By James Ziebarth

Gary, Indiana, would change forever on August 29, 1958. That is the day that Michael Jackson made his debut. Michael was born into performing. His daddy, Joseph Walter Jackson performed with The Falcons, an Rhythm & Blues band. His mommy, Katherine Esther Scruse was a God fearing Jehovah's Witness. Although he had limited success, Joseph would find celebrity and fortune on the backs of his children.

Joseph Jackson wasted little time achieving vicariously through his children. Joseph turned his sons into performers and started a family band. Michael Jackson and his brother Marlon would join this group in 1964. Michael was only 8 years young when he began singing backup vocals and dancing. Michael and Marlon quickly became lead singers and the band was named The Jackson Five.

Skipping to 1982, Jacko released his second album, Thriller. It would become the most commercially successful album of all times. Thriller remained in the Billboard 200 for an astonishing 80 consecutive weeks. Thriller was certified for 28 million shipments by RIAA, earning it Double Diamond status. World wide sales were estimated at 47 million to 109 million copies.

Michael Jackson was not content to only be a musician. In 1988, he added the title of writer to his repetoir. He released his first autobiography, Moon Walk. Moon Walk took him four years to complete. The book sold over 200,000 copies.

In 1988, Michael Jackson purchased land near Santa Ynez, California. On this land, he built world famous Neverland Ranch. Jacko spent a total of $17 million on Neverland Ranch. He installed Ferris wheels, a zoo, and a movie theatre. He also hired over 40 security officers. In 2003 it would be appraised for a whopping $100 million.

In 1993, Jackson's first case of accused child sexual abuse surfaced. The accusers were a 13 year old boy names Jordan Chandler and his father, Evan Chandler. On January, 1, 1994, Jackson would settle with the Chandler's out of court for $22 million. Jackson was never charged in this case due to lack of evidence by the state.

In May 1994 Jackson was married for the first time to Lisa Marie Presley, the daughter of Elvis Presley. Jackson and Presley's marriage was short lived, and would end in a divorce 2 years later. They would still remain friends after the divorce.

Simple Do-it-Yourself Earbud Earphones Cleaning

Sinatra Swings To A Bossa Nova Beat

By David Glisan

One of the frequently heard criticisms of Frank Sinatras work is that he was essentially a one trick pony. He is often accused of not being a technically adept vocalist, and simply reworking a formula over and over again. While Sinatra certainly knew what worked for him, and what kind of songs and arrangements he liked this assertion is patently unfair and displays a profound ignorance of the entire body of his work. If you dig deeper in the Sinatra oeuvre, youll find some amazing examples of vocal prowess. Perhaps his best work in this regard came from his collaboration with legendary Brazilian guitarist Antonio Carlos Jobim.

Jobim is often credited with popularizing Bossa Nova music outside of Brazil. He worked with Sinatra on an album of samba tinged standards entitled Francis Albert Sinatra and Antonio Carlos Jobim. The work was a critical and commercial success, and Sinatra would hold Jobim in very high regard for the rest of his life"both as a musician and as a friend. After Jobim entered a semi-retirement in the 1970s and 1980s where he did little collaboration with other artists, Sinatra would often introduce his performances of Jobim songs live by remembering his Brazilian colleague in very fond terms or expressing the hope that the two men could work together in the future.

"Wave", written by Jobim and arranged by Eumir Deodato, is perhaps the finest of their collective work. It features some magnificent technical singing by Sinatra, including what are the lowest notes ever recorded by "The Chairman of the Board". For the rest of his life Sinatra enjoyed listening to 'Wave just to hear how good he sounds hitting the bass notes.

This song originally intended as the opening track of a second volume of Sinatra/Jobim collaborations, but it was never released as such. The story that has circulated over the years is that the Sinatra/Jobim album put on the back burner so that Reprise could release the concept album "Watertown" instead. As an commercial decision, it's tough to fathom the rationale if this is the case. "Watertown" sold fewer copies than any other Sinatra release on Reprise. Another story is that Sinatra himself nixed the release because he hated the cover art which featured the 'King of Swingers' wearing a windbreaker and standing in front of a Greyhound bus. Hard to blame him for disliking that image if this version of the story is true.

"Wave", along with the majority of the songs intended for the "Sinatra/Jobim" album finally surfaced on "Sinatra and Company" in 1970. The "b" side is some of Sinatra's ill-fated attempts to cover popular songs of the day ("Close To You", It's Not Easy Being Green", "Leaving On A Jet Plane"). These are recordings that even the most devoted Sinatra-philes collect for the sake of completing a collection only, and a stark contrast to the masterful work with Jobim on the album's "A" side. "Wave" also appeared on the Reprise box set and of course of the "Complete Reprise Recordings" suitcase collection.

Will Friedwald, in his definitive book on Sinatra's music "Sinatra: The Song Is You" described the singer's work with Jobim as having "flexibility and delicacy, as if they could be blown about by a soft Brazilian breeze". This sensual and sultry song, in particular, is among the finest vocal work of Sinatra's amazing career. - 18758
