Man In The Music: The Creative Life And Work Of Michael Jackson (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
Finalmente un libro che rende giustizia all'immensa arte di Michael Jackson, trattando gli aspetti della sua vita privata solo nella misura in cui influenzano la sua musica e la sua carriera. L'origine e il significato delle canzoni, dei testi e delle musiche, le curiosità riguardo il processo creativo e il backstage, raccolte attraverso le testimonianze di chi le viveva con lui, offrono una visione completa e nuova del genio all'opera. This is an excellent reference work on the origins, recording, re-recording, production and release of Michael Jackson's songs. Joseph Vogel takes an in depth look at each of the artist's albums and the tracks featured, plus those on special editions and compilations which appeared no where else.Illustrated with photographs reflective of each stage of MJ's incredible 4 decades-long career we read of when he first conceived of a song and the work he and his collaborators put in to fine tuning it until he deemed it ready for the world to hear - often years after it was first written or committed to tape.This is a serious, scholarly book which is also thoroughly readable and a MUST for any Michael Jackson fan. The narrative that introduces each stage of his career provides biographical information that helps the reader appreciate the decisions Michael made with respect to his creative output, but manages to avoid most of the sensationalism exhibited by the mass media and the tabloids.In the end we are once again left mourning Michael's untimely demise, and wondering what unreleased treasures still lie waiting to be heard and appreciated by his global audience of devoted fans.
