Your American Icon:

Michael Jackson

Location:

USA (deceased)

Why is this work an American Icon?:

Seriously? What is there to say? I cannot think of another American singer/songwriter/performer who is as widely known and who has left such an indelible impression on generation after generation of fans and who was responsible for creating so many firsts and breaking so many barriers.

First name:

Nellie
