By almost any statistical sysyem you care to devise, Michael Jackson - solo and with his brothers - is
far and away the most successful entertainer of the past three decades or more.

accurately, honestly and comprehensively as possible, by focussing on his music. The book includes
albums (with track listings), one-off singles and collaborations Michael has released in the USA
and/or UK since October 1971, when his first solo single Got To Be There was issued in the States.

The book also features a complete USA/UK chartography, top singles and albums,
USA and UK million sellers, awards, movies and short films, USA discography, UK discography,
and a fascinating listing of rarities from around the world.

from Motown and on, but it also has a list of every single he has released, songs unreleased
through the years from Michael, a complete list of rare, wanted gems, discography, chartography,
rare item pictures all through the book, all of Michael's amazing awards
and MUCH MORE!!!!!' Christina Chaffin/amazon.com

'This is the second part of a two book series, and if you are a Michael Jackson fan or just want to
read up on Michael, then look no further. There's loads of interesting reading here.
Collectors should not think twice about adding these books to there collection, I would
definitely recommend them. Well done to the authors in a world of tabloid trash and rubbish written
about Michael Jackson, here is a breath of fresh air that tells the story of what Michael is all about: MUSIC.
All I can say is If you don't buy them, your missing out.' Moo-Jay/amazon.co.uk

'First & foremost anybody who writes negatively on Michael Jackson obviously don't know much about Music.
He single handedly changed the course of Music twice. He ruled the last century period.
The greatest musical figure of last century period. I get so tired of folks trying to downplay this man's
musical legacy. Nobody can deny the lasting impact he made. He truly is one of a kind.
He owes nobody nothing. This book showcases all of his Motown through Epic Era material & does a
wonderful job. A lot of books want to eat off his name, but they don't acknowledge that he opened
the door for many. He could have retired after "off the wall & thriller" His Legacy would have been
enshrined for always. I mean Michael Jackson is the "M" of MTV & for the last century he was the "M" of Music.
Ain't too many artists that can boast or brag that they have done what this man has done musically.
3 plus Decades. If you came out after MJ then you are in debt to him musically period.
He changed the course of music in all styles & vibes period. Truly a one of a kind musical genius & force.
This is a Must Have Book.' mistermaxxx/amazon.com
