In the early 1980s, he became a dominant figure in Pop Music and the1st African American entertainer to amass a strong crossover following on MTV. The popularity of his music video airing on MTV, such as "Beat It", "Billie Jean" and Thriller—credited for transforming the music video into an art form and a promotional tool—helped bring the relatively new channel to fame.

Jackson's highly publicized personal life, coupled with his successful career, made him a part of popular culture for almost four decades. He died unexpectedly on June 25, 2009, aged 50, of a suspected heart attack or cardiac arrest. The specific cause of death is yet to be determined.
