A kaleidoscopic journey into the life, legacy, and impact of controversial pop icon Michael JacksonBefore 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 a black artist 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 compelling articles on the enigmatic icon. Featuring twenty-two original pieces, Michael Jackson and the Reinvention of Pop explores a wide range of subject matter, including: behind-the-scenes accounts of Jackson in the studio; the artist's thwarted attempts to break into Hollywood; the sexual abuse allegations that plagued him in both life and death; his misunderstood rivalry with Prince; and his reconception of what a pop album could be.
