The film takes the audience from the beginning of Jackson's career at age 16 to the present day, where Jackson still tours and features never-before-seen film of Jackson's concerts with rock icons Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Johnny Cash, and Jerry Lee Lewis. Producers/Directors: Vincent Kralyevich and Joanne Fish.
