Michael Jackson Album: “Best of Michael Jackson [Motown]”

This is a collection of songs from Michael Jackson's solo work for Motown. The early hits like "Got To Be There", the brilliant "I Wanna Be Where You Are", "Rocking Robin" and his first solo number one "Ben" are variations of his work with The Jackson Five. They were produced by The Corporation and they are tremendous singles. Some of the later work like "Happy", "Just A Little Bit Of You" and "One Day In Your Life" are not up to high standards of the early work, but are still quite good. If you want to get an idea of what a young Michael Jackson sounded like, then this is a great place to start.

If you are a fan of old school Michael Jackson, this album is a MUST have. I am not kidding you. I own every single Michael album (including quite a bit of J5 comps) and this collection is my favorite. His voice will melt you. It is a superb mix of the innocence that caused us to fall in love with him and the beats that you can't help but dance to. I would have to say that a large majority of the album is slower, emotional music, so if that is your liking, this is for you. If you prefer the musical stylings of his "Thriller" and "Bad" albums, HIStory would probably be a better choice. Quite a bit of this music is featured on his Moonwalker documentary video, which is where I first heard a lot of the songs and absolutly had to have them! A couple of songs are works with the Jackson Five, but most are Michael solo. Also features my ABSOLUTE Michael favorite - Music and Me.

Michael Jackson is the best entartainer ever. Everything he does is gold. I do hope one day people who now think wrong about him will change their opinion. He deserves more than the title "King of Pop", 'cause throughout the years he managed to give a new sens to what music means. I ask people who share my opinion about this great artist to mail me at: victor_p@starnets.ro

This album reveals Michaels purity and natural tallent at his young age. He has always been very proffessional and any album that he has made is the best of his work. He makes it that, he makes sure its the best of his and his bands ability. Hes the best
