Michael Jackson

Michael Joseph Jackson was an American actor, singer-songwriter, musician, composer, arranger, dancer, choreographer, record producer, and businessman, who was also referred as the "King of Pop" or by his initials "MJ".
For Disney, he played Captain EO in the 3D film of the same name, which is an attraction at several Disney parks. After he died of cardiac arrest in 2009, Captain EO re-opened at the Disney parks as a tribute, using the name of Captain EO Tribute.
He also appeared in a few Disney TV specials, such as Disneyland's 25th Anniversary where he sang "When You Wish Upon a Star".
His song "" was featured as a brief music video in DTV Monster Hits, even though his mother didn't like it. Another song he performed with his brothers when he was younger, "I Want You Back", was featured in Guardians of the Galaxy. He was also an inspiration for Powerline in the 1995 film A Goofy Movie, as well as Dr. Facilier in the 2009 Disney animated feature film The Princess and the Frog. Additionally, he was mentioned on the Mickey's Dance Party album, in the Good Luck Charlie episode "Up a Tree", the A.N.T. Farm episodes: "detective agANTcy" and "influANTces" (with Darryl Parks dressing up as Michael in said episode), and the Austin & Ally episode "Presidents & Problems".
He named his home property "Neverland Ranch", inspired by Neverland from the 1953 Disney animated feature film Peter Pan. "Neverland Ranch" was quite a place in California, where fans alike could experience a good time.
Finally, it is rumored that he got an exact replica of the iconic Disneyland attraction, Pirates of the Caribbean installed in his house.

==Trivia==
*Jackson once expressed interest in purchasing the huge welcoming sign to the Anaheim Disneyland Resort from 1989 to 1999, but John Stamos of beat him to it and stored the massive blue and white lettering in the backyard of his California home which can be seen from satellite pictures. Not to be a sore loser, Michael Jackson called John Stamos on the phone to say "congratulations" for his big win.
