Legend

Beschreibung

Dive into Michael Jackson's groundbreaking career and discover how he reshaped music, entertainment, and culture over five decades. In fifty years, forty-five of which were spent on stage, Michael Jackson redefined the rules of the music and entertainment industries. The inventor of the music video and an all-time record-seller, he also broke down racial barriers, notably by becoming the first black artist to be broadcast on MTV in the early 1980s. Discover the King of Pop's global impact and enduring legacy in Michael Jackson: Legend, with a detailed chronology and a full analysis of his work. This book also explores the myths and legends that marked the musician's life, not forgetting an unprecedented tribute to his humanitarian efforts. Michael Jackson: Legend corresponds to the release of Michael, a biographical musical drama directed by Antoine Fuqua, scheduled for release in the United States in April 2025.
