The early one with Michael Jackson as a guest star (not playing himself)

The "Lisa, it's your birthday. Happy Birthday, Lisa" episode?

He did play himself, he just wasn't credited for weird legal reasons.

Debatable that he played "himself" in this episode: https://simpsons.fandom.com/wiki/Leon_Kompowsky

I believe the creators said it was him on the DVD commentaries, but those aren't "official" and the show has since gone out of its way to distance itself from Jackson.

You misunderstand. Jackson voiced Leon Kompowsky. But Michael Jackson did not appear as a character in the episode. It was a neurodivergent character who thought he was Michael Jackson.
