He is considered as one of the twentieth century's most prominent cultural personalities, having been dubbed the "King of Pop." His contributions to music, dance, and fashion, as well as his publicized personal life, established him a global icon in popular culture across a four-decade career. Jackson impacted musicians from a variety of musical genres; through stage and film performances, he popularized complex dance techniques like the moonwalk, which he named, and the robot. He is the most decorated individual musician in history.

Michael Jackson is unquestionably one of, if not the, greatest singers of all time. He, like others, was dubbed the "King of Pop." He is one of the most important cultural figures and the greatest entertainer in music history. Even attempting to discuss all of his honors would be futile. They even expand into the field of dancing. He truly is the king. Jackson cited James Brown as an inspiration, as well as Diana Ross, from whom he learnt to incorporate noises such as "ooh" into his singing. He began as a soprano, progressed to tenor, and finally landed on the upper falsetto register.
