Konstantinos karamanlis biography of michael jackson

Michael Joseph Jackson was an American singer, songwriter, dancer, and one of the most influential and iconic pop music entertainers of all time. His father worked as a crane operator in a steel mill and his mother at a Sears department store.

This member of the New Democracy Party served two terms as Prime Minister of Greece during the middle of the first decade of the 21st Century.

Music was a source of escape from their daily life and both parents were musical themselves. His mother sang and played clarinet and piano. Once Michael joined as lead singer and performer of The Jackson 5, they were on the fast track to fame and fortune. His earliest musical influence was James Brown, known for his mesmerizing dance moves on stage.

Brown personally taught Jackson how to drop the microphone and then catch it before it hit the stage. Michael also adopted the dance moves and dramatic postures of Sammy Davis Jr. Jackson admired the choreographic innovations of Gene Kelly and how Smokey Robinson wrote and produced his own material. Its release was the first time an album by a solo artist had ever struck four hits in the top 10 Billboard Hot charts.

Michael Jackson is equally known for his innovative dance moves. For his live performances, Jackson wanted to create an anti-gravity illusion of leaning from the ankle at a degree angle while keeping his body straight. The shoes were designed with ankle supports and cutouts in the heels, that were temporarily attached to pegs rising from the stage at the appropriate moment.

The effect was a seemingly impossible forward lean. The shoes were patented by Michael Jackson and his co-inventors on October 26,
