Happy 56th birthday To the King of Pop 
29 August 1958 was about to change forever, for one particular family from Gary, Indiana. The focus centres on a working class couple Joe and Katherine Jackson (already with 6 children in tow) who were to be blessed and to bless us all with a child. Not just any child, but a magical, unique child and a rare gem that is so precious and is to be unleashed to the world. Then at 7.33pm local Indiana time, a beautiful baby boy has been delivered into this world, a truly special gift, and an even remarkable bundle of joy that was to thrill this earth with his unique presence. This gorgeous radiant incandescent cherubic boy was named Michael Joseph Jackson. The rest, as they say, is HIStory. Here we are, 56 years later.
Reminiscing and celebrating the most remarkable, colourful, dazzling and captivating life of someone who dazzled us with brilliance, magic,benevolence, compassion, humanity, talent, prodigious gift, music and dance that has changed the world and the musical landscape forever. Happy birthday to the greatest philanthropist and entertainer that has ever lived - Michael Jackson. Long live the King!
