Featuring Michael Jackson: Collected Writings on the King of Pop

"Vogel's prodigious collection of essays -- Featuring Michael Jackson -- is both a poignant deconstruction and ardent retrofit of the greatest entertainer that ever lived. Vogel presents an honest and beautiful tableau-vivant of this Super-"Man In The Mirror" that will reflect in our collective consciousness for years to come." -Barry Michael Cooper, Award-winning journalist for the Village Voice and screenwriter for New Jack City

In this slim new collection, critically-acclaimed author and journalist Joseph Vogel (Man in the Music) gathers together some of his most informative and provocative pieces on the late King of Pop. Featuring ten articles and a previously unpublished bonus chapter, this fascinating mosaic explores a wide range of subject matter: from the impact of race on Jackson's career, to the ways he challenged and expanded the definition of "pop," to behind-the-scenes histories of his songs. Based on original research and personal interviews with the singer's close collaborators, Featuring Michael Jackson is a book no fan or music history buff will want to be without.
