Michael was the most interesting iconic entertainer the world has come to know by way of his talent and his humanitarian work, but those who knew him would tell you he was the kindest man you would ever want to to meet. When I classic hits such as "I Want You Back", "Stranger In Moscow," and "Billie Jean", that tells me right there this man had more talent than you could shake at. As a member of the Jackson 5, Michael was destined to become an international superstar with help from his family, Motown founder and mentor, Berry Gordy, and good friend, Diana Ross.
Michael just reminds of his idol, Sam Cooke, in more than one. For example, they both branched out as successful songwriters and producers during their tenures at Specialty and Epic records, and they went on to have successful solo careers. They both ran successful record and music publishing companies;as well, having creative control over their own music.
