Trivial Tuesday

In the 1980's, no artist was as successful or as much of a cultural phenomenon as Michael Jackson. Whether wearing a single glove or performing his signature dance, the moonwalk, Jackson was sure to spark imitators. The moonwalk debuted in 1983 at the Motown 25 concert during a performance of what Michael Jackson hit?

Congratulations to Invisible Lizard who remembered that it was Billie Jean. Coincidentally, I saw a show on VH1 this weekend (i.e. after posting the question and after it was answered) where they mentioned the very first moonwalk.

I want to say Billy Jean without further admitting that I remember seeing him on TV back then doing the moonwalk to that song. Can't say for sure it was the song he used to premiere the move, though.
