In principle, there can be no unequivocal answer to this question. The fact is that in different eras, different people were popular. At one time they were Vladimir Vysotsky and Viktor Tsoi, at another - Napoleon, at the third - Peter the Great. However, not only these outstanding figures were at the zenith of fame.
Who is the most popular person in the world at all times?
As mentioned above, each era honors a certain person, but sometimes there are exceptions: some people pass through the years, centuries, eras with some kind of invisible thread. Such personalities, of course, include Michael Jackson. This man showed the world an amazing range and depth of his own voice, combined with unthinkable virtuosity and plastic choreography.
Michael Jackson came from an African American working class family. After Jackson and his brothers moved to Los Angeles, he began working on music and choreography with a professional manager. As they say, the well-deserved fame was not long in coming: after a few months, Michael Jackson began giving record concert tours around the world, collecting full houses in the audience halls!
Unfortunately, Michael Jackson did not live up to the present time, but many people remember him as a person capable of an incredible and impressive ability to convey very complex and deep emotions to a large audience!
