Notes & Personnel Info |  | The world is divided up into two types of people: those who like Michael Jackson's older Motown recordings, and those who like his newer Columbia recordings. This excellent 20 track compilation is for the former, but it could well convert the latter. Features "I Want You Back," "ABC," "Rockin' Robin," "I'll Be There," and much more. |  | Michael Jackson's greatest hits, 1971-1975, emphasize his waiflike charm and youth (he was 13 when the first of these songs appeared) in ballads such as "Got to Be There," "Ben" (even if it is a love song to a rat), and "I Wanna Be Where You Are." The upbeat cover of "Rockin' Robin" is equally appealing. ~ William Ruhlmann |
