Watch Michael Jackson from his younger days narrated by James Earl Jones (a voice that adds the umf to the story). The songs are not full length, documentary like, but a good biography of his life. Inspirational, the way you would like to remember him (without the BS of those that try to cash in on his fame by being negative and bringing him down). See the reason why his concerts are sold out where ever he goes. If you love watching MJ then this is a must have to add to your collection.

I really really love this video. I've loved michael jackson since the mid 80's when I was a toddler but didn't discover this home video until about 1997 when my teacher brought it to class and I was enchanted by it and got myself a copy. It gives an amazing look at michael's music from the jackson 5 up to the Bad tour. It shows lots of clips of the jackson 5 performing and michael jackson mania overall. I wish more footage of the Bad era was shown, but overall it shows what a great musician, dancer, singer, songwriter, producer, actor, choreographer and kind hearted, loving humanitarian he is. It's a shame that the world wants to believe horrible and untrue things about him. Buy this video and you'll get a taste of the REAL Michael Jackson and what he's really all about. Michael will NEVER be forgotten, the legend continues!

There is no better documentary about Michael Jackson. This was perfectly produced and masterly narrated. I've yet to see a portrail of Michael's life that is more inspirational. The words from Michael's wise old friends are so poignant: Katherine Hepburn, Sofia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, Gene Kelley, Sammy Davis Jr., and Fred Astaire's choreographer; they too are all in awe of this amazing performer and humanitarian. But my favorite sequence is the one put to "We're Here to Entertain You", the song that no one talks about but is absolutely beautiful and deeply personal to Michael Jackson. Yes, God put him here not only to entertain us, but more importantly he's a philosopher who has risen to prominence because of his show-buisness talents.

I remember watching this exact video back when I was 6 or 7 and being so moved by it that I shed tears. Just now, after discovering it after god knows how many years (8 I think), I watched it again giving me a sentimental feeling.

A good biography of the living legend of popular music, from his auditioning days to his very first appearance on stage, to Epic, and to Thriller. You get to know the man as well as the musician with interviews from a number of those who knew him such as Elizabeth Taylor, Suzanne De Passe, Sophia Lauren and his brother Johnny Jackson. Narrated by actor James Earl Jones, 'The Legend Continues' is an interesting view of phenomenon who is none other then Michael Jackson.

I had this video for such a long time and had to watch it again for old times sake. MJ is really a great person! I don't understand y they always have to be beasting on him and stuff. MJ is a legend and we should all still love him no matter how he looks. He will always be the greatest singer of all time!

This Living Legend proves why he is the true undisputed King of Pop. From his earlier days of leading the Jackson Five to the top of the charts through his record-breaking solo career, you will witness the magic of the finest performer of our time at his very best. Let his love of music and dance inspire you, as you watch the Legend continue...

I REMEMBER WATCHING MOTOWN 25 AS A KID AND BEIND IN AWE OVER THE WHOLE "BILLIE JEAN" PERFORMANCE. SINCE THEN, I'VE BEEN A MICHAEL FAN AND WILL ALWAYS BE ONE. THE MUSIC THIS MAN HAS GIVEN THE WORLD CAN EASILY BE CREDITED AS UNIQUE. MICHAEL WAS A STYLE LEADER AND HIS SINGING AND DANCING CAN BE DESCRIBED IN ONE WORD, "TRADEMARK". I WILL CONTINUE TO BE A THRILLER ERA MICHAEL FAN BECAUSE I GREW UP DURING THAT TIME AND NOTHING WAS MORE MAGICAL THEN SEEING MICHAEL. MY 1 AND 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTERS LOVE HIS MUSIC AND PERFORMANCE FOOTAGE AAS WELL...

Excellent quality for VHS. Some new information and videos about MJ that I enjoyed learning about and seeing. I would recommend this video for anyone, esp. MJ fans.

I didn't even know that this tape existed. It was so refreshing to watch a documentary about Michael that was uplifting and positive. Of course it is dated since it was made back in the late 1980's but it is still a treasure for any MJ fan!
