On March 25, 1983 there was a television special celebrating the 25th anniversary of Motown. It brought together many of the Motown stars singing some of their biggest hits and showcased the first time Michael Jackson "moonwalked", not to mention Diana Ross and the other supremes in a shoving match deleted from the taped show.
Motown 25 - Jackson Five Medley
Motown 25 - Michael Jackson - Billie Jean
Motown 25 - Four Tops Vs. Temptations
Motown 25 - Diana Ross - Supremes Medley
And then on March 25, 2001 - Along came Bjork attending the Oscars - The swan made such an impression that few remember that her nominated "Best Song" was from her musical "Dancer In The Dark".

Ah yes, the Motown Sound - love it! I have always enjoyed bands that can harmonize together and The Temptations have always been one of the best!
Some darned fine music has come out of Motown - darned fine!
Motown rules... Bjork, not so much for me
Well it was sort of Bjork's "Swan Song". She pretty well disappeared after this movie sank into the dust bin of cinematic history.
I remember watching that special and appreciating that the Jackson 5 actually performed live, but then wondering why MJ lip synced his solo performance.
But that aside, that was a special show.
Travis - because he was unveiling the Moonwalk for all the world to see and needed his stamina for the dancing.
My high school boyfriend and I watched that special together in his family's TV room, and we were both freaked out when Michael Jackson moonwalked that first time. And trust me - my boyfriend was a cool cat musician who did not easily freak out.
Jamie - LOVED the Temptations/Four Tops showdown!
