machine operator，”he explained，“and he worked at a steel plant．My mother worked at Sears, a big department store．But they were both musicians．”
Mr．Jackson realized that his sons had a lot of talents，and he knew he could train them to become fine musicians. In those days there were plenty of music groups and some of them were very good．He knew if his sons were to stand out，they would have to be the best.
Practice makes perfect．And the Jackson boys practised! Gradually the group took shape. When the Jacksons took their first professional jobs，their total pay was only five dollars! They kept on working．They played at parties．They entered bigger contests．They worked at clubs. Then word of this group began to get around．All of a sudden，the Jackson Five became popular in the county: their first album sold a million copies! Michael，11 years old then，was the star．It just didn?t seem possible that so much talent could come from such a young performer．
The Michael got a chance to d0 some solo songs．For the following years Michael had always been on the top．One million records of his were sold in New Zealand，which had only a total population of three million!
When Michael was eighteen，he entered another field of his career: acting．“I plan to star in movies，”he told his friends，“but of course，my first love is music．”
Michael wrote a lot of his 0wn songs．“Songs came about in the strangest ways，”he said．“I?11 just wake up from sleeping and there is a whole song coming into my head. And then I put it down on the paper．”Whatever he did，it worked!
Still．with a11 his success，Michael managed to keep his head calm．“I just do a different job from other people，”he said，“but it doesn?t make me think I?m better than other people.”
To be quite honest，his fans just love to hear and watch him !
