Editorial Review:
The 2CD The Essential Michael Jackson takes you on a journey from budding star, to iconic legend and allows you to immerse yourself in the musical and emotional development of each track defining the story of a global superstar.
Michael Jackson needs no introduction, as part of the Jackson 5 he helped make up a remarkable musical family and one of the biggest pop phenomenons of the early 70s. The Jacksons' infectious brand of funky soul and now iconic stage presence reached out globally and made them and Michael international stars.
As the success of the band grew, Michael branched out with his own solo career first launching with "Got to be There" and then "Rockin' Robin". The momentum started to grow with the release of more successful singles and, as the hype surrounding the Jackson 5 slowed down towards the late 70s, Michael continued to develop and grow as an artist. With the release of Off the Wall, an immaculately crafted set of funky disco-pop, smooth soul, and lush, sentimental pop ballads, Michael cemented his place as a global star. The 1980s were a career-defining period with his instantly identifiable voice, eye-popping dance moves, stunning musical versatility, and loads of sheer star power Michael Jackson was unstoppable. The 1982 album Thriller became the biggest selling album of all time and combined his musical genius with an exceptional and ahead of its time music video epic. Bad (1987) was released with enormous public anticipation and spawned another succession of hit singles with "The Way You Make Me Feel" and "Man in the Mirror."

Rating: - Looks Great ....
but looks can be deceiving. I suppose it's understandable that devoted fans of Michael Jackson would automatically assign 5 stars to a release with two discs from Epic/Legacy (Sony) containing 38 tracks and, admittedly, one of the better pictures of him taken before things started to droop.
And, certainly, it delivers quite a package in terms of his biggest hits as a solo artist. However, in view of the fact he had close to 50 of those, why did they feel it necessary to include seven ... Read More
Rating:  - Blame it on the boogie
This cd was the bomb and i love both disks! Even the one with the group on it. "Blame it on the Boogie" is my number one song. I love to dance and i get down on that song. Great condition..I love it and thanks again.
Rating: - Michael Jackson CD
This is an excellant product for those of us who grew up with Michael Jackson. The selections take you from his years with Jackson 5 up until the present.
Rating: - If you grew up in the 80's this CD is for YOU...
I'm one of the great '69 babies. I purchased this c.d. last year and gave it to a friend of mine who lives on the west coast before I had even listened to the second disc, and before I had a chance to load it on my Itunes. This c.d. is priceless. I procrastinated and life got hectic, as it does sometimes. But I was driving to work last week and all of a sudden "Can You Feel It?" popped into my head! I remember when my brothers and sisters came home from The Jacksons concert. They couldn't stop ... Read More
Rating: - Even Better Than "The Ultimate Collection"
When I first saw this CD, I just rolled my eyes and thought how sad it was that ANOTHER Michael Jackson greatest hits album was made. I mean, wasn't HIStory, Number Ones, and The Ultimate Collection enough?
However, two years after that, I was convinced to buy this CD and I was blown away! All those previous greatest hits albums that I mentioned are fine, but failed to include some of my favorite songs that are (in my opinion) better than a lot of the songs that made it into the Top ... Read More
