At 65 Years Old, Michael Jackson Opens Up About Everything
Michael Jackson grew up in a very strict household. His father, Joe, was a disciplinarian who often used a belt to maintain order. His mother, Katherine, contrasted this with her kindness and warmth. Musically gifted and originally dreaming of a country singing career, she instead focused on supporting her family through a part-time job at Sears and dedicated herself to her religious beliefs. Life at home was a mix of lively moments with his brothers and sisters, and the deep sadness of losing his baby brother, Brandon. One day, a mysterious letter arrived at Michael's door. It had a warning that could reveal big secrets from his past.
In nineteen sixty-five, things began to change when Michael became a lead singer in the group, alongside his brother Jermaine. The band, now called The Jackson 5, started to get noticed in local talent shows. Picture Michael, still just a kid, singing and dancing to songs like "Barefootin'" and "My Girl," and winning over crowds with his talent. This was the moment when music became more than just a hobby-it became a serious career path for him.
