128-Page Book of Tributes & Memories from Friends and Fans Worldwide

ATLANTA, July 2 /PRNewswire/ -- He was named "The Most Successful Entertainer of All Time" by The Guinness Book of World Records.

He was crowned the "King of Pop" by critics, colleagues and legions of fans.

So great was his musical genius that he sold more than 750 million records, including the best-selling album of all time, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame not once but twice.

These and other superlatives come together with the publication today of "Michael Jackson: The World Says Goodbye to the King of Pop," a 128- page book of tributes and memories from those who knew him best alongside the voices of average people from around the globe who were touched by the late music icon.

In 65 poignant, historic photographs from Michael's earliest days with the Jackson 5 to his very last public appearance on March 5, 2009 in London, the full sweep of the remarkable story of Michael Jackson is memorialized.

All four decades of Jackson's career are here: early black-and-white photos show us the smiling ten-year old we fell in love with; live concert photography from the 1980s and '90s captures the King in his prime; and exceptional photojournalism from the days following Michael's death chronicles the spontaneous outpouring of fans in cities around the globe.
