Mission: Make Man in the Music a Bestseller / Book Review Included
You may have read the news about the release of Joe Vogel’s book Man in the Music on this page. A campaign has been launched by Michael fans to make this incredible book a bestseller.
This 320-page book, which did not receive promotional support from the media, is on track in its first week of release to break the sales record of the new book by Jermaine Jackson (Michael from a Brother’s View). Jermaine has been talking with various media outlets and television networks to promote his book. This is the power of unity among Michael Jackson fans. But they aren’t satisfied—they want to push the sales of Man in the Music, an excellent piece of writing about Michael Jackson’s art and music, even higher, and they advertise the book everywhere. They want Joe Vogel’s new book to land among the top 100 bestsellers on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Right now, it is at position 211.
If this book makes it into the top 100, it will officially be announced as one of the bestsellers and the most successful books of the year. The New York Times will also include it in its rankings. After that, media attention will shift toward this book, and Joe Vogel will be able to show, on major television networks, the support he has always shown for Michael in his writings—introducing a beautiful aspect of his art to ordinary people.
For this book to make the New York Times list of top books, it must be purchased only from Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The book has sold well in Britain, Canada, and of course Japan as well.
U.S. publishers easily print insulting and vulgar books about Michael Jackson. They need to know that Michael Jackson fans want to read good books—not lies and fantasy written only to make money.
About the book
“In many ways, an artist is his work. ~ Michael Jackson.”
This is the right idea that passes through the reader’s mind while reading Man in the Music. In his book, Joe Vogel bravely critiques Michael Jackson’s music and his solo songs, and he begins his work with the songs from the album Off the Wall in the 1970s, reaching Invincible in the new millennium. His critique is free of prejudice and presented with a neutral viewpoint.
Reading this book feels like a journey and exploration deep into Michael Jackson’s mind. At times, the reader feels as if they are watching Michael in the studio as he creates music pieces.
One of the book’s major achievements is that it reviews and examines each album separately. It doesn’t focus only on how the work was produced, but also looks at its background and history. In this way, it can be said that Man in the Music is also a historical work, and the reader understands the time and place conditions and the world’s changes at the moment each work was created. All the influential elements behind Michael’s songs are introduced, and we come to understand what Michael’s professional situation, personal life, and even feelings were like at the time each album was released.
Joe Vogel, who has spoken with Michael’s collaborators in the studio, provides even more details about the process of producing the albums.
The book’s weakness is that it addresses financial crises and Michael Jackson’s difficulties, but it is clear that without passing through this chapter, it would not have been possible for the reader to reach the truth behind the influential effect of part of his music.
Vogel writes that Michael used controversies and troubles as a driving force and inspiration. A large portion of his music was influenced by the difficulties he had to get through. Although Vogel gives the reader a view of these problems, he keeps a safe distance from exaggeration by the media and from what has always been said in criticism of Michael, and he keeps his focus on music.
Vogel shows how Michael overcame the giant of crisis and created deep music out of it.
Each chapter of the book follows the same framework: first history, then a deep look at each individual song of every album. Vogel also does not ignore unreleased songs. This is what opens a valuable window into Michael Jackson’s creative power and lays bare, before our eyes, his obsessive effort to reach the very edge of perfection.
However, the book is not only about music. With a realistic and detail-oriented perspective, Joe Vogel also discusses Michael Jackson’s clips and live performances.
In the end, what makes Man in the Music different from other books is its positive outlook while remaining neutral. Every fan will feel the absence of this book on their bookshelf. Beyond its beautiful critique, this book is a comprehensive music culture of Michael Jackson. Also, by accurately recording events, it becomes a good history book for those who seek to discover historical truth and influential social currents—... whenever they are at the same time as the art.
