The Moonwalk also played a significant role in the evolution of music videos. Jackson's music video for "Billie Jean," where he first showcased the Moonwalk, was a game-changer. It was one of the first music videos by a black artist to receive heavy rotation on MTV, breaking racial barriers. Furthermore, the video's success demonstrated the power of dance in music videos. It set a new standard for music videos, leading to a shift from simple performance videos to more elaborate productions that integrated storytelling, special effects, and, of course, intricate choreography.
