Book Description

Publication Date: 1 Jan 1993
"Michael Jackson: The King of Pop" follows the path of the amazing of Michael Jackson from his beginning as lead singer of the Jackson 5 to becoming the undisputed King of Pop. Being helped, encouraged, and at times forced and abused by their father, the Jacksons became The Jackson 5 and went on to enjoy phenomenal success at Motown Records. They became the first artists ever to have their first four singles all become number one hits.

"Michael Jackson: The King of Pop" contains all of the record setting feats accomplished by this shy yet extraordinarily gifted singer and dancer. Since moving from Motown to CBS Records, Michael Jackson has recorded one record setting album after another. His first solo album for CBS Records was "Off The Wall," which became the first album ever to yield four top ten hit singles. Its follow up, "Thriller," became the biggest selling album in music history, yielding seven top ten hits. "Bad" went to number one in a record breaking 25 countries and has surpassed all other albums in sales with the exception of one, "Thriller." "Dangerous" when first released sold faster than "Bad" in its first few months of release, and more incredibly, it also surpassed the initial sales of "Thriller."

"Michael Jackson: The King of Pop" describes in detail how Michael Jackson went from singing with his older brothers in their cramped living room in Gary, Indiana to become the greatest entertainer of the world, The King of Pop.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book 16 Feb 2013
By Ms. K. J. Champion
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have been wanting this book for such a long time but the prices was always too steep for me and I didn't think it justified it to be honest. I then came across this one and it just yelled out to me to buy it and at a much lower price. I can't comment on the book itself as I haven't read it yet but it did arrive in excellent quality and in good time.

4.0 out of 5 stars read this after the MJ: Magic & Madness 31 July 2009
By ALAL - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
After MJ's death, I borrowed this book from the library and is impressed by its red cover with a drawing of MJ, which is unique among the many MJ books.

MJ: the Magic & Madness, another MJ biography is, to me, trying to be objective. This book, however, is probably an authorised version of biography. The author is always defending for MJ. In a certain year, for example, Mcdonna earned more than MJ and the author gave a long explanation on this. The wording and tone of the lines were always on the side of MJ. So don't let this be your first book on MJ or you cannot decide which is right and wrong. Having said that I notice there are a few points in it where the author was pointing out the dark side of the King, and these points were used, if not copied, in the book : MJ - Magic & Madness. For example, when a reporter from Times visited his home and was accidentally led by Joe Jackson to MJ's room without prior notice, MJ was found with a man/boy, watching TV.

However biased, I recommend fans to read this. There is not much ups and downs, but you will remain very calm when you read the book. During the period covered by the book it was MJ's peak! You will find MJ receiving endless awards and honours throughout the pages, and with details of his speeches, jokes in the moment of MJ getting the awards. And in the web you can watch these magic moments. How interesting it is to watch all the ceremony scenes in the web with this book.

And there is also a very detailed depiction of the performance for the Bad tour. The font is big. The book is not heavy. I like this book and recommend you to read it.
5.0 out of 5 stars Loved this book! 29 Oct 2012
By September - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Loved this book. Love Lisa Campbell. She wrote this book during the 80s (her second one during the Chandler mess) so there is a lot of detail that you don't get when you read books that cover MJ's whole life. She's a fan and her insights are fascinating. It is enjoyable and a relief to read a book that is factual and also positive about Michael without being afraid that at some point, the shoe is going to drop. I tried to locate her after reading both of her books (the last information I cld find, she was in MI) but was unsuccessful. I wanted to thank her. Her research was impeccable and her loyalty to MJ was a joy.
