MJ admits he still looks back fondly at his trailblazing career, counting the recording of Thriller and the Off the Wall album as his happiest times.

Happy 50th Birthday, Michael Jackson!

Pop star Madonna also celebrated her 50th birthday on August 16, 2008. Madonna has been rocking and reinventing pop music, the music industry and fashion for several decades now. While her 1984 No. 1 album, Like a Virgin, brought her international acclaim, the 1989 critical and commercial hit, Like a Prayer, solidified her global domination.
