This collection is an exhaustive three-disc exploration of the greatest hits released by Michael Jackson and his familyband while they were on the Motown label. While factoring in such hits as 'ABC', 'I Want You Back' and 'Rockin' Robin' (one of the most famous appearances of an adolescent MichaelJackson's blistering lead vocals), this release also delvesdeeper and lets audiences see a more mature side to Michaeland his brothers. Though never overly serious, songs like 'Lookin' Through The Windows' and 'Goin' Back To Indiana' show that the group were musically very adept and a consummately professional act.

I have read a lot of Michael Jackson biographies since his death, some of which were re-hashes of things others had already published. This one is quite different and I was very pleased with it. This book covers the 1970s and early 1980s, up to approximately the time of Thriller. There is a lot of information here about Michael's early days that I hadn't read before. It is mainly culled from magazine interviews and articles -- so if you happen to have read all those early-days articles, you may not get as much from this as I did. But if you're more familiar with Michael since Thriller onward, you'd probably really enjoy this book for a glimpse into the early Michael.

With many beautiful images about Michael, this book's really wonderful. Upon viewing them, i've been sensational.
