A Michael Jackson Bibliography

I'm by no means an expert on Michael Jackson, but I thought I might take a stab at assembling a short bibliography of Michael Jackson studies. As with the blog compendium (blogiography?), suggestions are enthusiastically welcomed. Obviously there is a ton of writing on Jackson by journalists and fans. In my own work on pop music, I find such writings invaluable. But since they are easy enough to find, I won't include them here unless it is a real touchstone of the literature, e.g. Margo Jefferson's book. I'm also not including the standard pop music histories that might (should!) include useful stuff as well; the following list is comprised of academic works primarily devoted to Michael Jackson ETA: Now updated thanks to the help of commenter Ruyi

Hmm, that was kind of less than I thought it would be. Help me out! I did see, however, lots of ongoing work on Michael Jackson out there, especially by graduate students. Hopefully some of that work will see the light of day soon.
