early genius work
I mean as a Kid the man had soul way beyond his ears. Michael Jackson was always a Musical genius to my ears. i mean as a youngster he was singing/sanging his heart out on Smokey Robinson's "Who's loving you". I mean his tone and phrasing was incredible. the early motown years capture his hits and rightfuly so. i mean when didn't MJ not have hit material out? the Brother was Blessed with a knack for Melody,tone and skills that so very few ever reach no matter how much training and practice. the cat always made what he did seem effortlessly and so easy, when it was wasn't.

this collection shows his early days and the songs here are timeless. the Man was a Musical Genius before he was 18 and the reasoning being his Instrument of a voice was known all around the world period.

the Man knew Music period. truly one of a Kind.


Great price
. I was very happy with my purchase and even more excited with the additional discount.


Response to Cynthia
The Definitive Collection

I think Cynthia's missing the point here. . with Motown clearly marked on the back cover, this is obviously a definitive Motown collection only.

I've given this a 3 star rating based purely on the tracklisting, which does cover most of his best Motown songs.

If the remastering's been done properly, then this will probably be the CD to plug the huge Motown gap in good Michael Jackson compilations (the Motown 50 Mixes apart, which is fantastic).


The title is misleading...
How can something be titled "definitive collection" without the songs Thriller, Billie Jean, Scream, etc. This CD should be named "Michael Jackson: The Early Years" or something similar, since this is a collection of his Motown songs only. ?

Besides what's the point in releasing yet another MJ compilation album? I know record companies always want money and the death of an artist is one of the greatest chances of making big money, but we already have Michael's songs in all possible combinations, besides, in the era of mp3 anyone can make their own compilation CDs.
