MJ, James Brown & Prince, 1983

During his concert at the Beverly Theatre in Los Angeles on August 20, 1983, James Brown called Michael and Prince to join him on stage. What follows is one of my most favorite MJ moments—just a few seconds that demonstrate perfectly how humble he is, how shy, how respectful of those he admires; not to mention his mastery of movement.

The first video is very high quality, and shows only Michael’s appearance on stage with James Brown. The second video also includes Prince’s stage time, but is of lesser quality.
