In this special edition 132-page magazine, we turn our attention to Michael Jackson – the undisputed King Of Pop – and examine his astronomical career decade by decade from his early days alongside his brothers in The Jackson 5 right through to his turbulent final years and the ill-fated ‘This Is It’ shows that were due to take place in London.
We’re really excited to bring you our new special edition magazine, Classic Pop Presents: Michael Jackson.
Michael Jackson is one of the most identifiable cultural icons of the 20th and 21st centuries, and we set out to celebrate every facet of an absorbing and prolific life in pop with this very special magazine. We take a step back and pay tribute to the artists that inspired this icon.
Michael created personas for every song, album and video and took inspiration from acting legends like Charlie Chaplin and Laurence Olivier, as much as musicians like James Brown. In Annemarie Latour’s blog Tramping with Chaplin, she draws parallels from Jackson’s and Chaplin’s lives where childhood sorrow and pain were a spark of inspiration for clowning, acting and performing for both of them. Fred Astaire was also a huge influence to Michael’s sense of cabaret and on-stage joie de vivre and their love for each other is well-documented.
We’ve all been influenced by Michael Jackson but we bring you all of HIS influences throughout his life and career.
