Girl Whirl - Precious Pupp (1966)

Billie Jean is from the album Thriller (1982), the best-selling album in history, but the moment that eternalized the track was the solo performance in the special Motown 25 recorded on March 25, 1983. Michael Jackson, only 24, hardly wanted to participate in the show. Berry Gordy had to insist a lot. He chose "Billie Jean" because he thought the other tracks from when he was younger didn't match his new style. Michael performed the song with impeccable choreography and, in the middle of the track, debuted the moonwalk for the first time on world television, a step he had learned from street dancers years earlier.

This performance changed the history of music: it was the moment when Michael stopped being "the boy of the Jackson 5" and became the King of Pop. The special was shown in May 1983 and seen by more than 47 million people, to this day it is considered one of the greatest live performances of all time.

No Rain was initially not going to be a single, radio stations started playing the track a lot and forced the release.

The video, directed by Samuel Bayer (the same as Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit"), features the iconic Bee Girl.

RIP Ted Turner

Without him buying JCP and turning it into WCW, we wouldn't have had any real challenge to the WWF, no Monday Night War and no nWo

"I've been involved in the wrestling business since we started televising it back in '73... and it's a real pleasure to be really in it now"
