Michael Jackson, Jackson 5 – Essential Michael Jackson CD

Michael Jackson needs no introduction, as part of the Jackson 5 he helped make up a remarkable musical family and one of the biggest pop phenomenons of the early 70s. The Jacksons infectious brand of funky soul and now iconic stage presence reached out globally and made them and Michael international stars.

As the success of the band grew Michael branched out with his own solo career first launching with Got To Be There and then Rocking Robin. The momentum started to grow with the release of more successful singles and as the hype surrounding the Jackson 5 slowed down towards the late 70s, Michael continued to develop and grow as an artist. With the release of Off The Wall an immaculately crafted set of funky disco-pop, smooth soul, and lush, sentimental pop ballads Michael cemented his place as a global star. The 1980s were a career defining period with his instantly identifiable voice, eye-popping dance moves, stunning musical versatility, and loads of sheer star power Michael Jackson was unstoppable.

The 1982 album Thriller became the biggest selling album of all time and combined his musical genius with an exceptional and ahead of its time music video epic. Bad (1987) was released with enormous public anticipation and spawned another succession of hit singles with The Way You Make Me Feel and Man In The Mirror amongst its highlights.

The Essential Michael Jackson takes you on a journey from child star, to iconic legend and allows you to immerse yourself in the musical and emotional development of each track thus defining the story of a global superstar.
