The True Originator Was Not Michael Jackson! #michaeljackson #kingofpop #shorts
I don't understand why many people still believe
Michael Jackson invented the moonwalk but that's not true here's the real story while the King
of Pop is renowned for his iconic hits and his signature dance moves he didn't invent the
moonwalk the King of Pop made it Famous by performing it flawlessly on mtown 25 in 1983
so what really is the moonwalk well the real name of the moonwalk is the backslide and it is
a popping dance step when Michael was a child he was heavily inspired by the dancers on Soul
Train a classic 7s TV show airing the best black contemporary music and dance acts back then
many dancers showed their best backslide and MJ loved the step so much that he really wanted
to learn it next thing you know MJ did it live on one of the biggest TV events of the time but
who actually invented the backslide that credit goes to Bill Bailey who debuted the move in
1955 making him a true originator of the move
