Album Description
The 2CD The Essential Michael Jackson takes you on a journey from budding star, to iconic legend and allows you to immerse yourself in the musical and emotional development of each track defining the story of a global superstar. Michael Jackson needs no introduction, as part of the Jackson 5 he helped make up a remarkable musical family and one of the biggest pop phenomenons of the early 70s. The Jacksons' infectious brand of funky soul and now iconic stage presence reached out globally and made them and Michael international stars. As the success of the band grew, Michael branched out with his own solo career first launching with "Got to be There" and then "Rockin' Robin". The momentum started to grow with the release of more successful singles and, as the hype surrounding the Jackson 5 slowed down towards the late 70s, Michael continued to develop and grow as an artist. With the release of Off the Wall, an immaculately crafted set of funky disco-pop, smooth soul, and lush, sentimental pop ballads, Michael cemented his place as a global star. The 1980s were a career-defining period with his instantly identifiable voice, eye-popping dance moves, stunning musical versatility, and loads of sheer star power Michael Jackson was unstoppable. The 1982 album Thriller became the biggest selling album of all time and combined his musical genius with an exceptional and ahead of its time music video epic. Bad (1987) was released with enormous public anticipation and spawned another succession of hit singles with "The Way You Make Me Feel" and "Man in the Mirror."

 Best MJ Collection November 4, 2009
Laura (San Diego, California)
When my copy of MJ's Number Ones got scratched last summer, I almost bought a new copy. But then a friend of mine suggested I get the Essential MJ instead. I'm glad I listened to her. Both collections are great, but the Essential MJ is MUCH more complete. Unlike the Number Ones collection, the Essential MJ includes several hits from the Jackson 5/Jacksons as well as MJ's early solo hits Ben, Rockin Robin, and Gotta Be There. It also includes all the top 10 charting songs from Off the Wall, Thriller, and Bad.
My friend was lucky and somehow got a 3-disc version of the Essential MJ, with the 3rd disc including Scream and Say Say Say. I ordered the 2-disc version from Amazon and then downloaded several other MJ songs ("I'll be There," "Never Can Say Good-Bye," "Who's Loving You?" "I Wanna Be Where you Are," and "Dancin' Machine" from his early work, and "Workin Day and Night," "Say, Say, Say," "Scream," and "The Earth Song" from his work as an adult solo artist). Now I have three great disks with everything on them. My two daughters (ages 8 and 11) won't let me play anything else in the car!!
A Power Source of Love and great inspiration! October 16, 2009

I happened to grow up listening to Michael. He was the first artist I ever heard since I was six years of age. Over the years I have liked and heard of other great artists as well but this is the only artist that has helped me develop and to be- come inspired by the love of innocence and compassion for all. He has given me that and to other fans around the world. I will never ever forget him and my love for him will be eternal thanks to the spiritual power of his music that has been spread to me and others around the world. This set will raise our emotions and the need to be compassionate as well, especially in this day and age. Love U Michael, and thanks so very much for the gift you've given me.

I ordered this CD for my son for his 8th birthday and he absolutely loves it. He has already downloaded all the songs on his iPod. It really is essential as it has every song you could possible want to hear. As a 40+ woman who grew up along with MJ and his music, I am loving it as well. I highly recommend it. My only regret is that the lyrics are not included.
Love this cd set. Rest In Peace MJ. October 4, 2009

I've been listening to this over and over. I love it. My only complaint is that I wish the song Will You Be There, was the full length version. The packaging was good too; it had a lot of great pictures of him throughout the years.

I grew up listening to Michael Jackson. If you loved the Jackson Five, and songs spanning Michael Jackson's solo career, this is the CD set for you.
