Book excerpt: By the best selling authors of 'Michael Jackson: For The Record' Janet Jackson was born on 16th May 1966 in Gary, Indiana - she was just three years old when five of her older brothers, as the Jackson 5, scored their first hit: I Want You Back. Janet's first, self-titled, album was released in 1982 when she was 16 years old, but her input to it was minimal. Not until her first marriage, to James DeBarge, was annulled in November 1985 did Janet sit down, to think seriously about her future direction - and, to her surprise, she realised more than anything she wanted to make music. Decision made, Janet bravely took the first big step on the road to taking control of her own destiny. She fired her manager: her father. Instead, against her father's advice, she teamed up with James 'Jimmy Jam' Harris III & Terry Lewis - formerly members of Prince's band The Time - and the rest, as the saying goes, is history.

Download or read book Michael Janet and the Jackson Family All the Top 40 Hits written by Craig Halstead and published by . This book was released on 2013-09-20 with total page 376 pages. 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 Man in the Music written by Joseph Vogel and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2019-08-27 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For half a century, Michael Jackson’s music has been an indelible part of our cultural consciousness. Landmark albums such as Off the Wall and Thriller shattered records, broke racial barriers, amassed awards, and set a new standard for popular music. While his songs continue to be played in nearly every corner of the world, however, they have rarely been given serious critical attention. The first book dedicated solely to exploring his creative work, Man in the Music guides us through an unparalleled analysis of Jackson’s recordings, album by album, from his trailblazing work with Quincy Jones to his later collaborations with Teddy Riley, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, and Rodney Jerkins. Drawing on rare archival material and on dozens of original interviews with the collaborators, engineers, producers, and songwriters who helped bring the artist’s music into the world, Jackson expert and acclaimed cultural critic Joseph Vogel reveals the inspirations, demos, studio sessions, technological advances, setbacks and breakthroughs, failures and triumphs, that gave rise to an immortal body of work.

Download or read book Janet Jackson s The Velvet Rope written by Ayanna Dozier and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2020-09-03 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question of control for Black women is a costly one. From 1986 onwards, the trajectory of Janet Jackson's career can be summed up in her desire for control. Control for Janet was never simply just about her desire for economic and creative control over her career but was, rather, an existential question about the desire to control and be in control over her bodily integrity as a Black woman. This book examines Janet's continuation of her quest for control as heard in her sixth album, The Velvet Rope. Engaging with the album, the promotion, the tour, and its accompanying music videos, this study unpacks how Janet uses Black cultural production as an emancipatory act of self-creation that allows her to reconcile with and, potentially, heal from trauma, pain, and feelings of alienation. The Velvet Rope's arc moves audiences to imagine the possibility of what emancipation from oppression--from sexual, to internal, to societal--could look like for the singer and for others. The sexually charged content and themes of abuse, including self-harm and domestic violence, were dismissed as “selling points” for Janet at the time of its release. The album stands out as a revelatory expression of emotional vulnerability by the singer, one that many other artists have followed in the 20-plus years since its release.
