Fame rising.

In 1967, The Jackson 5 later recorded mores songs. Their songs topped the charts of the Billboard Hot 100, including the songs that are one of my personal favorites, ABC, and I'll be there. The Rolling Stone magazine described Michael as a child prodigy, that had overwhelming musical gifts. Then, of course Michael became the main attraction and was made lead singer of The Jackson 5. In June 1975, they signed a new contract with CBS Records, and later with Epic Records. They renamed themselves the Jacksons for some reason I do not know of, and released 6 more albums. Michael was still lead vocals and lead songwriter. He continued to make magic through writing major hits, like Shake Your Body (to the ground), and This Place Hotel. In 1978, Michael decided to take his career to another level and go towards musical theater. He starred as the scarecrow in a box office disaster The Wiz. There, he met up with Quincy Jones. Jones produced Michael's solo album called Off the Wall. In 1979, during one of his dance routine practices Jackson broke his nose. He took action, a very bad one, and had gotten rhinoplasty. In case you guys dont know what a rhinoplasty is, a rhinoplasty is basically, where you under go surgery to "shape" your nose. The first one was a failure. He complained to his doctor that, he had difficulting breathing and that it would effect his career. He went to another doctor with the name Steve Hoefflin. He performed his second surgery and many others throughout his life. Jones and him produced his album Off The Walls together and mentioned like Little Richard had a HUGE influence on him. The album included songs written by Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney from the Beatles. It reached number three on the Billboard 200 and sold over 20 MILLION copies worldwide. What a beast.
