Editorial Review:
The 2CD The Essential Michael Jackson takes you on a journey from budding star, to iconic legend and allows you to immerse yourself in the musical and emotional development of each track defining the story of a global superstar.

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 "Rockin' 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."

The Essential Michael Jackson Reviews:
He was truly the King of Pop
2009-12-12 - There is no doubt that he was truly the King of Pop. This is a great affordable CD set of his music. I usually buy my music by song on iTunes or Amazon's MP3 site, but with so many great songs, buying the entire album as a CD and then importing it from my Mac to my iPods was the most affordable and highest quality option.

It may not have every song that he sung, but it does have most of his best and for the price, it cannot be beat.

super
2009-12-08 - all the songs are there (i think)...so a good compilation!
The sound quality may be a bit off.....sound blown up especially in the older songs....
I am happy i added this to my music library (on cd)!!!

2009-12-05 - This double cd pack included many of the older songs that I love by M.J. You get a pretty good selection of his songs for a very reasonable price.
