In 1958 three gifted children were born in two diffrent families. Michael Joe Jackson was born in August 29 in Gary, Indiana to Kathrine and Joe Jackson in a family of now nine children. Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone was born in Bay city, Michigan to Silvio Anthony Ciccone and her mother Madonna Ciccone. Madonna was the third child of the Ciccone family however they had another child her name was Diana Crystal Ciccone she was born in the same year as Madonna but in August 29. their mother died when they were six which torn the family apart, and they were sent to live with some close relatives when the family got finnaly reunited, their father started a relationship with Joan Gustafson, the family's old housekeeper, and the children were told to call Gustafson "mother" something that both Madonna and Diana refused to do. As the eldest daughter, Madonna was found with a lot of responsibility in taking care of the younger children and was kept busy with her homework and chores. The whole family was keen on music and all her brothers and sisters played musical instruments except Madonna was taking dancing lessons and since Diana looked at her like a role model she did the same. As youngsters Madonna and Diana were sent to several Catholic schools including Saint Andrew's and Academie Du sacre Coeur. She found it very oppressive and it wasn't long before Madonna showed a rebellious streak, doing everything she was not supposed to even if it meant getting her into trouble. Diana followed her lead sometimes but she would mostly think about how much trouble were they gonna get.... Introducing Michael Jackson. Michael was a very talented boy his mother Kathrine use to mention it to Joe but he did'nt pay attention until he heard Michael sing.
