(The) Michael Rabin Legacy: Unissued Recordings 1950-56

Advantages: Holds many classics
Disadvantages: None

...This man needs no introduction, whether you love or hate him there are not many people who have never heard of him. His career has sup parsed 10 years, where his music has stunned and excited many people of all sexes, ages and races. This man first appeared with his four brothers in the first “boy group” The Jackson Five. Michael the youngest of four brothers (at the time) held, and led the group to incredible success, not only musically, but the Jackson 5 also starred in their own Television cartoon show. When describing this success you would assume that Michael Jackson was in his twenties, not the tender age of just nine years old.

Advantages: Great songs, talent, highly skilled voice, excellent sound quality
Disadvantages: You might not like Michael Jackson

.... There is something catchy and hard to beat about Michael Jackson's Thriller. There is a real texture and substance to the album. The album is zesty and full of life. It is upbeat, intense and rich. The album combines all music genres into one. There is a good mix of pop, rock, r and b and dance."Wanna Be Startin' is the beginning of the album.

Well today (29th August 2006) is a very special day, it is Michael Jackson's 48th Birthday! For this reason I would like to take the liberty to write my final review on one of the greatest albums of all time - Michael Jackson's first solo album away from Motown, "Off the Wall". A little history about the production of "Off the Wall": Released in August 1979 "Off The Wall" was Michaels first solo album as an adult artist. He wanted this album to be the best it could be. He needed someone with great experience and had met Quincey Jones on the set on the movie "The Wiz" and Quincey produced the album. Michael wanted the sound of the album to be different from that of the Jacksons who had just had there biggest album success... Read review
