The Boy Who Never Had a Childhood Michael Jackson's 83 Seconds That Changed Everything

Описание: March 25, 1983. 8:30 PM. 47 million people watching.

Michael Jackson stood on a stage in Pasadena and did something that
shouldn't be possible. He glided backwards. He defied gravity. He showed
the world magic in 83 seconds.

But here's what you didn't see. The 5-year-old forced to rehearse for
hours. The childhood that never happened. The bleeding feet from 10,000
practice sessions. The boy who became a legend because he never got to
be a boy.

This is the story of Michael Jackson—before the moonwalk, before Thriller,
before the world knew his name. This is the story of what it costs to be
perfect.

In the style of Casey Kasem's legendary American Top 40, we bring you the
complete, untold story of how a child from Gary, Indiana changed music,
television, and dance forever in one single performance.
