Michael Jackson Super Bowl 1993 [SNIPPETS IN HD]

The King of Pop ushered in the new era of the halftime show with this performance, turning it into a must-see event for the first time. (Sorry, Carol Channing.) What makes it even more stunning is that Jackson stands silent for nearly 2 minutes, while letting the crowd roar for him. He doesn’t utter a word until nearly 3 minutes into his 12-minute show. Yet he still manages to offer a plea for racial harmony and worldwide unity in the name of children.
