Michael Jackson’s Beat It Red Jacket
“Beat It” was performed by Michael Jackson and co-produced by Quincy Jones for the Thriller album in 1982. It was released on February 14, 1983 as the album’s third single.
The music video focused on the power of dance to bring together rival gangs. The choreography of synchronized dancers became a familiar Jackson trademark. The video included 80 actual gang members dancing alongside 18 professional dancers. In it, Michael Jackson wears a red leather jacket that became a distinctive look for him.
“Beat It” was awarded several prestigious music awards, won Record of the year, topped many music charts and went platinum in 1989. It was a huge hit for Michael and he performed it on all of his world tours.
Check out this Beat it style, funky, red faux leather jacket. This is an officially licensed Michael Jackson product and one of the most popular Michael Jackson Halloween costumes for 2009.
And here’s a live performance of Beat It, by the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. Enjoy!

Beat it has to be one of my favorite song from the legendary Michael Jackson and well deserved the prestigious music awards.
My very first album that I bought as a child was ABC by the Jackson 5. I had followed him ever since. He is a great loss to music and the world.

Michael was an absolute innovator. He will surely be missed. I remember him in all his phases. Way back as a child entertainer with the Jackson 5 singing “ABC”, when he first broke out on his own with the Quincy Jones’ album “Off The Wall”, and then in his superstar days singing in and dancing in the “Smooth Criminal” video. He started the fashion trend of wearing a single glove and the dance move I still see people trying to copy. We lost a great one for sure . . .

He was a master of costumes. Sad that he had to die so early out of neglect and addiction. However his music shall live on!

Michael Jackson was like a icon to me. I’ve been coping with his death and it has been incredibly emotional for me. I can’t believe how he moved the industries around the world. I wish his family the best. Thanks Michael for changing life as we know it!
