‘I’ve never seen anybody like Michael. He is an emotional star child.’
Оглавление—Steven Spielberg
Was Michael destined for his success? His talents shone so brightly from such an early age that it was perhaps inevitable that they would someday be recognized. However, few artists before or since have been shepherded so forcefully towards the stage, with music becoming an all-consuming focus of their life. It is impossible to understand Michael Jackson the man without first understanding Michael Jackson the boy, as the boy played such a strong role in the life of the man.
In this tribute to Michael Jackson the legend, we take an overview of his career, his humble background and difficult childhood, his meteoric rise to fame with The Jackson 5 and his even more vertiginous ascent to global recognition as a solo artist. We’ll see records broken and hearts broken in the story of a life that was like no other…
