Michael Jackson

August 29

Michael Joseph Jackson (born August 29, 1958), is an American musician, entertainer, and pop icon whose successful career and controversial personal life have been a part of pop culture for almost 40 years.[1]
Michael Jackson is widely regarded as one of the greatest entertainers and most popular recording artists in history, displaying complicated physical techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk, that have redefined mainstream dance and entertainment.[2] His achievements in the music industry have included a revolutionary transformation of music videos,[3] establishing high-profile album releases and sales as a new trend for record companies to generate profits,[4] dominating pop music during the 1980s,[5] and becoming the first black entertainer to amass a strong following on MTV while leading the relatively young channel out of obscurity.[6] His distinctive style, moves, and vocals have inspired, influenced, and spawned a whole generation of hip hop, pop, and R&B artists. He has been symbolically named the "Most Successful Entertainer of All Time" by Guinness World Records

Nice blog. I wish that you add birthdays of more prominent telugus, apart from cinestars, especially the ones the present generation doesn't know about.
