Imagine if Michael Jackson's videos never premiered on MTV. At that time MTv was a struggling cable network who only played music videos from white artists. It wasn't until 1983 that Michael Jackson broke the color barrier with his classic video "Beat It". His next video (Thriller) is known as one of the best music videos of all time. After releasing the "Beat It" video, MTv began to air more videos from black artists like Run DMC, and Whitney Houston.
Unfortunately, youtube won't let me post any of his videos. However here is the very first music video to air on MTV. This video aired August 1, 1981 at 12:01 A.M.
TO GOD BE THE GLORY
