Items related to Man In the Music
Available for the first time in paperback: cultural critic Joseph Vogel's smart, insightful, and moving exploration of the solo works of Michael Jackson--a wonderful gift to fans on the tenth anniversary of his death. When news broke of Michael Jackson's death on June 25, 2009, the world mourned his death by celebrating his work--some of the most joyful and cherished songs of our era. Of course, even outside of his music, Jackson's life was notable--by turns enviable and eccentric, always fascinating and relentlessly public. Much attention has been paid to his life as media fodder, but rarely do writers give his recordings given their proper critical due. In Man in the Music, Joseph Vogel expertly guides us through the works of the King of Pop, album by album, from "Thriller" to "Bad" and beyond, leading us on a tour of inside scoops, trivia, interviews, cameos, setbacks and breakthroughs, failures and triumphs, that is as much fun as the songs themselves.

Review:
"Joseph Vogel has brilliantly cracked the DNA, the code of the work, the artistry of Michael Joseph Jackson. . . . A pointed, intelligent dissection of an epic body of work." --Spike Lee "The only comprehensive and critical rundown of Jackson's solo material."--Rolling Stone "The definitive book on Michael Jackson." --Michael Eric Dyson, author of Tears We Cannot Stop "A must-have for any Jackson fan. . . . A fascinating read. . . . Each song Jackson recorded during his solo career is examined with a critical eye." --Associated Press "Don't be surprised if it makes you go back and listen . . . with a whole new outlook on the King of Pop."--Zack O'Malley Greenburg, author of Michael Jackson, Inc. "This is the kind of book about Michael Jackson's music, artistry, and creativity that really needed to be written--and Joseph Vogel has done it and done it very well. I am absolutely floored by Joe's in-depth research and perceptive insight into what made Michael the one-of-a-kind, recording-breaking King of Pop. And--amazingly enough--even I learned a lot!"--J. Randy Taraborrelli, author of Michael Jackson: The Magic and the Madness "[Man in the Music] celebrates Michael's songs and artistry in a wonderful journey through his music." --Jermaine Jackson

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. When news broke of Michael Jackson's death on June 25, 2009, the world mourned his death by celebrating his work--some of the most joyful and cherished songs of our era. Of course, even outside of his music, Jackson's life was notable--by turns enviable and eccentric, always fascinating and relentlessly public. Much attention has been paid to his life as media fodder, but rarely do writers give his recordings given their proper critical due. In Man in the Music, Joseph Vogel expertly guides us through the works of the King of Pop, album by album, from "Thriller" to "Bad" and beyond, leading us on a tour of inside scoops, trivia, interviews, cameos, setbacks and breakthroughs, failures and triumphs, that is as much fun as the songs themselves.For half a century, Michael Jackson's music has been an indelible part of our cultural consciousness. Landmark albums such as Off the Wall and Thriller shattered records, broke racial barriers, amassed awards, and set a new standard for popular music. While his songs continue to be played in nearly every corner of the world, however, they have rarely been given serious critical attention. The first book dedicated solely to exploring his creative work, Man in the Music guides us through an unparalleled analysis of Jackson's recordings, album by album, from his trailblazing work with Quincy Jones to his later collaborations with Teddy Riley, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, and Rodney Jerkins. Drawing on rare archival material and on dozens of original interviews with the collaborators, engineers, producers, and songwriters who helped bring the artist's music into the world, Jackson expert and acclaimed cultural critic Joseph Vogel reveals the inspirations, demos, studio sessions, technological advances, setbacks and breakthroughs, failures and triumphs, that gave rise to an immortal body of work.
