Released in 1995, Michael Jacksons Earth Song was unlike anything heard before in popular music. Protest songs had long been part of the heritage of rock - but not like this. Earth Songs vision was more panoramic, its roots more primal. Its unusual fusion of blues, opera, rock, and gospel resembled nothing on the radio. A massive hit globally, it wasnt even offered as a single in the United States. Most critics didnt know what to make of it. Yet decades later, it stands as one of Jacksons greatest artistic achievements. In this groundbreaking book, Joseph Vogel traces the songs evolution, from its inception in Vienna in 1988, to its long gestation in the recording studio, to Jacksons final rehearsal in 2009. Situating the song within the historical context of the Reagan, Bush and Clinton eras, the book also explores the artists broader humanitarian efforts, from his participation in USA for Africa to his Heal the World Foundation. Based on original research, including interviews with the songs key participants, Earth Song: Michael Jackson and the Art of Compassion offers a necessary reassessment of this powerful anthem and Jacksons audacious efforts to change the world.
