Music
Episode 15 will focus largely on two giants of black pop in the '80s--Michael Jackson and Prince. For Jackson, the emphasis will (naturally) be on the album Thriller. For the more complex Prince, the greatest attention will be paid to the Purple Rain album and film. We'll also make a fairly extended side trip to investigate the coming of age of one of the greatest competitors for the hearts and dollars of music fans in the '80s--Madonna.
