“That’s what he did the moonwalk in… That was my mother’s throw.”

    Actually, this “revelation” about the jacket is old news.

    Thanks for posting it anyway, because I had totally forgotten that the other Jackson brothers had performed on the show as well. That’s how memorable Michael’s performance was to me. I miss him SO much. :(
