This is an intimate, loving portrait of Michael Jackson,
illuminating the private man like never before; now fully revised
and updated to include the trial of Dr. Conrad Murray. 'Let the boy
sing if he wants to sing!' said Mama Martha. 'You want to sing,
Michael?' Michael's five-year-old face lit up. In the front room,
Joseph begrudgingly turned on the music. Jackie, Tito and I stood
to one side to let him have his moment. What he produced stunned
everyone. This was Michael, shy but confident, knowing exactly what
to do. He played the mic, he worked the floor; he sang beautifully.
I didn't know where that voice came from. 'Heaven,' said Mother.
Now in paperback, an intimate, loving portrait of Michael
Jackson--Jermaine Jackson illuminates the private man like never
before and offers unrivaled access into a rarefied world. Jermaine
Jackson--older than Michael by four years--offers a keenly observed
memoir tracing his brother's life starting from their shared
childhood and extending through the Jackson 5 years, Michael's
phenomenal solo career, his loves, his suffering, and his tragic
end. It is a sophisticated, no-holds-barred examination of the man,
aimed at fostering a true and final understanding of who he was,
what he was, and what shaped him. Jermaine knows the real Michael
as only a brother can. In this raw, honest, and poignant account,
he reveals Michael the private person, not Michael "the King of
Pop." He doesn't flinch from tackling the tough issues: the torrid
press, the scandals, the allegations, the court cases, the internal
politics, the ill-fated This Is It tour, and the disturbing
developments in the days leading up to Michael's death. But where
previous works have presented only thin versions of a media
construct, he provides a rare glimpse into the complex heart, mind,
and soul of a brilliant but sometimes troubled entertainer. As a
witness to history on the inside, Jermaine is the only person
qualified to deliver the real Michael and reveal what made him
tick, his private opinions and unseen emotions through the most
headline-making episodes of his life. Now with an emotional
afterword addressing 2011's dramatic Conrad Murray trial, this
biography is filled with keen insight, rich anecdotes, and
behind-the-scenes detail. You Are Not Alone is the book for any
true Michael Jackson fan and for anyone trying to make sense of the
artist whose death was so premature.
