Michael Jackson was a musical phenomenon at the age of five. By the time he reached early adulthood he was a living legend. But despite all of his musical successes, he lived with many personal and professional struggles. He was born into a large family. The Jacksons lived in a three-room home in a poor neighborhood. His father was domineering and pushed Michael and his brothers hard to make their band, the Jackson 5, succeed. Michael spent his childhood working while other kids were playing. He grew up into a shy, throubled young man whose music was his focus. Through all of his problems, Michael never forgot his dream that the music he created would help change the world. Today, that dream is still the driving force in his life.
