In this slim new collection, critically-acclaimed author and journalist Joseph Vogel gathers together some of his most informative and provocative pieces on the late King of Pop. Featuring ten articles and a previously unpublished bonus chapter, this fascinating mosaic explores a wide range of subject matter: from the impact of race on Jackson’s career, to the ways he challenged and expanded the definition of “pop,” to behind-the-scenes histories of his songs. Based on original research and personal interviews with the singer’s close collaborators, Featuring Michael Jackson is a book no fan or music history buff will want to be without.
Joseph Vogel is the author of five books, including Man in the Music: The Creative Life and Work of Michael Jackson. His work has appeared in The Atlantic, The Huffington Post, and PopMatters, among other publications. Vogel's books and articles have been translated into over a dozen languages. He currently resides in New York where he is an instructor at the University of Rochester.
