Dan Beck on Michael Jackson 10-27-2025

In 1991, Dan Beck became Michael Jackson's main marketing contact at Epic Records. For five rollercoaster years, he was immersed in a world of unequalled stardom, dealing with the outsized ambition, whims and idiosyncrasies of the world's most famous entertainer. It was a pivotal point in Jackson's career. His last album had failed to repeat the record-shattering success of Thriller. Rumors about his personal life and his eccentricities had made him the subject of gossip and accusations. Tabloids had begun calling him "Wacko Jacko." "You've Got Michael" tells the story of the high-stakes battle to save Jackson's career and market his 1995 greatest hits album, as told by the record executive closest to him. Dan joined Mike Pomp on the Morning Information Center to talk about the new book about MJ.
