Michael Jackson is one of the greatest entertainers of all time. We all know that.His showmanship, stage-presence, iconic dance-moves and the ability to engage a crowd of thousands all on his own – are unprecedented and unparalleled.
But what is also remarkable about the King Of Pop, is his versatility and uniqueness as a vocalist and the ability to put raw emotion through his bold and startling style of singing that showed influences of RnB, Gospel and Rock . With a massive vocal range of almost 4 octaves, filled with his trademark vocal hiccups, soulful exclamations, grunts and growls – Michael Jackson created a sound that was so distinctive that it still shines vividly above the countless imitators it created.
So, what better way to appreciate Michael’s “eargasmic” vocals than to hear isolated vocal tracks of his classics.
