The song "Beat It" was released on February 14, 1983 and was one of the Thriller Albums songs. It was released as a third single off the album on February 14, 1983.
It was after the charts were going good for two other songs off the album and singles off the album: " The Girl is Mine" and "Billie Jean" that the vice president of Epic Records convinced MJ to release Beat It as another single off the album and it was very successful.
Below is a link to more information on the Song and Eddie Van Halen and his part in it and Quincy Jones and his part in the song as well.
It is quite interesting to read and I learned a few things that I didn't even know about it as well. As far as what YEAR MJ sang the song well I cannot find anything on that. I am sure he sang it after it was a hit single for him on the music charts.

My sister thinks it's 1982, but it's definitely early '80's.
