Beschreibung:

Sleeveless, made of turquoise cotton with a silkscreen print on front side depicting cherubs and a heart set against a hot pink background with surrounding text reading "n'y a plus que l'amour / sauf amour;" worn by Michael Jackson in his groundbreaking 'Beat It' video during the dance sequence. 'Beat It' (the third single from the 'Thriller' album which still remains the best-selling record of all time), earned Jackson two Grammy Awards in 1984: 'Record of the Year' and 'Best Rock Vocal Performance.' The song also won the Billboard Music Award for 'Favorite Dance/Disco 12" LP' and was certified gold only a few months after its release. The video for 'Beat It' showcased Jackson's innovative "mass choreography" (where he wears this t-shirt) which continues to influence countless pop stars even today. (Please note this t-shirt is now worn, somewhat stained, stretched-out, and shows a few small holes throughout.) Included are a few reprinted color images showing Jackson wearing shirt.
