Michael Jackson And The Reinvention Of Pop

Before Michael Jackson, white rock dominated radio, MTV and print media, black artists were relegated to second-class categories, and "pop" was a euphemism for "bubblegum" fluff. After Michael Jackson, pop became the umbrella term for all of popular music - and the artist made sure he was coronated its king. In this new collection, critically-acclaimed author Joseph Vogel (Man in the Music: The Creative Life and Work of Michael Jackson) gathers together some of his most provocative and challenging work on the enigmatic icon. Featuring twenty original pieces, this fascinating mosaic explores a wide range of subject matter: from behind-the-scenes histories of Jackson's songs, to his cinematic ambitions, to his rivalry with Prince, to the ways in which he expanded the possibilities of pop.
