Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jacksons are far and away the most successful family ever to enter the music business. Since 1969, when 'I Want You Back' became the Jackson 5's first hit single, the family has scored an astonishing 160+ different Top 40 hits around the world, and that's not including uncredited appearances on singles such as USA For Africa's 'We Are The World' and Rockwell's 'Somebody's Watching Me'. The Top 40 singles detailed in this book are listed chronologically, according to the date they first entered the chart in one of ten countries: Australia, Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States, and are numbered 1-164. Singles like 'We Are The World' and 'Somebody's Watching Me' are also included in the correct chronological order but aren't numbered.Where possible, each Top 40 hit is illustrated with a picture sleeve. As picture sleeves were rarely issued in the USA or the UK in the early-to-mid 1970s, most of the earlier sleeves shown originate from countries like France, Germany, Japan and the Netherlands. For each Top 40 hit, the catalogue numbers and release dates are detailed, for both the USA and the UK, followed by the Top 100 chart runs in each of the ten countries, including any chart re-entries. The catalogue numbers quoted are for 7" singles up to 1990, and for CD singles after 1990, unless otherwise stated. Of course, in recent years, it has become increasingly common for singles to be released digitally only. The most recent Top 40 hit by a member of the Jackson family is Michael's posthumous duet with Akon, 'Hold My Hand', which entered the charts in December 2010.The main body of the book is followed by 'The Almost Top 40 Hits', which gives an honourable mention to Jackson singles that have peaked between no.41 and no.50 in one or more of the ten featured countries, and a fascinating 'Trivia' section which round-up the most successful Jacksons and the most successful Jackson singles in each country.Author's Note: This book is intended as an introduction to the music of the Jackson family. If you are looking for a more in depth look at Janet's or Michael's career, I can recommend two books I have co-written with Chris Cadman, namely 'Janet Jackson: For The Record' and Michael Jackson: For The Record (2nd Edition').

Download or read book Michael Jackson and Women written by June Forester and published by Libres d'écrire. This book was released on 2018-07-13 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Jackson's sexuality has always been a controversial issue which often degenerated into a media spectacle, leaving hardly enough space for other aspects to exist. When he was alive, he was considered either as an androgynous or an homosexual character who could not be attracted to women in any manner whatsoever. After his death, he became all at once a highly sexy heterosexual object, sometimes described as a womanizer : actresses, singers, supermodels, princesses or mere fans, all claimed that they shared intimate moments with the King of Pop. This book is an attempt to unravel the truth behind more than three decades of allegations. From his childhood to his death, he avoided doing things like anybody else and his relationships with women were not an exception to the rule. Both intricate and exciting, Michael Jackson's love life has something of an "epic" and often challenges the mere triviality of facts.

Since the chosen bands are based on the author's personal taste, this two-volume set provokes discussion of which performers are included and why, offering insights into the surprising influences behind them. From the Everly Brothers, to the Ramones, to Public Enemy, the work covers a wide variety of styles and genres, clearly illustrating the connections between them.
