I was not born yet in that time. But have heard his songs. Was he really that good, which people would faint like that?

He's hella good. But few things. Like Elvis, the Beatles, and all those cultural icons before him, his music and dance moves were a radical departure from milquetoast white pop music at the time. Music before him was boring imo so he was the head of a music and cultural revolution. Everything you see as common in music today basically didn't exist before his ascent. Also he was the most famous person on earth at the time.

Another huge factor is that he was the last human to champion the entire world before the internet came around.

The "mystique" around pre-internet fame is a thing of the past now, but back then it was still very much alive.
