83 Minutes: The Doctor, the Damage, and the Shocking Death of Michael Jackson
by Matt Richards Mark LangthorneA definitive look at Michael Jackson's final minutes, revealing for the first time the shocking details behind the tragic death of one of the world's biggest pop stars.On June 25th, 2009, the world was rocked by the tragic news that Michael Jackson—the biggest and most influential music icon since Elvis Presley—had died. He was only 50 years old when paramedics pronounced him dead on arrival at a Los Angeles hospital. For weeks after his death, speculation and rumor abounded concerning the drugs in Jackson’s system and the role Conrad Murray, the singer’s personal physician, had played in the his death. In 2011, Murray was tried and convicted of involuntary manslaughter, for which he served two years in prison.Now, for the first time, readers have access to a comprehensive and truly horrifying account of the crucial moments leading up to Jackson’s demise. Drawing on court documents and testimonials, 83 Minutes presents a multi-perspective tracking of every individual involved and the part they played as the tragedy unfolded, examining forensically the mystery of the 83 minutes that elapsed from the moment Dr. Murray suggested he found Jackson not breathing to the moment the singers' lifeless body was wheeled into hospital.Evenhanded and unbiased, Matt Richards and Mark Langthorne’s account is rich with detail, including the specific cocktail of drugs employed in an attempt to keep Jackson alive and the harrowing conditions in which the troubled genius’s life ended. Included as well is the story of the legal struggle for control of Jackson’s assets that followed his death where Richards and Langthorne report that “the combined earnings of Jay Z, Taylor Swift, and Kanye West since Michael Jackson died come nowhere near the revenues Jackson has earned for his estate after his death.”Written with documentary flair, this powerful and compelling book is already emerging as the definitive account of one of the darkest hours in music history.
80s Chart-Toppers: Every Chart-Topper Tells a Story
by Sharon DavisThe '80s were a decade of musical change. As the '70s disco stranglehold was broken, rock, gay, dance and pop music competed with funk and soul, romantic ballads and political protest, computerised music and controversy. The glamour of costume, greasepaint and cross-dressing was put to good use by New Romantic groups like Spandau Ballet, Duran Duran, Soft Cell, Culture Club and the Human League, while the world also looked to Britain for the most exciting pop acts such as the multi-million-selling Wham!, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Eurythmics and the Pet Shop Boys. Mainstream dance music was at its peak, spearheaded by Stock, Aitken and Waterman, and their stable of artists, including Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan and Rick Astley, were all chart-topping names. From the USA came the artist of the decade, Michael Jackson, while Madonna and Whitney Houston provided the 'Girl Power' of the '80s. The decade also saw the philanthropic side of the music industry as the stars responded to famine in Ethiopia with the charity records 'Do They Know It's Christmas?' and 'We Are The World'. The'80s catered for all musical tastes, no matter how bizarre, and was far more eclectic than any other decade. From bubble-gum pop with Bucks Fizz to the stadium rock of Simple Minds,'80s Chart-Toppers brings a comprehensive year-by-year, month-by-month guide to the hottest sounds of the decade.

60 Songs That Explain the '90s
by Rob HarvillaNAMED A BEST MUSIC BOOK OF 2023 by PITCHFORK, VARIETY, AND ROLLING STONE A companion to the #1 music podcast on Spotify, this book takes readers through the greatest hits that define a weirdly undefinable decade. The 1990s were a chaotic and gritty and utterly magical time for music, a confounding barrage of genres and lifestyles and superstars, from grunge to hip-hop, from sumptuous R&B to rambunctious ska-punk, from Axl to Kurt to Missy to Santana to Tupac to Britney. In 60 SONGS THAT EXPLAIN THE '90s, Ringer music critic Rob Harvilla reimagines all the earwormy, iconic hits Gen Xers pine for with vivid historical storytelling, sharp critical analysis, rampant loopiness, and wryly personal ruminations on the most bizarre, joyous, and inescapable songs from a decade we both regret entirely and miss desperately.
60 años de rock mexicano. Vol. 2: 1980-1989
by Sr. GonzálezEl rock es un producto de su tiempo, es una necedad arraigada hasta el tuétano de quien lo goza. En este segundo volumen, el Sr. González nos entrega un retrato excepcional, que proviene tanto de su experiencia como músico como de una extensa y sesuda investigación, de la escena del rock mexicano en la que quizá ha sido su década más fructífera y apasionante: la década de los ochenta. Durante esos geniales y convulsos años, México atravesó por cambios profundos que también dejaron su huella en la música. Fueron tiempos de apertura en los que el rock nacional forjó una voz y ritmo propios; la esencia de aquella música rebelde y adolescente que llegó a México en 1956 encontró en los ochenta su carta de naturalización. A esta época corresponden músicos y bandas icónicos como Rockdrigo González, El Tri, Botellita de Jerez, Maldita Vecindad y los Hijos del Quinto Patio, Caifanes, Café Tacvba, Fobia, entre muchas otras agrupaciones que cantaron con fuerza sus letras y tocaron sus guitarras con estruendo. A todas ellas y más, este libro les dedica una breve y apasionante crónica junto con un análisis musical
60 años de rock mexicano: Vol. 1: 1956-1979
by Rafael González VillegasEl rock es un producto de su tiempo, es una necedad arraigada hasta el tuétano de quien lo goza. El rock es un adolescente cuyo espíritu se niega a envejecer. Se debate entre la forma y el contenido, entre el goce y la conciencia. Es como una vedete que se regodea ante el espejo y luego, en soledad, se pregunta quién es. El rock mexicano cumple 60 años, y Rafael González narra esta leyenda construyendo una máquina del tiempo llena de nostalgia y canciones entrañables, acompañadas por las fotografías de Fernando Aceves. Este es el primero de dos volúmenes que narran la historia del movimiento roquero nacional. Aquí se cuentan tres décadas míticas: los años cincuenta, los vertiginosos sesenta y el tropel de los setenta.
