UPDATE 22nd November 2009
The rhinestone-encrusted glove was sold at an auction in New York for USD350,000, 9 times the expected price. It was bought by Hong Kong businessman Hoffman Ma at Hard Rock Cafe on 21st November 2009 on behalf of a hotel in Macau, China where it will be displayed.

It happened on 25th March 1983, during the Motown 25: Yesterday,
Today, Forever television special.
Michael Jackson, then 24 years old, performed “Billie Jean” and chose that event to introduce to the world his signature dance move – the moonwalk – which has since been copied innumerable times since.
That event was seen by 47 million viewers during its first broadcast.

What an astonishing display of dancing at the highest level, it should inspire the overweight to consider looking for the best weight loss supplements in order to look good trying out those nifty moves.
This move has since become ubiquitous and even mandatory – fans would expect it to be performed by him at every single concert anywhere – and would unquestionably roar their approval, even if it was performed for only a few seconds.
