Michael Jackson (1958–2009) was an American recording artist. He debuted on the professional music scene at the age of 5, as a member of The Jackson 5, and began a solo career in 1971 while still a member of the group in subsequent years. Referred to as the "King of Pop",[1] Michael Jackson is considered to be one of the greatest entertainers of all time and one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.[2]
Jackson's career was rewarded with 13 Grammy Awards, as well as the Grammy Legend Award and Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award; 6 Brit Awards, 5 Billboard Music Awards and 24 American Music Awards. He currently holds 20 Guinness World Records. The organization also recognized Jackson as the world’s most successful entertainer in 2006.[3][4] He's a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, becoming one of only a few artists to be inducted twice (he was inducted in 1997 as a member of The Jackson 5 and again as a solo artist in 2001). Jackson was also inducted into the National Museum of Dance and Hall of Fame, making him the first and currently, only recording artist to be inducted.[5] He was also inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.[6] Jackson was also inducted in 2014 into the Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame along with his father Joe Jackson.[7]
In 1984, Jackson was approached to donate "Beat It" as backing music for a commercial on drunk driving.[8] Jackson agreed and it was arranged for the singer to be awarded with an honor from the President of the United States, Ronald Reagan.[8] In April 1990, Jackson returned to the White House to be recognized as "Artist of the Decade" by President George H. W. Bush.[9] Two years later, on May 1, 1992, President Bush presented Jackson with an award acknowledging him as "a point of light ambassador".[9][10] Jackson received the award in recognition for his efforts in inviting disadvantaged children to his Neverland Ranch.[10] Jackson was the only entertainer to receive the award.[10] He has two Primetime Emmy Award nominations in 1983 and 1990.[11]

The Soul Train Music Awards is an annual award show aired in national television syndication that honors the best in Black music and entertainment. It is produced by the makers of Soul Train, the program from which it takes its name, and features musical performances by various R&B and hip hop music recording artists interspersed throughout the ceremonies.
Jackson won six competitive trophies and was honored with four special awards, including the Sammy Davis Jr. Award for Entertainer of the Year and the Heritage Award for Career Achievement at the 1989 ceremony. In 1995, the awards show inducted him into their Hall of Fame.[23] In 1997, the video award was renamed the "Michael Jackson Award for Best R&B/Soul or Rap Music Video" until 2004 where it was renamed in honor of Berry Gordy until the category was removed before the 2008 show. Since 2011, it's been presented as simply "Video of the Year".
On November 2, 1995, Jackson was one of several performers to take part in The Soul Train 25th Anniversary Hall of Fame Special, alongside Whitney Houston, Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder, MC Hammer, Patti LaBelle and Bill Withers. Jackson performed "Dangerous" and "You Are Not Alone" during that telecast. It was Jackson's second televised performance that year less than two months after he performed at the MTV Video Music Awards that year. Jackson was one of several inductees alongside Ross, Houston, LaBelle, Withers, Barry White, Curtis Mayfield and Marvin Gaye.
Jackson is only one of two artists to win the Sammy Davis Jr. Entertainer of the Year honor twice, first in 1989 and then in 2009 following his death that year. Beyoncé won it twice, one as member of Destiny's Child and later as a solo artist. After Jackson won the posthumous honor, which was accepted by his surviving brother Jermaine, however, the award was discontinued.
