BOOK - Michael Jackson - La Totale

From the first hits with the Jackson 5 to the posthumous songs, it took no less than 608 pages to decipher, analyze and explain all of Michael Jackson's songs and his videos that upset the music industry of the time and inspired the following generations. After a dazzling start to his career with boy band The Jackson 5, Michael Jackson has built, step by step, his solo career. In the early 1980s Thriller became the best-selling album of all time. The Michael Jackson phenomenon will not stop. A genius singer and dancer, he is the symbol of an assumed and successful musical mix which allows certain racial barriers to be broken down. Very often forgotten or too rarely valued, Michael Jackson's creative process is as fascinating as his works. Songs, short films, duets with other artists or his involvement in film projects reflect his taste for musical and scenic challenges, and his ability to renew himself. Supported by numerous testimonies from collaborators of the star, Michael Jackson, the total lifts the veil on the manufacturing secrets, long kept in silence, of the music and images that are part of the pantheon of pop music.
