The Other Michael Jackson

Director Patrick Nation's First Cut film is a pop curio: an extraordinary account of the extraordinary genesis of the 1978 chart hit "Blame It On The Boogie": "This is the story of two men with the same name, performing the same song, hitting the charts in the same week, staying in the same hotel and appearing on the same edition of Top of the Pops." The men in question were the King of Pop and Yorkshireman Mick Jackson, who had actually written the song, and the press called the chaos that ensued the Battle of the Boogie.
