Michael Jackson's death in 2009 elevated the already legendary pop icon's status to stratospheric heights. And while he will most likely be remembered for his string of mammoth hit albums in the 1980s, the first phase of his career, as lead singer of the Jackson 5, is often considered just as memorable. THE DEFINITIVE COLLECTION highlights the best moments from the group's Motown catalog, and showcases the soulful brilliance of a young Jackson just hitting his stride as a powerhouse entertainer. Released roughly three days after Michael Jackson's passing, The Definitive Collection is a 19-track collection of highlights from his Motown recordings, including the hits he had with his brothers in the Jackson 5. This emphasizes Michael's solo hits over the Jackson 5's -- there are ten cuts of him alone, nine with his brothers (and one of those is an alternate "minus mix" of "I'll Be There") -- which skews this a little bit toward puppy love over bubblegum, something that may be a little too syrupy for some listeners, but there's no denying that for fans lacking a collection of Michael's earliest hits, this is a useful compilation, gathering "I Want You Back," "ABC," "The Love You Save," "Who's Lovin' You," "Never Can Say Goodbye," "Got to Be There," "Rockin' Robin," "Ben," and "Dancing Machine" in one place. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine Producer: Harry Weinger (Compilation)   Compilation Appearances Vol. 2-Motown Singles Collection (1972-1992) Pippin Characters Ultimate Collection Diana: Princess Of Wales Tribute Center Stage Produced By George Martin Zoolander Musical Biography Vol. 1-Best Of Motown 1970s Full Moon Best Of Motown 1980s Vol. 1- Millennium Collection Vice City(box Set) 1002 Top Hits Of The Seventies: mega Hits Wcbs-Fm: Motown Soul & Great: Motown Wsni Fm - Motown Wods Fm - Motown K-Earth Oldies Radio Kfrc Oldies Radio: motown Wcbs Fm101.1: Motown Soul & Rock - Motown / V From Q With Love Express Yourself:soul In The 20th Cen Friends Reunited:music Of The Year 19 Voices From The Fifa World Cup Voices Of Motown Voices From The Fifa World Cup:offici More Motown Classics Gold Number 1's Now That's What I Call Music: 80's 100 Greatest Motown: The Complete #1's (Box Set) (Limited Edition) Complete Motown Singles Vol 11B:1971(Limited Edition) Motown 50 Fanthology Ultimate Christmas Collection   Associated Artists and Works Swingin' To Michael Jackson: A Tribute ~ Artists, Various A Tribute To Michael Jackson ~ Artists, Various Jackson 5 (The) Jackson 5 (The) Jackson 5 (The) Best Of ~ Jackson 5 (The) Jackson 5 (The) Jackson 5 (The) Original Soundtrack Michael Jackson's This Is It ~ Original Soundtrack A Tribute To Michael Jackson ~ Various Artists Smooth Sax Tribute To Michael Jackson's Thriller ~ Various Artists Various Artists Various Artists   Technical Info Release Date : 08/25/2009 Original Release Date : 2009 Catalog ID : BOO13297 Label : Motown Records Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00602527147833    Product Image
