Ep. 327: Janet Jackson Documentary Review

What this episode covers

Over a 5 year period, Janet Jackson collaborated with Worker Bee Films to produce a documentary on her life and career, which aired on Lifetime / A&E. Janet is a consummate artist, whose soothing vocals, darling smile, and sheer determination has cultivated a remarkable journey to becoming a superstar. In this episode, I review the documentary, share personal stories relating to her music over the decades, and rediscover the magic of my first celebrity crush in the process.
