Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In this remarkably candid and courageous memoir, the King of Pop tells the story of his life in his own words—complete with exclusive photographs and drawings. “Moonwalk provides a startling glimpse of the artist at work and the artist in reflection.”—Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Megastar Michael Jackson’s singularly brilliant career and intensely reserved lifestyle have been a magnificent obsession for millions of rock fans and celebrity watchers throughout the world. In Moonwalk, he breaks through the wild rumors and widespread intrigue to present an intimate and moving account of his public and private life. Michael recalls a childhood that was both harsh and joyful but always formidable. He and his brothers played amateur music shows and seedy Chicago strip joints until Motown’s corporate image makers turned the Jackson 5 into worldwide superstars. He talks about the happy prankster days of his youth, traveling with his brothers, and his sometimes difficult relationships with his family over the years. He speaks candidly about the inspiration behind his music, his mesmerizing dance moves, and the compulsive drive to create that made him one of the biggest stars in the music business and a legend in his own time. Michael also shares his personal feelings about some of his most public friends . . . including Diana Ross, Berry Gordy, Quincy Jones, Paul McCartney, Fred Astaire, Marlon Brando, and Katharine Hepburn. He talks openly about the crushing isolation of his fame, of his first love, of his plastic surgery, and of his wholly exceptional career and the often bizarre and unfair rumors that have surrounded it. Illustrated with photos from the Jackson photo albums and Michael’s personal photographic archives, as well as drawings done by Michael exclusively for this book, Moonwalk is a memorable journey to the very heart and soul of a musical genius.
