Michael Jackson's story is well known, but journalist Steve Knopper's meticulously researched book avoids sensationalism and hyperbole to create a rich, fair-minded portrait of Jackson and his unique artistry., Veteran journalist Steve Knopper balances the musical and the personal, packing the 400 pages of The Genius of Michael Jackson with fascinating anecdotes, covering every stage of the singer's career in vivid detail....The section on Jackson's childhood is especially gripping....an authoritative account of a world-changing force of nature., Extensive interviews with the multitudes who crossed Jackson's path, from record executives to studio personnel to video directors, set Knopper's effort apart, and the portrayal shies away from sensationalism. What emerges is a thoughtful look at an artist who grew up in a segregated mill town and who, for the rest of his life, made music to bring down walls., Tracing Jackson's life and career, from his upbringing in Gary, Indiana, to the Jackson 5, solo fame, and through his death, [Steve Knopper] reveals a complicated, workaholic, tortured, sensitive soul, a peerless performer... Knopper writes with verve not only about the music business, but also about music and performance., Steve Knopper is on a rescue mission: To restore Michael Jackson's legacy as a significant artist….Through reminiscences and observations Knopper gathers from more than 400 interviews, MJ deftly recounts the familiar aspects of the story…Knopper shows similar critical and reportorial savvy in assessing Jackson's creative peaks and valleys….Among the book's many answers that can't be questioned is the resonating impact of Jackson's boundary-shattering talent., A rich and thorough examination of one of music's most riveting, mystifying, incandescent figures. Steve Knopper brings insight and clarity to the chaos of Michael Jackson's tragic final years, but--maybe more importantly--fleshes out the powerful and brilliant performances that transfixed the world., [Knopper] takes a journalist's approach to the story, chronicling M. J.'s journey from a working-class family, in Gary, Indiana, to unequalled fame and riches., Steve Knopper is on a rescue mission: To restore Michael Jackson's legacy as a significant artist....Through reminiscences and observations Knopper gathers from more than 400 interviews, MJ deftly recounts the familiar aspects of the story...Knopper shows similar critical and reportorial savvy in assessing Jackson's creative peaks and valleys....Among the book's many answers that can't be questioned is the resonating impact of Jackson's boundary-shattering talent., Knopper rewards readers with surprising, apt, and copious details...Knopper handles his prodigious subject with a reporter's imperative of impartiality but a music fan's spirit of appreciation., Steve Knopper has done something very difficult: He's written a fair-minded, musically comprehensive biography of the weirdest superstar in pop history. This is the clearest, most objective portrait of Jackson I've read., A fascinating account of the tortured artist's tumultuous life that will be an invaluable resource to music historians and fans alike., More than rehash the well-known arc of the dysfunctional Jackson clan, Knopper targets the details that turned a child star into the King of Pop., A rich and thorough examination of one of music's most riveting, mystifying, incandescent figures. Steve Knopper brings insight and clarity to the chaos of Michael Jackson's tragic final years, but-maybe more importantly-fleshes out the powerful and brilliant performances that transfixed the world.

Synopsis
The ultimate critical biography of the King of Pop: a panoramic, vivid, and incisive portrait of Michael Jackson that explores and celebrates his influence in music, dance, and popular culture, drawing on 400 interviews. From the moment in 1965 when he first stepped on stage with his brothers at a local talent show in Gary, Indiana, Michael Jackson was destined to become the undisputed King of Pop. In a career spanning four decades, Jackson became a global icon, selling over 400 million albums, earning thirteen Grammy awards, and spinning dance moves that captivated the world. Songs like "Billie Jean" and "Black and White" altered our national discussion of race and equality, and Jackson's signature aesthetic, from the single white glove to the moonwalk, defined a generation. Despite years of scandal and controversy, Jackson's ultimate legacy will always be his music. Rolling Stone contributing editor Steve Knopper delves deeply into Michael Jackson's music and talent. From the artist's early days with the Jackson 5, to his stratospheric success as a solo artist, to "Beat It" and "Thriller," "Bad" and "The Man in the Mirror," to his volatile final years, his attempted comeback, and untimely death, Knopper explores the beguiling and often contradictory forces that fueled Michael Jackson's genius. Drawing on an amazing 400 interviews--ranging from Jackson's relatives, friends, and key record executives to celebrities like will.i.am and Weird Al Yankovic--this critical biography puts all the elements of his career into perspective, and celebrates his triumph in art and music. This is a rare and panoramic view into the genius and influence of an incomparable talent.
