Thriller The Musical Life of Michael Jackson 下载 极速 rtf epub 在线 word txt pdf

Thriller takes us back to a time in 1982 when Michael

Jackson was king of the charts, breaking the color barrier on MTV,

heralding the age of video, and becoming the ultimate

representation of the crossover dreams of Motown’s Berry Gordy, who

helped launch Jackson’s career with the Jackson 5. In this incisive

and revealing examination of the making and meaning of

Thriller, Nelson George illuminates the brilliant creative

process (and work ethic) of Jackson and producer Quincy Jones,

deftly exploring the larger context of the music, life, and seismic

impact of Michael Jackson on three generations. All this from a

groundbreaking journalist and cultural critic who was there. George

questions whether the phenomenon Jackson became is even possible

today. He revisits his early writings on the King of Pop and

examines not only the stunning success of Thriller but also

Jackson as an artist, public figure, and racial enigma—including

the details surrounding his death on June 25, 2009.

媒体评论

Kirkus

, May 2010

“[A] reverent—but not wholly uncritical—blend of memoir, music

journalism and pop sociology to commemorate the untimely death of

the controversial but immensely gifted pop icon…A worthy postmortem

tribute that admirably avoids both easy sensationalism and

knee-jerk sentimentalism.”

Booklist

, June 2010

“A brief if heartfelt assessment of Jackson’s career and

life…George reappraises his own earlier writings about Jackson and

reinvestigates the incredible work ethic that defined Jackson and

producer Quincy Jones in the days when they produced Thriller…As

one would expect from George, the narrative goes beyond surface

concerns…George’s analysis and insight are laudable…A more than

useful retrospective on the man and his music.”
