Partly by chance, partly by design-is there anyone else who so wanted to be different?-there was never a life like Michael Jackson's. Preposterously talented, fronting the Jackson 5 from early childhood, he captivated kids, and more than a few grown-ups, with fancy footwork, effortless high C's and charisma to burn.
And that was only prelude. Thriller launched Jackson into a new level of celebrity stratosphere - more media, more attention, more intensity - that even Elvis or the Beatles had never experienced. How he dealt with that fame - how he used it, and how it, arguably, overwhelmed him - became, in later years, the heart of the Michael Jackson story.
Remembering Michael looks back at the triumphs, and struggles, of a life like no other.

October 24, 2009: I knew that you would do a great job, as you did with Princess Diane Tribute. I purchased both your hardback and also the hardback Michael Jackson from Life. Both are different and well done. Thanks! You forget too quickly how some effect our lives with great entertainment and music. Michael definitely broke down some barriers.
