Perhaps one of the most memorable music video I watched when I was young was Michael Jackson's Billie Jean
.
I recall staying up on Friday nights and watching Night Tracks on TBS with my parents. Sometimes I would watch the music videos while my parents hosted parties.
It was the early 1980s and I remember my excitement watching rock stars perform their songs on Night Tracks. From then on, as others did, I associated songs I heard on the radio with the music video I watched either on TBS or MTV.
So what caught my attention about Billie Jean? I think it was the sidewalk tiles that would light up as Michael Jackson walked over them. For years I thought sidewalks would light up only for MJ, and that he could magically make himself disappear. When I was young, almost every boy wanted to be like MJ.
Do expect more commentary on MJ music videos on future blogs.
