  • Michael Jackson the Man and the Message
    Michael Jackson The Man and the Message Getting to know his greatest concerns through his own words “I really do wish people could understand me some day.” Michael Jackson The following text consists of quotes that are taken from radio and TV interviews, speeches and public statements, poems and reflections, song lyrics, handwritten notes and letters. The earliest quote is from 1972, the latest from 2009. Since the media rather concentrated on questions in terms of gossip and scandal, this compilation should provide an opportunity to get a more complete impression of Michael Jackson's message and his most important concerns... L O V E There are two kinds of music. One comes from the strings of a guitar, the other from the strings of the heart. One sound comes from a chamber orchestra, the other from the beating of the heart's chamber. One comes from an instrument of graphite and wood, the other from an organ of flesh and blood. This loftier music [...] is more pleasing than the notes of the most gifted composers, more moving than a marching band, more harmonious than a thousand voices joined in hymn and more powerful than all the world's percussion instruments combined. That is the sweet sound of love. Human knowledge consists not only of libraries of parchment and ink – it is also comprised of the volumes of knowledge that are written on the human heart, chiseled on the human soul, and engraved on the human psyche. Food is something we all need physically, but so is love, the deeper nourishment, that turns us into who we are.

Even as this article is written, controversy rages not only over the cause of his death but also the legacy he has left behind. 2 Michael manifested all that we loved and loathed of our humanity – a desire to restore the innocence of the world and yet a dark inclination towards deviant transgressions. He was very much an enigma that many imitated but few identifi ed with. Although he was a hypersensitive recluse victimized by an abusive childhood, his transformations of physiognomy caused him to be the focus of uninterrupted media attention. He reportedly gave millions to charitable organizations yet left behind an inheritance of debt and lawsuits.

  • Curriculum-Based Study Guide Michael Jackson Dance Ensemble Michael Jackson
    Curriculum-Based Study Guide Michael Jackson Dance Ensemble Michael Jackson: An American Entertainment Icon Michael Jackson (1958-2009) was an American popular recording artist, dancer, singer- songwriter, musician, and philanthropist. He is recognized as the most successful entertainer of all time, having sold over 700 milllion of recordings. His significant contributions to popular music, dance and fashion, along with a celebrated personal life made him a global icon for over forty years. Figure 1. Michael Jackson in the 1980s. Born in Gary, Indiana, the eighth of ten children, Michael Jackson began his music and dance training at a young age. He was a lover tap and modern jazz, especially the work of the Nicholas Brothers, Fred Astaire, and Gene Kelly. Michael studied the moves of these performers closely. Michael also learned about the craft of performing from James Brown as well as many other African-American soul, R&B, and Motown artists. In 1964, at age six, Michael joined his brothers’ band as a backup vocalist and percussionist. By age eight, he was singing lead vocals with the band, which by this time was called The Jackson 5. Guided under the strict supervision of their father, Joe, the Jackson 5 toured the Midwest extensively in the late 1960s, performing as opening acts at black nightclubs. In 1968, the group was signed by Motown Records and set Billboard chart records with hit singles such as “I Want You Back”, “ABC”, “The Love You Save”, and “I’ll Be There.” It was during this time that young Michael was recognized as having prodigious gifts as a musician and dancer.

Thank-you. http://www.themjcast.com/episode-064-vincent-paterson-special/ Q (The MJCast): We got something pretty cool today to share with everyone, haven't we? Jamon (The MJCast): Yeah, we do. We've got an interview with one of Michael's chief collaborators, an amazing choreographer by the name of Vincent Paterson. He has a documentary that is titled "The Man Behind the Throne", and I think that's a really accurate way of describing him. He's a guy that often isn't in the limelight around Michael's career, but is somebody that had a crucial, crucial role in the in the visual aspects of a lot of Michael's art. Q: And a huge footprint in pop culture, I believe, so-- Jamon: Absolutely. Q: Yeah, well, I guess we should just get to the show. Jamon: Let's do it! [Intro] Q: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the MJCast! I'm Q, and I'm here today with my co-host and Jamon Bull. Now, when people talk about Michael Jackson's career, names often mentioned: studio geniuses Berry Gordy, Quincy Jones, and Bruce Swedien. For me, a name that should certainly be mentioned right alongside, and of just as much importance is choreographer and director Vincent Paterson. Jamon: Yeah, Vincent Paterson began his career with Michael working as an assistant choreographer and lead dancer on the "Beat It" and "Thriller" short films, before continuing on to ideate and choreograph the timeless masterpiece of film "Smooth Criminal".

  • Michael Jackson's Kingdom: Music, Race, and the Sound of the Mainstream
    Journal of Popular Music Studies, Volume 23, Issue 1, Pages 19–39 Michael Jackson’s Kingdom: Music, Race, and the Sound of the Mainstream Tamara Roberts University of California, Berkeley Using the grandiose title “King of Pop” to describe Michael Jackson’s impact on the past forty years of popular culture is quite possibly an understatement. The litany of statistics never seems to grow less staggering: Thriller as the largest selling album in the history of the recording industry, Guinness World Records recognition as the “Most Successful Entertainer of All Time” (“Bio”), and levels of unquantifiable stardom critics claim was previously the sole territory of Elvis (Werner 272). And there is hardly a contemporary megastar who does not count him among their influences. But what exactly is the musical monarchy over which Jackson reigns? What is this “pop” that artists such as Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, and Beyonce´ claim to emulate? As numerous radio and television stations replayed Jackson’s vast tome in the wake of his death, I realized that Jackson’s work sounds both unique and wholly familiar. Resonating with styles such as disco, R&B, and even New Wave, his music incorporates and exceeds these genre demarcations. And Jackson is somehow King of all and none.1 What exactly is pop? The general musicological conception of popular music is as a secular, accessible, “light” body of music enjoyed by a large portion of a given population (Grout and Palisca; Kerman; Manuel; Pen˜´ın; Sadie). The music is often enhanced by a star system,in which an artist’s popularity and success is determined by not only sound but elements such as their personality, private life, or fashion (Manuel 3).
