Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I met Michael Jackson once, in 1982, while working on the music video for "Billie Jean." He was quite personable, and incredibly nice to everyone on set. But the thing that impressed me most about him was this: he was a professional. Every move he made was intentional. He demanded perfection, but was never cocky or arrogant. He listened to others, but all the moves were 100 percent Michael. At the time, Michael was already a legend. From the 11 year-old boy belting out songs on The Ed Sullivan Show to the disco smash hit "Rock with You," Michael's voice and image were known world-wide. However, his image was about to change, both literally and figuratively.

Book excerpt: Michael Jackson was one of those rare human beings who can truly be described as a legend. As with Elvis and John Lennon, everyone will remember where they were when they heard about the death of Michael Jackson. He was just fifty when he died, yet had become a superstar by the time he was eleven, ensuring his music was part of the fabric of everyone's life. Though his days of greatest success were behind him, Jackson was standing on the threshold of what could well have been one of the biggest comebacks in showbiz history. It wasn't to be, but the music, sales figures and the number of current stars who queued to pay tribute to his influence underlined the fact that, for all his controversial personal quirks, Michael Jackson was indeed one of the greats. This picture-packed tribute charts the life of a legend, from his earliest days as a hyperactive child protégé fronting family group the Jackson Five, to the assured superstar looking out from the cover of Thriller, still the best-selling album of all time. It analyses the magical stage moves like the Moonwalk that made him a sensational live act, celebrates the intoxicating music that made him the King of Pop and follows his life right through to the comeback that was to be cruelly cut short before the curtain could rise. MICHAEL JACKSON 1958-2009: LIFE OF A LEGEND tells the larger-than-life story of a unique character whose musical legacy will never die.

