Today in Michael Jackson History November 5th --- Part 1 (See All 4 Large Photos) 1981 - Michael is on the cover of Jet Magazine in which he is voted Most Popular Male Entertainer. When Michael Jackson recently concluded a 40-city tour as the angelic-voiced lead singer of the world famous vocal quintet of Jackson brothers, he promptly proceeded to his next project-to co-produce an album with Quincy Jones, the Svengali songmaster who produced Michael’s best-selling album, Off The Wall. It was the impact of this triple platinum album and JET readers opinion poll that influenced the editors to name Michael “Most Popular Male Entertainer.” Being the “best” or “most” is nothing new to the fifth of six talented sons of Joseph and Katherine Jackson. Born 23 years ago in Gary, Ind., under the sign of Virgo, whose trait is unselfishness, the handsome singer’s onstage magnetism and magic are mesmerized only by his offstage majesty and meekheartedness. He got started being the best at age 13 when his first solo album, Got To Be There, become a best-seller and he was named “Male Vocalist Of The Year.” Of all his honors, his Off The Wall album set new precedents in the record industry. It sold more than 5 million copies in the US and Michael become the first solo recording artist in history to place four singles (Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough, Rock With You, Off The Wall and She’s Out Of My Life) from the same album in the top 10 of the nation’s leading record charts.
