Moonwalk

Michael Jackson's Moonwalk, published by Doubleday on February 1, 1988, offers an intimate look into the life of the King of Pop. Written five months after his album Bad hit shelves, the autobiography takes its title from Jackson's signature dance move. Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis edited the book and contributed a foreword, adding a touch of literary prestige. The 288-page volume chronicles Jackson's rise from a child star in the Jackson 5 to global superstardom, touching on his creative process, personal struggles, and the pressures of fame. It reached number one on the New York Times Best Seller list and sold over a million copies worldwide. Following Jackson's death in June 2009, Doubleday reissued the book that October, introducing a new generation to his story. Moonwalk remains a candid and essential read for fans and music historians alike.[edit]
