Motown 25: yesterday, Today, and Forever.

On March 25, 1983 Michael performed on Motown 25; Yesterday, Today, And Forever, Singing with his brothers and singing Billie Jean by himself. Here he debuted his signature dance move, THE MOONWALK. This performance was seen by 47 MILLION viewers during its intial airing and he drew comparisons to Elvis and the Beatles. New York Times Says, "The moonwalk that he made famous is an apt metaphor for his dance style. How does he do it? As a technician he is a great illusionist, a genuine mime. His ability to keep one leg straight as he glides while the other bends seems to walk requires PERFECT TIMING."
