Michael Jackson: King of Pop
One of the main reasons why Michael Jackson became my favourite singer is his lifelong devotion to his music. At an early age, Michael recorded his first music album with his family band called the Jackson 5. That was in the 1960s and it was just the beginning for the “King of Pop”.At the age of thirteen, he began his journey to becoming a world-famous solo artist with a career of almost forty years.
As Michael developed over the years as a person, so did his music. He covered a wide range of music types and gained generations of fans.His stylish dance moves and unconventional fashion sense also influenced his music and fans greatly.

cover翻唱(原来由另一乐队或歌手演唱的歌曲)
dance moves/steps舞步

Those who grew up with his music, like my parents, were overjoyed whenever his next album was released, because they knew it would set the next trend.His most successful album, Thriller, was released in 1982 and worldwide, is still the bestselling album of all time.
set树立;创立;开创,=start
You seem to have set (= started) a new trend .

It includes the popular songs “Billie Jean”, “Beat It” and of course “Thriller”. Besides his entertaining songs, I like Michael Jackson because his music and style are genuinely original and timeless.

genuinely ['dʒenjʊɪnlɪ]真地;名副其实地;真诚地

I remember the first time I heard his music. I was six years old and playing in my room when I heard the first drum beats of “Beat It”. I ran into the living room and heard my parents singing at the top of their voices, and they were doing a strange dance: the moonwalk.
drum beat/ˈdrʌmˌbiːt/ 击鼓声;警示; 持续的压力
moonwalk /ˈmuːnwɔːk/ (舞蹈时)走太空步;作月球行走
I still recall feeling amazed and delighted when I heard Jackson’s one-of-a-kind voice: the pleasant tone and catchy signature sounds he is famous for. Singing and dancing to Michael’s songs became a fun family tradition.Ever since then, if I am feeling lonely or upset, his music has come to my rescue and turned my frown upside down. That is the power of the King of Pop.
