t would be challenging to tell Michael Jackson's story in only one hour (Hourly History's books). However, they did a great job of covering the major points. I was surprised that the author did not mention Michael's terrible hair accident (it caught on fire during a Pepsi commercial). It was probably just as well that Joe Jackson's appalling behavior after Michael's death (he talked about HIS projects {Joe's}, not the sadness of Michael's passing).

I was a bit surprised that there was no mention of Michael's business acumen. He left a safe filled with 600 songs. Of course, music styles change over time, but I've never heard that anyone has released any of Michael's stockpile of unpublished music.
