Overview
“You've Got Michael” tells the inside story of the high-stakes battle to save Michael Jackson's career and market his 1995 greatest hits album, HIStory, as documented by the record executive closest to him.
While detailing the inner workings of the music business at its mega-platinum peak, “You've Got Michael” is also a gripping drama about working with a global talent through the most difficult time in his career.
While detailing the inner workings of the music business at its mega-platinum peak, “You've Got Michael” is also a gripping drama about working with a global talent through the most difficult time in his career.
In 1991, Dan Beck -- a senior marketing executive at Epic Records in New York -- became Michael Jackson's product manager, with direct responsibility for the artist's record packaging, publicity, videos, retail strategy and contact with the label. The story he tells here is of the five years in that role, dealing with Jackson's unchecked ambition, surprising need for reassurance and increasing challenges to his career, many of them self-induced. Beck recounts his often surprising (if sometimes dismaying) experiences with clear-eyed objectivity, seeing Jackson as both a superstar and a real person.
