Wow I just played that on my iPod. In addition to several Shalamar songs on the last hour.






Nothing like old school funk/R&B on a Saturday Morning. My radio station plays it religiously too.

Wait a minute. This dude dancing in the video from Shalamar taught MJ the moonwalk? I knew MJ was taught the moonwalk but I didn't know it was him.



Video description:

Jeffrey Daniel, member of Shalamar, in an amazing live...
Daniel first performed "the backslide", a physically complicated dance technique, now known as the "moonwalk" on British television, during a performance of Shalamar's "A Night to Remember" on Top of the Pops.
The song was a hit in 1982, almost a year before Michael Jackson moonwalked on the Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever television broadcast. He was a big fan of Soul Train - on which Jeffrey Daniel had been a back-up dancer.

According to Jackson's sister La Toya, Jackson was a fan of Daniel's dancing and sought him out. He soon met, hired and learned from Danie

Yeah I remember that. Cause supposedly other Soul Train people were mad they didn't get picked to be a group.

Check this video out I just found. It's a comparison video between Jeff and Mike. Jeff dances first, then Mike does either the exact same move or a similar move.



I'm surprised but not too surprised since everyone learns from someone else. It's just a shame Mike gets credit for these moves as "his dance moves".

According to wikipedia, Mike hired that dude to teach him those moves.
