Music History: Michael Jackson Premieres The Moonwalk on Motown 25

On March 25, 1983, Motown 25 was taped before a live studio audience at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in Pasadena, California. Michael reunited with his brothers Jackie, Marlon, Jermaine, Randy and Tito on stage for the first time in eight years for a medley of their greatest hits, "I Want You Back," "The Love You Save," "Never Can Say Goodbye," and "I'll Be There."As the other members of the Jackson 5 left the stage, Michael transitioned dramatically into his own solo spot. Widely hailed as Michael's breakthrough performance as a solo artist, he performed "Billie Jean", which at the time was in the middle of a seven-week run atop the Billboard Hot 100 music charts. This was also the first time he performed the famous, signature move, the moonwalk.  This was a pivotal performance in Michael's career and it cemented him as force to be reckoned with. So here is the clip of Michael wowing us with his Moonwalk for the first time enjoy!
