Back Cover The International No. 1 Bestseller With a new introduction by Berry Gordy founder of Motown Records Megastar Michael Jacksons singularly brilliant career and intensely private lifestyle have become a magnificent obsession for millions of rock fans and celebrity watchers throughout the world. His double-platinum singles rocket to the top of music charts with a velocity equalled only by the inevitable accompaniment of wild rumours about his eccentric personal life. In this intimate and often moving personal account of Michael Jacksons public and private life, he recalls a childhood that was both harsh and joyful but always formidable. Michael and his brothers played amateur music shows and seamy Chicago strip joints until Motowns corporate image-makers turned the Jackson Five into world-wide superstars. Michael Jackson and the Jackson Five have combined sales of over 200 million albums. He speaks candidly about the inspiration behind his music, his mesmerizing dance moves, and the compulsive drive to create that has made him one of the biggest stars in the music business and a legend in his own time. Illustrated with rare photographs from Jackson family albums and Michaels personal photographic archives, as well as a drawing done by Michael exclusively for this book, MOONWALK is a memorable journey to the very heart and soul of a modern musical genius.
