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.
