Book Reviews on Xscape Origins and Dangerous

One of the most important aspects of Michael's legacy was his music and artistry and there are not a lot of books that discuss that side of Michael. Before his death, books on Michael were mostly tabloid based and the most popular one, The Magic and the Madness written by J. Randy Tarborelli, was used as a source for all types of articles and books on Michael. That book is now seen as tabloid foddler that has been pretty much ignored in the MJ fan community. (At least I think so.) After Michael's death, books were being released that discussed his music and his impact in popular culture. Even though these books were well over due, the books became some what a relief that, in the book department, Michael's music legacy is documented for all of the world to read. Two books that will be reviewed separately, in this post are about two albums of Michael's: one iconic and one of a retrospect, that shows the greatness that was Michael, his creativity, activism and impact.

Dangerous: 20 Years Later

On November 26th, 1991, Michael's eighth studio album, Dangerous, was released. The CD was highly anticipated so much so that before the CD was released, thousands of copies of the CD were stolen by thieves. Dangerous consists of 14 songs, various topics of discussions and multiple music genres that would satisfy any music lover.  The CD started off the Dangerous era that was from 1991 to 1993 that consists of Michael doing various appearances from MTV's 10th Anniversary special to the Soul Train Awards to Oprah.
