Yashi Brown is a poetess and singer/songwriter born into the legendary Jackson family. Her book Black Daisy in a White Limousine: 77 Poems, a collection of poems eloquently chronicling life’s triumphs and challenges, was released by Periwinkle Press on Jan. 27, 2011.
Yashi has been blessed with a devoted family. Her parents, Nathaniel Brown and Rebbie Jackson Brown are headed towards their golden wedding anniversary. Her brother, Austin, and sister Stacy are musicians in their own right. Yashi also sang background on Rebbie’s album, “Yours Faithfully” and was introduced on the big screen at the tender age of 5 in her mother’s hit song and music video, “Centipede”.
Realizing how much of a necessity it was as an emotional release, Yashi began taking her poetry very seriously in her early teens. Always staying at the forefront, it would naturally play a key role years to come in her musical journey. For a brief time Yashi and her sister Stacy were signed to their Uncle Michael Jackson’s MJJ recording label under Sony Music. Later, they dissolved their band, but continued as writing partners. More recently in the last 3 years Chicago’s Studio 11 would prove to be a second home for Yashi as a solo artist having recorded many unreleased songs some of which are featured in her 77 poems.

Raised in the spotlight and yet a recluse, the legendary Jackson was a perfect subject for Ron Galella, the godfather of paparazzi. Galella shot Michael from his early days in the Jackson 5, right up until his death in 2009. Finding intimate moments with the star offstage, he captured candid portraits of the man behind the mask. He was able to find the personal side of Michael with his many celebrity friends, his family and Bubbles. This inimitable body of work is a lasting tribute to his life.

Bruce Swedien In the Studio with Michael Jackson
The inside secrets of Michael Jackson’s greatest records by the Grammy-winning engineer who captured and enhanced their sound. Multiple color photos of Jackson, producer Quincy Jones, and all the talents who collaborated to make pop history with Jackson’s albums. Plucked from a job at legendary Universal Audio in Chicago, Bruce Swedien entered into a fruitful and historic 30-year relationship with producer Quincy Jones.
That partnership culminated in the groundbreaking recordings of Michael Jackson, beginning with The Wiz, continuing with Jackson’s breakout solo debut Off the Wall, and triumphing with Thriller, which revolutionized music and video and fixed Jackson in culture as the King of Pop.
Now Swedien reveals the technical details of creating those albums (along with Bad, Dangerous, and HIStory) and offers personal remembrances and anecdotes about working with the pop icon. Swedien’s book provides an insider’s look that will thrill anyone interested in the nuts and bolts of hit making and the history of some of America’s most influential recordings. *
