Michael Jackson: The '80s

Michael Jackson defined ‘80s pop, pumping out megahits that melded funk, rock, disco, and any other genre he could get his hands on. His indelible songs ranged from dance-floor-jolting tracks like “Thriller” to reflective ballads like the pensive “Human Nature” or the pleading “Man In the Mirror.” Whether working solo or with his brothers, Jackson's singular touch made him the King of Pop.
