Burford Field 2019

 * I have less than 3 days with this book bc ILL so I am only summarizing anything relevant to MJ's and this article.

Schwerin
This entire source is questionable. Unsure what to use from it, if anything.

Burford 2019: "The book is not without merit, drawing on interviews that Schwerin conducted with Jackson for the purpose of making a documentary film. Beyond Jackson, Schwerin's principal sources are two figures that were particularly close to the singer early in her career. Brother John Sellers and Studs Terkel. Commendably, the author devotes considerable attention to Jackson's longitme accompanist Mildred Falls. Over the course of the book, however, Schwerin's credibility crumbles in the face of an often misguided, shoot-from-the-hip representation of Jackson and her character... Schwerin's paternalistic tone and blithe comfort with making things up as he goes along--because his book, now a quarter of a century old, is the most recent monograph on Jackson..." (pp. 18-19)
