Actually the first "black" artist's video on MTV was "1999" by Prince. The president of Epic records told the executives at MTV he would pull the videos from Epic artists from MTV if MTV didn't play "Billie Jean".
No one claimed he was the first black artist to het the play. MJ was the first black artist to get constant play. He took that local channel to international fame.

Well, what about that guy who sang Electric Avenue? I remember THAT song being quite a staple on MTV and other MV programs back in its early days, even before Jackson's Thriller, (which came out about 1983) and THAT guy was black as licorice. Also, early MTV Punk/NEW Wave era groups like The Specials (aka Fun Boy Three) and English Beat had BLACK MEMBERS. No, those GROUPS weren't exclusively black, but they were MIXED.
Well, if one is going to laud praise on THAT VIDEO then some creative credit also needs to go to TWO OTHER fellows named John Landis and Rick Baker, not JUST to Jackson.
Not true-there were lots of British artists on MTV early on who weren’t rockers. I’d say it was more a showcase for dance artists (i.e. disco). They didn’t go near R&B music until Thriller came out (and I tried).
And sadly Michel Jackson will be remembered, not for his talent but instead because an African American men obsessed with being white and finally became a king
You are the only one who remembers him like that. I am black and I am not interested in what he did to his body. It was his! I only care about his music. Michael has always loved transformation. Even before his surgeries he has displayed his penchant for body transformation. We all know he is not white ! Nobody is white anyway. Pink is not white!
Ohh you really is an idiot. He had universal vitiligo and lupus. He has done so much for the black community. You should stop being an idiot and do some damn research
@@finderkeeperrrs Did so much for the "black" community? By marrying two "white" women and adopting three "white" children. Michael Jackson was born and raised as a member of a "black" family who was immensely talented. Somewhere along the Michael Jackson died and Wacko Jacko took his place. GROWN MEN DON'T SLEEP WITH LITTLE "WHITE" BOYS. Name one "black" man walking the earth with tattooed hairline, tattooed eyebrows, tattooed eyeliner and those ridiculous "white" women's wigs. When Jackson dies he looked like "white" middle aged crackhead woman. Jackson did the "black" community no favors by constantly being caught in compromising positions with little "white" boys. Maybe YOUR family has no problems with grown men walking around in airports holding hands with a 10 year old "Little" Jimmy Safechuck.
@@finderkeeperrrs Enlighten us with your wisdom, Mr Shit For Brains: Care to explain the 47 Neverland Ranch employees complaint against Jackson? Don't bother lying about it, just Google it and see what's up with your chemically addicted saviour. And while you're at it, perhaps you could explain why only little "white" boy friends went on stage with him? The only one was that little Hobbit Emmanuel Lewis. By the way, vitiligo has nothing to do with Jackson's facial features.
the real black artist with the glow put racial white-only MTV music on put blast and showed em what wassup and 3 songs: "Billie Jean, Beat It and Thriller" from thriller (1983) it will be sincerly historical and respected by the king and respected.

What show is this ??
Well, if one is going to laud praise on THAT VIDEO then some creative credit also needs to go to TWO OTHER fellows named John Landis and Rick Baker, not JUST to Jackson.
Not true-there were lots of British artists on MTV early on who weren’t rockers. I’d say it was more a showcase for dance artists (i.e. disco). They didn’t go near R&B music until Thriller came out (and I tried).
2:44.
I wonder how he change from 1969 to 2009
What documentary is this ?? 🙏🏾
And sadly Michel Jackson will be remembered, not for his talent but instead because an African American men obsessed with being white and finally became a king
You are the only one who remembers him like that. I am black and I am not interested in what he did to his body. It was his! I only care about his music.
Michael has always loved transformation. Even before his surgeries he has displayed his penchant for body transformation. We all know he is not white ! Nobody is white anyway. Pink is not white!
Not true!
Ohh you really is an idiot. He had universal vitiligo and lupus. He has done so much for the black community. You should stop being an idiot and do some damn research
@@finderkeeperrrs Did so much for the "black" community? By marrying two "white" women and adopting three "white" children. Michael Jackson was born and raised as a member of a "black" family who was immensely talented. Somewhere along the Michael Jackson died and Wacko Jacko took his place.
GROWN MEN DON'T SLEEP WITH LITTLE "WHITE" BOYS.
Name one "black" man walking the earth with tattooed hairline, tattooed eyebrows, tattooed eyeliner and those ridiculous "white" women's wigs. When Jackson dies he looked like "white" middle aged crackhead woman.
Jackson did the "black" community no favors by constantly being caught in compromising positions with little "white" boys. Maybe YOUR family has no problems with grown men walking around in airports holding hands with a 10 year old "Little" Jimmy Safechuck.
@@finderkeeperrrs Enlighten us with your wisdom, Mr Shit For Brains: Care to explain the 47 Neverland Ranch employees complaint against Jackson?
Don't bother lying about it, just Google it and see what's up with your chemically addicted saviour.
And while you're at it, perhaps you could explain why only little "white" boy friends went on stage with him? The only one was that little Hobbit Emmanuel Lewis.
By the way, vitiligo has nothing to do with Jackson's facial features.
the real black artist with the glow put racial white-only MTV music on put blast and showed em what wassup and 3 songs: "Billie Jean, Beat It and Thriller" from thriller (1983) it will be sincerly historical and respected by the king and respected.
