Soul Bopper 1946-1949 - Milt Jackson

Advantages: It's real music
Disadvantages: It doesn't last long

...Being someone who is a huge music fan I always looking for music and artists too listen to that I haven’t experienced before, so with that in mind I can be found usually reading music magazines and searching the internet to satisfy my hunger for new audio delights and information, so when I come across a website such as “Bluenote.com” who ask you if you want to kept informed of forthcoming releases from their label by their newly signed artists and classic re-issues from their back-catalogue I was only to eager to sign up.

Advantages: Greatest Debut Ever, Every Song is Fantastic, His Afro!
Disadvantages: How can there be any, it's Michael Jackson!

...voice could not carry this alone, he was overdubbed a few times to create a harmony and fill out the vocals. The video was also very advanced for it's time. It showed Jackson dancing in front of various funky backgrounds, with 3 images of Michael on the screen for a while. Finally it is the first song where he made lots of screams and squeals throughout the vocals. He had tremendous success with the same technique on much of the Thriller album. 2. Rock With You - Such a fantastic soulful song! It was the first song Rod Temperton wrote for Jackson. He would write many others for him, including "Off The Wall" and "Thriller." The original title was "I Want To Eat You Up," but it was quickly changed to fit Michael's image. 3.

Advantages: Lots of cracking tracks from the king of pop
Disadvantages: none

...This is a classic Micheal Jackson album,in my opinion it was and is his best album to date. The album included iconic and memorable tracks such as Billie Jean and Wanna be startin somethin. For me there is not one song I dont like.Each song sounds different and makes me feel different in its own way. The track listing is as follows: 1. Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' - 6:04 - A more upbeat dance sounding track from the king of pop,that was pretty original for its time,love how this song just manages to put me in a good mood everytime I hear it 2. Baby Be Mine - 4:20 A more soulful/pop sounding track,thats a bit laid back yet as it progresses gets a bit more poppy and upbeat. 3. The Girl Is Mine - 3:42 An easy going easy on the ears sounding track,with those sickly lovey dovey vocals and lyrics :-) 4. Thriller - 5... Read review
