MICHAEL JACKSON
The Jackson 5
Forget the scandal-plagued recluse you know now. Think back to the little dynamo in this picture, the pop music prodigy who moved like James Brown and sang with astonishing authority on Ed Sullivan (especially belting out ''Who's Lovin' You''). For better or worse, by age 10 Michael was a consummate performer, more exciting to watch than artists with decades more experience — and all the while, he made it look easy as 1-2-3, simple as do-re-mi. —Dawnie Walton
