Based on the command above I chose a descriptive text about biografi famous person, hopefully by reading this it will increase your knowledge.
MICHAEL JACKSON
Michael Jackson began his music career alongside his fellow
brothers and family members in the Jackson Five. His career began in 1964, aged
only six. The group, led by Jackson’s father, worked hard touring many clubs
and bars performing their mix of Motown hits. They gained the attention of
record labels and in 1968 signed with Motown records. It was the youngest,
baby-faced Jackson, that caught the eye of reviewers. Rolling Stone magazine
wrote that Michael was a ‘prodigy’ with ‘overwhelming musical gifts’. Michael
stood out for his exceptional enthusiasm and soft, infectious musical voice.
The group produced four number one hit singles, including “I Want You Back“,
ABC and “the Lover You Save.” Despite achieving his goal to be a music
performer, Michael’s childhood was far from happy. He was regularly beaten and
threatened by his authoritarian father. This legacy of abuse left Michael
scarred throughout his adult life.
Michael Jackson By the late 1970s, Michael was increasingly
looking to pursue a solo career. With the help of music producer, Quincy Jones,
Michael produced the solo album ‘Off The Wall‘. The album was a great success,
eventually selling over 20 million copies. The album gained much critical
acclaim, and Michael secured the highest royalty rate in the music industry.
(37% of album profit). His second solo album, Thriller, launched Michael
Jackson into a position as the most famous pop singer in the world. With little
commercial advertising and promotion, Thriller rose to number one on album
sales and remained at the number one spot for a total of 37 weeks. It gained
one of many Guinness World Records for Michael Jackson, attaining 110 million
global sales and 29 million sales in the US. Thriller included number one hits
such as Beat It, Billie Jean.
In March 1983, Michael Jackson performed live on Motown 25,
‘Yesterday, today, forever’, – a TV special. He performed his distinctive and
memorable dance move – the Moonwalk. In the dance routine, he effortlessly
moves backwards with seemingly keeping one leg perfectly straight. His
performance made him a global icon of not just music, but dance. Michael
Jackson pioneered the importance of music video in promoting a pop artist. This
iconic performance has been compared to the famous Beatles’ appearance on the
Ed Sullivan Show in 1964. Michael_JacksonJackson’s next albums were Bad (1987)
and Dangerous (1991). His final album was Invincible (2001).
By the late 80s, there was an increasing number of stories
speculating on Jackson’s personal life, health and physical appearance. Michael
Jackson underwent numerous operations of plastic surgery to fix his nose and
add a dimple in his chin. During the 1980s, his skin started to lighten; this
was due to a rare skin pigment disease, but it didn’t stop a wave of
speculative press stories that he was bleaching his skin colour. The press
covered a range of speculative stories about Michael Jackson, including
imaginary stories Michael had invented himself (such as sleeping in an oxygen
tent to avoid the ageing process)

NICHOLA TESLA
Nikola Tesla was born in Croatia and grew up in a family of Orthodox priests. Initially, his father encouraged Tesla to become a priest, but he preferred science. Nikola Tesla graduated from the University of Prague. In the 1870s, he moved to Budapest and worked for a telephone company. In this city, Nikola Tesla found the idea to make an electric motor. At the age of 28, he decided to leave Europe and move to the United States (US). Nikola Tesla worked at a company owned by Thomas Edison. Precisely in 1884, he officially worked in Edison's office engaged in the DC electricity industry.
These two scientists immediately went to work developing many innovations. These innovations are mostly Edison's inventions. Unfortunately, their cooperation did not last long. Due to differences of opinion, Nikola Tesla decided to stop working with Edison. The business-focused Edison didn't match Tesla's mindset. In 1885, Nikola Tesla began to make his own discoveries.
In 1887 and 1888, he produced more than 30 patents for his inventions. Nikola Tesla contributed many discoveries that are useful to this day. His findings include: AC systems on electric current Remote control radio Electric motors High voltage transformers Despite his many inventions, Nikola Tesla was not immediately respected. In fact, he is often considered crazy because his invention ideas are considered strange. In 1895, Nikola Tesla's laboratory burned down. Many records of his inventions were also burned. After the fire, Nikola Tesla continued to have misfortune.
In 1917, he declared bankruptcy. Nikola Tesla spent the rest
of his life working on new inventions. Launching History, his obsession with
the number 3 made Tesla considered to have a mental disorder. Nikola Tesla's final
days were spent feeding the pigeons. Due to the interference he had, Tesla even
claimed he could communicate with pigeons. Nikola Tesla died in a hotel room in
New York on January 7, 1943. He died at the age of 86 years.
