They Overcame Rocky Childhoods

Michael Jackson

Rest in peace to the king of pop, Michael Jackson. The one that stole many people’s hearts with his swift dance moves and elegant voice always had a knack for entertainment ever since a young age. Was that really his calling? You’ve heard the tales of Joe Jackson so maybe he is the real reason behind Michael’s entertainment life.

In an interview with Oprah, Michael detailed a bit about how his father would treat him and his siblings. “If you didn’t do it the right way, he would tear you up, really get you,” he told Winfrey. Often, Jackson said, his dad would be sitting a chair with a belt in his hand. Scary.
