conveys the message that love transcends physical presence and that even when apart, the bond between two people can be unbreakable.
Line by Line Meaning
Another day has gone, I'm still all alone
Though time passes, I remain without companionship
How could this be? You're not here with me
I wonder how it is possible that you are not by my side
You never said goodbye, someone tell me, why
You departed without bidding farewell, please explain the reason
Did you have to go and leave my world so cold?
Was it necessary for you to depart and leave my existence devoid of warmth?
Every day I sit and ask myself 'How did love slip away?'
On a daily basis, I contemplate the departure of love and wonder how it happened
Something whispers in my ear and says
A voice softly speaks to me and conveys
That you are not alone, I am here with you
You are not without companionship, for I am present by your side
Though you're far away, I am here to stay
Even though you reside in distance, I am here permanently
But you are not alone, I am here with you
However, you are not without companionship, as I remain by your side

(Oh, oh, and it feels) When you are not present, no one can provide me with what you offer. I simply cannot cease my love for you
We can change all the world tomorrow
We hold the power to transform the entire world in the future
We can sing songs of yesterday
We have the ability to sing melodies from days gone by

I possess the capability to bid farewell to sadness
This is my life and I want to see you for always
This existence is mine, and I desire to be in your presence eternally
