Some say legends are made, others say, legends are born. Michael Jackson is both. He stepped into the limelight as a young boy from Indiana, and into the hearts and minds of millions for years to come. His artist talent seemed boundless. A performance artist, singing and dancing, he just as easily captivated just the right composition, or the right merchandising appeal. He mesmerized fans to not only want to hear him, but to see him, and be like him. Fans began to dress like him, buying the look from red leather pants and curled hair, to sporting Michael Jackson T-Shirts.

Jackson represented extraordinary success, and had a contagious allure that attracted legions who wanted to be a part of his circle. His creative projects were often unparalleled. He became the poster child of artistic success, creatively and financially. As he grew from child through adult years, his persona blossomed beyond the confines of any one music genre and became extraordinary around the world.

Millions of fans were captivated. More than three hundred and seventy-eight awards were bestowed upon him. Every category of music that he competed to win in the top music industry contests, he won. Among his winnings are 13 Grammy Awards, 26 American Music Awards, and 12 World Music Awards. Jackson won thirteen Guinness World Records, the top among recording artists.

The "Thriller" album earned one hundred ten million dollars, with the Recording Industry Association of America reporting sale of twenty-nine million units. The album remains at the top of all albums sold. The Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted him. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted him two times. Jackson has received the most awards of any other recording artist in music history.

Beyond the entertainment arena, Jackson channeled his efforts to those in need. Jackson shared and turned the fame spotlight to the less fortunate, and to HIV research. Jackson personalized these causes, and thanked his fans for supporting him, and urged them to support his charities. Just as with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, not one, but two U. S. Presidents honored Jackson by inviting him for public honor to the White House.

Not only fans, but countless artists and advertising sponsors were lining up to collaborate with Jackson. Product commercial endorsements were just as eagerly watched by fans as his music videos. Jackson collaborated with Stevie Wonder, sibling Janet, and Paul McCartney.

When it comes to merchandise, there are thousands of items from which to choose. A person might be among his biggest fans, or casual fans. A person might be interested in collectibles as an investment. Products based on awards, movies, halls of fame, tours, albums, singles, film characters, and humanitarian efforts can be as attractive as the man himself.

In 1997 media reported a drop of annual income for Michael Jackson, from $35 million to $20 million dollars. Postmortem, the year after his death, reports indicated earnings of over $1 billion. Considering his lifetime of stellar achievement, the record-breaking postmortem success should be no surprise. He left the world as many moments to celebrate his lifetime of achievement. Whether sporting Michael Jackson T-Shirts or moon walking, the world will be forever inspired by the legendary talent.
