Michael Joseph Jackson was born August 29, 1958 as the 8th child of Joseph and Katherine Jackson in middle class Gary, IN. Michael and his entire family were raised Jehovah’s Witness.
Although called a marriage, the union was more like a merger as Michael married Elvis’s daughter Lisa Marie in 1994. Michael’s marriage to his second wife was widely categorized as a publicity stunt, the woman named Debbie Rowe, and mother of his two children.
