Park red leather zipper jacket made famous in his Beat It video which airs 11 days later on MTV from his album (Billy Jean premiered on March 10th) Five days after this photo was taken, Micheal performed on Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever, a tv special which, when it aired on May 16th, introduces the world to the Moonwalk.