Book excerpt: PREFACE#13;#13; #13;#13; Michael Jackson! The Apollo Memorial, is an attempt to capture photographically the essence and philosophic outpouring of love and affection offered for Michael Jackson, a truly incredible legend and wonderful product of the Apollo Theater, where so many have gotten their start. The first Amateur Night at the Apollo began in 1934 and since, the stellar list of legends to grace American music history includes Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Billy Holiday and Sammy Davis, among others. Now, upon Michael's passing, Rev. Al Sharpton, incisively avant-garde as he always is, called for the celebration not simply to honor this great artiste but also to help shape the overall response that would ensue in wake of Michael's public and private persona. Naturally, because of Michael's great talents that have serenaded so many for so long, the community from far and wide thought it fitting this magnanimous hero should be remembered Harlem, New York, style. This is reflected in fact that the Apollo theater is one of Harlem, New York City's and America's most enduring cultural institution. In that vein, Michael's fans came to give him the thunderous ?Wake? fitting for the charismatic megastar that Michael really was. In retrospect, with Sharpton stewarding the tribute, the ?wolves? were forced to tow the line and with that the show beautifully unfolded with thunderous spirituality hovering, musically and mystically, while financially rewarding local merchants. All this notwithstanding, the photographs especially reflect on the fact, the Apollo Theater of Harlem, New York, celebrating its 75th year in 2009, certainly knows how to throw a party, especially for one of its greats which in turn reinforces the cultural and philosophic utility of that institution!#13;#13; #13;#13; To complement the photographs presented in this work, texts praising Mr. Jackson in a positive manner offer different perspectives that constructively chronicle the originality of his life and work as well as seeking to counter negative sentiments expressed regarding the gentleman's personal life. This work of praise highlights some aspects of the mystical, spiritual, divine essence of a man who describes himself as ?a slave to the rhythm? and as ?a perfectionist? who confessed ?I am blessed to be an instrument of nature.' He had an exceptional work ethic. This is manifest and through his extraordinary talents he was able to touch the esoteric metaphysical and spiritual inner core of so many, eschewing a healing potency that speaks to a heavenly endowed mission of human transformation brought about through expressions of love, love, love! In addition, as far as possible, paying attention to the significant body of work he has produced and recounting sentiments expressed by the people, this effort has sought to paint as positive a picture of a man whom Elizabeth Taylor dubbed ?King of Pop, Rock, Soul, Entertainment.' Equally a child star in the public eye just as Michael, she described him as ?highly intelligent, intuitive, understanding, sympathetic and generous? even ?larger than life.' #13;#13; #13;#13; Finally, a bibliography has been appended to encourage further research into the life of this incredible entertainer who knew so many in all walks of life and touched so many more offering sentiments of love, healing and compassion through his magical aura, charitable and humanitarian spirit, and extraordinary creativity that seems timeless. It equally casts a stern and critical view of the role Media has played in hounding Mr. Jackson with a seeming predetermined intent. While the insidious name calling and negativity is renown, an equally good example is also seen for, in the days after his death word circulated on the Internet that Jordan Chandler, the young man who accused Mr. Jackson of child molestation, staining his career and persona, has reportedly confessed that his dad, Evan Chandler, made him falsely swear to those allegations. How sad and even more important, the media has chosen to ignore this revelation unmindful it may make Mr. Jackson rest peacefully knowing the truth has finally and really set him free of that horrible experience; and to those who have so bitterly excoriated him over the years, make them realize how wrong they were in their harsh treatment of this wonderful soul who only had good intentions in his crusade to help and heal mankind, while gushing them with extraordinary joy in music and dance. This issue has been debated unending and no confirmation has been made that Mr. Chandler actually uttered the words attributed to him. Yet, its believed if he did make such a confirmed confession it would probably open any number of possibilities of not just public moral condemnation but also possible legal ramifications. Still, the statue of limitations may have expired regarding the incident and therefore he could not be prosecuted. Nevertheless, conscience is a powerful prosecutor and only time will tell if this whole incident is really true or fabricated. Nonetheless, we should always be mindful of a powerful Michael's saying: ?No one wants to be mortal. Everybody wants immortality. I know the creator will die, but his work will live on.' #13;#13; #13;#13; The Photographs for the most part, speak for themselves, eventhough they carry a caption, for they give the reader an opportunity to observe, ponder, reflect and connect to Michael through their own personal experiences which were shared with and through him. Afterall, hardly anyone over the last decades has not heard and participated in the enjoyment of some song or concert, video, etc., associated with Michael Jackson. #13;#13; #13;#13; The Memorial was designed to celebrate a true Apollo legend, as the theater historian Billy Mitchell indicated, because after his Apollo success Michael was someone who went forth and conquered the world through his work ethic, the sensational gracefulness of his dance routines and the ingenuity of his lyrics and angelic and melodic voice. Putting all of this together, we are convinced there was something special about Michael Jackson, something spiritual, mystical, even magical. He was a sort of mythical figure imbued and guided by divine inspiration and heavenly grace. Deepak Chopra described Michael as ?one of the great iconic artists of our time.' He was an ?artistic genius of immense stature and though not formally trained he read classics and listened to Beethoven and Mozart.' Even further, he added, Michael Jackson ?will be remembered for the agony of what he experienced and the ecstasy he gave people.' Equally his son, Gotham Chopra, a friend of Michael for many years added, ?The same people who scandalized him turned around to praise him. This is part of the mythical process.' That is to say, Michael ascended from mortal to immortal to mistical, mythical stature. #13;#13; #13;#13; All of this is sought to be captured in this volume in Tribute to a man of extraordinary artistry who worked tremendously hard to optimize his talents and become the very best in his profession, setting the bar above the rainbow and daring others to even attempt to reach or scale it. Nevertheless, in process of his unspoken challenge, he dared others to do what he did through love, charity and his trust of humanity, all within the philosophical constructs of the fatherhood of god and the brotherhood of man.

Book excerpt: A compellingly candid memoir that details Jackson's life in seclusion, by the bodyguards who were with him in his final days - with a new introduction to commemorate the tenth anniversary of Michael Jackson's death . Hounded by the tabloid media, driven from his self-made sanctuary, Neverland, Michael Jackson spent his final years moving from city to city, living with his three children in virtual seclusion -- a futile attempt to escape a world that wouldn't leave him alone. During that time, two men served as the singer's personal security team: Bill Whitfield, a former cop and veteran of the security profession, and Javon Beard, a brash, untested rookie, both single fathers themselves. Stationed at his side nearly 24/7, their job was to see and hear everything that transpired, and to keep everyone else out, making them the only two men who know what 60 million fans around the world still want to know: What really happened to the King of Pop? Driven by a desire to show the world who Michael Jackson truly was, Whitfield and Beard have produced the only definitive, first-person account of Michael Jackson's last years: the extreme measures necessary to protect Jackson and his family, the financial struggles that led their pay to be suspended for weeks at a time, the simple moments of happiness they managed to share in a time of great stress, the special relationship Jackson shared with his fans, and the tragic events that culminated in the singer's ill-fated comeback, This Is It. The truth is far more captivating than anything you've yet heard.
