Best MJ Collection
But then a friend of mine suggested I get the Essential MJ instead. When my copy of MJ's Number Ones got scratched last summer, I almost bought a new copy. I'm glad I listened to her. Both collections are great, but the Essential MJ is MUCH more complete. Unlike the Number Ones collection, the Essential MJ includes several hits from the Jackson 5/Jacksons as well as MJ's early solo hits Ben, Rockin Robin, and Gotta Be There. It also includes all the top 10 charting songs from Off the Wall, Thriller, and Bad.

My friend was lucky and somehow got a 3-disc version of the Essential MJ, with the 3rd disc including Scream and Say Say Say. I ordered the 2-disc version from Amazon and then downloaded several other MJ songs ("I'll be There," "Never Can Say Good-Bye," "Who's Loving You?" "I Wanna Be Where you Are," and "Dancin' Machine" from his early work, and "Workin Day and Night," "Say, Say, Say," "Scream," and "The Earth Song" from his work as an adult solo artist). Now I have three great disks with everything on them. My two daughters (ages 8 and 11) won't let me play anything else in the car!!.


A Power Source of Love and great inspiration!
He was the first artist I ever heard since I was six years of age. I happened to grow up listening to Michael. Over the years I have liked and heard of other great artists as well but this is the only artist that has helped me develop and to be- come inspired by the love of innocence and compassion for all. He has given me that and to other fans around the world. I will never ever forget him and my love for him will be eternal thanks to the spiritual power of his music that has been spread to me and others around the world. This set will raise our emotions and the need to be compassionate as well, especially in this day and age. Love U Michael, and thanks so very much for the gift you've given me.


A Must Own
He has already downloaded all the songs on his iPod. I ordered this CD for my son for his 8th birthday and he absolutely loves it. It really is essential as it has every song you could possible want to hear. As a 40+ woman who grew up along with MJ and his music, I am loving it as well. I highly recommend it. My only regret is that the lyrics are not included.


Love this cd set. Rest In Peace MJ.
I love it. I've been listening to this over and over. My only complaint is that I wish the song Will You Be There, was the full length version. The packaging was good too; it had a lot of great pictures of him throughout the years. .


Greatest hits
If you loved the Jackson Five, and songs spanning Michael Jackson's solo career, this is the CD set for you. I grew up listening to Michael Jackson. .
