Giveaway: 'Motown 25 - Yesterday, Today, Forever' Deluxe Edition 6-DVD Set
Aug. 26, 2014
On May 16, 1983, a special honoring the 25th anniversary of Motown Records aired on NBC featuring Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross and the Supremes, the Temptations and the Four Tops. This cast of future Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees would have been more than enough to carry the weight of the broadcast, but then Michael Jackson had to go and sing "Billie Jean," and during the guitar break, dug out an old but largely unknown dance move that made him appear to be gliding backwards while walking. The crowd went absolutely ballistic and the move would define Jackson's on-stage presence going forward, and every career retrospective would feature excerpts from the performance, which was broadcast as Motown 25 – Yesterday, Today, Forever.
Now, for the first time, the special is available on digital home media, and we're giving away a copy of the six-disc deluxe edition (there will also be three-disc and single-disc versions available at retail) to one lucky AllMusic reader. Read on to find out how to enter for a chance win.
