'At last a book covering
Michael Jackson's early days, both as a solo artist and
as the lead singer of The Jackson 5. Not only are
Jackson's many recordings
with Motown covered, but there is also fascinating
account of his humble beginnings
from Gary, Indiana to Steeltown Records, where his first
ever recordings were produced.
Rounding the main chapters off is a section on The
Jacksons, who
enjoyed success themselves after leaving Motown in 1975.
'Written in
an entertaining format, each album is taken individually
with an appropriate
essay of the period, covering facts, single releases and
chart information. All this with
additional material on unreleased recordings, a
comprehensive discography, c
hartography, videography and an exclusive Jackson poll.
'The last
decade or so has seen the media concentrate more on
Jackson's eccentricities than
his prolific singer/songwriter credits. One glance at
Michael Jackson The Early Years reminds
everyone that Jackson's career spans a lot further than
Off The Wall and Thriller, and if anything
puts him up there with all of the universally recognised
greats such as Elvis Presley and The Beatles.
Any fan of Jackson or of popular music, interested in
what makes a legend, should look no further than this
book,
as it covers the backbone of an industrious career.'
