Dancing The Dream

麥可傑克森 (1958 - 2009)

　　‘People ask me how I make music. I tell them I just step into it. It’s like stepping into a river and joining the flow. Every moment in the river has its song. So, I stay in the moment and listen.’
MICHAEL JACKSON (1958 – 2009)

　　'We have lost a genius and a true ambassador of not only Pop music but of all music.'
　　- Justin Timberlake
 
　　'The incomparable Michael Jackson has made a bigger impact on music than any other artist in the history of music. He was magic. He was what we all strive to be.'
　　- Beyonce

　　 'Just as there will never be another Fred Astaire or Chuck Berry or Elvis Presley, there will never be anyone comparable to Michael Jackson. His talent, his wonderment and his mystery make him legend.'
　　- Steven Spielberg

　　 'He has been an inspiration throughout my entire life and I’m devasted he’s gone.'
　　-Britney Spears

　　Dancing the Dream is one man’s hauntingly beautiful, provocatively personal view of the world around us, and the universe within each of us. Whether his prose and poetry focussed on creativity, the people that surrounded him, or the plight of the noble elephant, his observations and concerns all illustrated his belief that trust, love and faith are the foundation stones for a life well lived.

　　Containing Michael Jackson’s personal writings and over one hundred glorious photographs, drawings, and paintings from his own collection, this book is a must have for all fans of an incredible, inspiring man who died as he lived – dancing his dream.

　　*Reissue of Michael Jackson’s second book, first published in 1992.
