The Essential Michael Jackson

Description

The 2CD The Essential Michael Jackson takes you on a journey from budding
star, to iconic legend and allows you to immerse yourself in the musical and
emotional development of each track defining the story of a global superstar.
Michael Jackson needs no introduction, as part of the Jackson 5 he helped make
up a remarkable musical family and one of the biggest pop phenomenons of the
early 70s. The Jacksons’ infectious brand of funky soul and now iconic stage
presence reached out globally and made them and Michael international stars.
As the success of the band grew, Michael branched out with his own solo career
first launching with “Got to be There” and then “Rockin’ Robin”. The momentum
started to grow with the release of more successful singles and, as the hype
surrounding the Jackson 5 slowed down towards the late 70s, Michael continued
to develop and grow as an artist. With the release of Off the Wall, an
immaculately crafted set of funky disco-pop, smooth soul, and lush,
sentimental pop ballads, Michael cemented his place as a global star. The
1980s were a career-defining period with his instantly identifiable voice,
eye-popping dance moves, stunning musical versatility, and loads of sheer star
power Michael Jackson was unstoppable. The 1982 album Thriller became the
biggest selling album of all time and combined his musical genius with an
exceptional and ahead of its time music video epic. Bad (1987) was released
with enormous public anticipation and spawned another succession of hit
singles with “The Way You Make Me Feel” and “Man in the Mirror.” Read more
