“Jackson’s Billie Jean was the first video by a black artist to air on MTV.”
I am afraid this is not really accurate as before Billy Jean I clearly remember watching Eddie Grant’s Electric Avenue and some Donna Summer song (probably “She works hard for the money”). What is true is that, after some pressure from CBS, Billie Jean started to appear on regular rotation an this pulled other black artists into MTV. So he wasnt really the first but he definately opened the door for many to come.
cheers!
