Home Entertainment Trade Paperback, 96 pages MICHAEL JACKSON By Stewart Regan 1984 Greenwich House Hardcover & Dust Jacket, 64 pages MUSIC ICONS - MICHAEL JACKSON: A star from the age of 11, Michael Jackson s unrivalled success spanned five decades beginning with his brothers in the Jackson 5 in 1968, through a solo Motown career as a teen-idol in the early 70s (when he concurrently fronted the maturing Jacksons), and as a remarketed pop genius from the 1980s on. While the success of Thriller, the best-selling album in history, would not have been possible without production maestro Quincy Jones, Jackson s combined abilities as a supreme vocalist, dance provocateur, music video pioneer, songwriter and live performer simply know no equal. As an entertainer he was, above all, a perfectionist. As a human being he was, above all, an imperfectionist - unable and unwilling to live a normal life. Perhaps more than any other icon, Jackson s music magically transcended race, geography, sex, genre, age and color - a remarkable achievement for a shy, troubled boy who never grew up. While his untimely death in June 2009 shook the world, it is Jackson s musical legacy which will rock the world for generations to come. In this book, the equal triumph and tragedy of his extraordinary journey is objectively revealed through a unique visual and narrative chronology. THIS BOOK IS EX-LIBRARY WITH MARKINGS. UNMASKED: THE FINAL YEARS OF MICHAEL JACKSON: In late December 2008, Ian Halperin told the world that Michael Jackson had only six months to live. His investigations into Jackson's failing health made headlines around the globe. Six months later, the King of Pop was dead. Whatever the final autopsy results reveal, it was greed that killed Michael Jackson. Friends and associates paint a tragic picture of the last years and days of his life as Jackson made desperate attempts to prepare for the planned concert series at London's 02 Arena in July 2009. These shows would have earned millions for the singer and his entourage, but he could never have completed them, not mentally, and not physically. Michael knew it and his advisors knew it. Anyone who caught even a fleeting glimpse of the frail old man hiding beneath the costumes and cosmetics would have understood that the London tour was madness. Why did it happen this way? After an intense five year investigation, New York Times bestselling author Ian Halperin uncovers the real story of Michael Jackson's final years, a suspenseful and surprising thriller. THIS BOOK IS EX-LIBRARY WITH MARKINGS. PEOPLE TRIBUTE - REMEMBERING MICHAEL: Partly by chance, partly by design-is there anyone else who so wanted to be different?-there was never a life like Michael Jackson's. Preposterously talented, fronting the Jackson 5 from early childhood, he captivated kids, and more than a few grown-ups, with fancy footwork, effortless high C's and charisma to burn. And that was only prelude. Thriller launched Jackson into a new level of celebrity stratosphere - more media, more attention, more intensity - that even Elvis or the Beatles had never experienced. How he dealt with that fame - how he used it, and how it, arguably, overwhelmed him - became, in later years, the heart of the Michael Jackson story. Remembering Michael looks back at the triumphs, and struggles, of a life like no other. MICHAEL JACKSON: Photographs of Michael Jackson, offstage and on, are accompanied by a brief description of his rise to a world-renowned recording star. THIS BOOK HAS AN INSCRIPTION IN PEN ON THE FIRST ENDPAPER. These books are loaded with photos of MJ, friends, relatives, related music inductry people, etc. but you will have to buy the lot to see them. A real treat for fans of the "King of Pop". Condition is Good to Very Good, but keep in mind the first two in this lot are ex-library with markings.
