On this date in 1970, a young Michael Jackson and The Jackson 5 made their second appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, delivering unforgettable performances of “I Want You Back,” “ABC,” and “The Love You Save.” 🎤
Michael was only 11 years old, but his incredible stage presence and natural charisma were already impossible to miss. Alongside his brothers, he helped create a performance that captured the energy, innocence, and magic of a new generation of pop music.
Looking back, it’s amazing to see just how much talent was already there at such a young age. ❤️
Michael’s Bollywood awards speech, May 1999. He was awarded the Outstanding Humanitarian Award.
“Today a person can literally become a celebrity over night throughout the entire world, and that kind of attention can be difficult for an individual to handle. But I have also learned that such fame can also be an enourmous effective medium to focus attention and mobilise resourses for a worthy cause.”
As The Post embarked on a data-driven analysis of 2026’s song of the summer, we encountered plenty of expected names. Drake, Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift all had major hits.
But one artist stands out from the pack: Michael Jackson. https://t.co/kjl1ySsGnc
michael jackson didn’t donate around $500 million to charity, receiving the guinness world record for most supported charities by a pop star, and have a 155 page book written ab his many more humanitarian acts just for him to be called some billionaire that doesn’t care ab you.
michael would be performing the most spiritual, motivational, emotional, you name it, song ever, with no sexual intent behind the lyrics whatsoever and he do some shit like this.. 😭
