‘Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever’ Available In USA
To Celebrate Motown, “Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever” that debuted on NBC on May 16, 1983, and became an immediate sensation is now available as a single DVD and a 3-DVD set in stores throughout the USA as from the 30th September 2014.
The highlight that caused the most talk was Michael Jackson’s world premiere of the moonwalk (aka six seconds that changed the world) but Motown 25 had an abundance of buzzworthy moments—reunions by the Miracles, the Supremes and The Jackson 5; the first battle of the bands between The Temptations and Four Tops; and the hottest comedian in the world at the time, Richard Pryor, as host.
