The Definitive Song-by-Song History of Michael Jackson's Motown Years
King of Pop, Book One: The Motown Years delivers an exhaustive, song-by-song critical history of the Jackson 5's rise and reign at Motown Records, from their explosive 1969 debut to their bitter 1975 departure. Combining hard discographical detail with sharp critical analysis, this volume accords Michael Jackson's childhood and adolescent recordings the serious scholarly attention typically reserved for classic rock canons.
