UK Radio Alert! - 29/12/08 - Michael Jackson: 30 at 50

[MJMThriller]

If a Michael Jackson fan were to be granted one wish aside from "see him perform again", this programme would be it. Former Motown stable-mate Lionel Richie runs through 30 of Jackson's bestselling singles now that he's turned 50 (Madonna, Prince and Motown are given the same treatment throughout the week).

It's a dazzling, finger-drumming three hours with stellar talking-heads, including Cher, Beyonce and Bette Midler, who explain Jackson's unequalled vision as an all-round entertainer, while producers such as Quincy Jones give background to the songs. Thrilling!

Tell you all in advance, so you don't miss it! :cheeky:

It's on Radio 2 at 2pm. You can listen to it here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/

I thought 29th December 2008 sounded odd. If that's the date it's being broadcast than I'll also record it.

Great show so far.

Yes, I'm totally enjoying the show thus far.

But I'm just wondering why this is happening NOW? How did this come about? I'm just thinking that is a great way to "begin" promotion on any NEW MJ projects.

They are doing a Madonna: 30 at 50 too

 

[Big Apple2]
