Michael Joseph Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana on August 29, 1958. He was the seventh child of nine children to Joseph and Katherine Jackson and was born into a typical working class family. The city of Gary is 25 miles from downtown Chicago and is famous for its massive steel industry. It took its name from the chairman of U.S. Steel, Elbert H Gary, and is nicknamed 'City of Century' – we're hoping for ironic reasons.

• God bless the Jackson's Famili, Rest in peace Michael Jackson. God has call cause you to take your rest in Him. Jesus has open the floodgate of heaven smiling and welcome Michael jackson in through the pearly gate. Michael is walking on the streets of gold a transparent glass. Jesus has wiped all of his tears and took all of his pains and sorrows away from him. Michael Jackson in that new city of Jerusalem dancing, prasing and shouting and glad to be there.
