Michael first sporting the single white rhinestone glove in 1981?

I was looking at the 1981 Jet magazine cover with Michael:

And he is wearing the soon-to-be iconic single rhinestone glove. I had believed he invented the idea of the rhinestone glove during the making of Thriller, but apparently he was evolving the idea since at least 1981?

He wore 1 glove on the Destiny Tour too, in '79.

He also started experimenting with the moonwalk around the time of the Triumph tour I do believe, Heard an interview with Steve Porcaro and he said he saw MJ doing the moonwalk long before Motown 25. As always, wish we knew more(sigh).

Earliest photos of Michael sporting the single rhinestone glove is around March 1979, during the early U.S. Shows. There's a photo floating around of it somewhere online (MJPhotoCollector's maybe?)

Do you have a link to this interview ?
