It has been over two years (June 25, 2009) since the tragic passing of the iconic entertainer, Michael Jackson. Born on August 29, 1958, Michael Joseph Jackson came into the world with an amazing talent and eventually became the lead singer of a chart-topping, 70s & 80s musical group with his brothers, The Jackson 5 (The Jacksons). Following his time as the lead singer, Michael set out to embark a solo career, where he eventually trail-blazed the music industry, setting records after records with studio albums like Off the Wall, Thriller, Bad and HIStory: Past, Present and Future.
Monday would have been the pop music icon’s 53rd birthday. In honor of his many musical accomplishment and milestones, here are some memorable music videos & performances by the most successful entertainer of all time.
A very happy birthday to the King of Pop! Your creative influence and musical legacy will live on forever!

Beyoncé showed she’s not letting a little thing like a baby bump keep her from rocking high fashion, as she performed ‘Love on Top’ wearing a Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2011 purple sequined tux.
Bruno donned a very similar look during his moving Amy Winehouse tribute. His blue silk tux jacket with black lapels, when paired with his slim necktie and old school hairstyle, create quite the retro look.
Chris went a different style route than Bey and Bruno, choosing head-to-toe white for his nearly show stopping performance.
