Having spent most of the `90s laying low, Michael Jackson spent much of the latter part of 2001 reintroducing himself to the public with a studio album (INVINCIBLE) and deluxe reissues of his Epic Records canon. Also released was GREATEST HITS: HIStory VOL.1, essentially Disc 1 of the similarly named 2-CD 1995 anthology HIStory: PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE BOOK 1. Regardless of how obvious the strategy of flooding the market with past and present material may have been, there`s no denying how the contents of the GREATEST HITS package go a long way towards supporting the moniker of the self-proclaimed King Of Pop. Amid rumors of rampant eccentricities, MJ plowed ahead crafting memorable numbers ranging from infectious dance numbers ("Wanna Be Starting` Somethin`," "Don`t Stop `Til You Get Enough") to heartfelt pleas for peace ("Black Or White", "Heal The World"). Jacko`s pure chart dominance found him breaking MTV`s glass ceiling of color behind the THRILLER juggernaut and its slew of smashes: - "Billie Jean," "The Girl Is Mine" (with Paul McCartney"), "Thriller," and "Beat It" with its blistering Eddie Van Halen guitar solo-cum-crossover hook. Thankfully, the greatness of this 15-track set supersedes any tabloid innuendo. Track Listing: DISC 1 Billie Jean Way You Make Me Feel, The Black or White Rock With You She`s Out of My Life Bad I Just Can`t Stop Loving You Man in the Mirror Thriller Beat It Girl Is Mine, The Remember the Time Don`t Stop `Til You Get Enough Wanna Be Startin` Somethin` Heal the World Album Information
