This two-disc set concentrates on Michael Jackson's solo recordings from the early '70s, including "Got to Be There," "Rockin' Robin," and "Ben," as well as a handful of Jackson 5 singles from the same era like "I Want You Back" and "Never Can Say Goodbye." It's fun stuff, but of course it doesn't include anything from Jackson's late-'80s run as the biggest thing in pop music when he was releasing Quincy Jones-produced singles like "Billie Jean," "Beat It," "Thriller," and "Bad." But don't let that stop you, because the early stuff is pretty cool, too, and much more endearing.
