Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever aired on NBC and was a celebration of Motown Records' twenty-fifth anniversary. Organised by Suzanne De Passe, the event was to feature all of the most popular Motown acts, both past and present. The Motown stars were to reunite for one evening, to pay tribute to Berry Gordy and acknowledge his effect on their lives. Left alone on stage Michael Jackson addressed the audience and then went into his routine. He wore black pants, leather penny loafers a black sequin jacket, and a single white rhinestone glove. He then executed a move which many claim to have sealed his status as a pop icon forever. It was the first time Michael Jackson had performed the moonwalk in public; he had practiced it in his kitchen prior to the show. Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever was watched by over 52 million people and Michael Jackson's routine earned him an Emmy nomination for this iconic performance. The day after the show aired, Michael Jackson was called by his childhood idol Fred Astaire, who commended the singer. Another childhood idol, Sammy Davis Jr., had admired Michael Jackson's black sequined jacket during the performance and later received it as a gift. It was reported that the black sequin jacket Michael wore for the show actually belonged to his mother Katherine.

Mega-star Michael Jackson starred in five Pepsi Cola commercials aired in the Soviet Union to an audience of 150,000,000 people from May 17 to 23rd. The commercials were seen during a week-long series called "Posner In America" hosted by Vladimir Posner, Russian journalist/broadcaster.

This makes Michael Jackson became the first non-Soviet to be featured while advertising a product on Russian television. According to pop music historian Dmitry Babich, "Video culture was not very developed in Russia, there were very few VCRs. Michael Jackson became a legend without people seeing him a lot.
"So when Russian television became liberalized, young kids of 17, 18, 19 years of age wanted to watch only him." A spokesman for Pepsi stated that the Soviet officials asked specifically for Michael Jackson's commercials.
