Jeffrey Daniels - Shalamar - A Night To Remember

[TheRavingReview]

keep in mind that this was the first ever moonwalk even b4 michael jackson did it 4 da 1st time !

[BBBYpsi]

@TheRavingReview Bill baily did the moonwalk (he was a tap dancer) back in the 50's first look it up on you tube.

[ayemzparker]

HE SHOULD OF GOT A CHECK EVERYTIME MICHAEL DID THE MOONWALK!!!

[WinnerTV1]

Look, where Micheal Jackson got his dance moves from ;-)

He hired this dancer Jeffrey Daniels and copied his style.

[candythomas14]

Thank you for this!!! I loved this performance Wow!!!

[nicolas7594]

those was the best years, now we can only have shit music, even usher is making pop !

[JefferyGuerard]

what kinda potato was this recorded with???

well it almost doesn't matter Jeffrey Daniels is the best all time dancer

[madelinelund]

thats a mime artist



[trashcanalive]

I bet all the dancing lads watching Jeffrey felt very inadequate!

[exclusivestuff]

check the white boy in the white vest and green trousers going hard with the dancing lol, this is a tune though, i was born in the late 80s so i wasnt even around when this tune came out but i wish i was though, 80s music was so much better than the music of today, you can actually dance to this shit

[dawnbringer63009]

jeffrey you can dance your ass off! I love to dance myself! I love this video ooh you are just too fine! I would give anything to meet you!

[kathy6864]

Heard this on the radio and remembered the stir this caused, we were all so excited and had not seen anything like it before.

[SnotRockets55]

I had to come back and watch this twice. He can dance his ass off. And I forgot just HOW good a song this is, wtf?

[2468stinger]

@Kojak12son you tell him dude, he is probably just a pedophile anyway

[2468stinger]

@rrrickster3137 you racist mother fucker! It was not just popular with black people you racist bastard. Lots of White people done it also(ok maybe not as much as black people but still).

[A86]

@2468stinger - Really. That was a racist comment he made. There were white people like Fred Astaire, David Bowie, Dick Van Dyke and this French mime from the WWII era (I can't remember his name) doing the "moonwalk" and similar maneuvers before MJ did. It was mostly black people doing the "moonwalk" before MJ but it wasn't unknown to white people either.

And to the other guy did have a point, MJ did make it more global and famous than Jeffrey Daniel did personally. No offense to Mr. Daniel.

[EddieRamon]

its daniel not daniels

[Kojack12son]

He taught Michael Jackson the Moonwalk . But michael Jackson Took it and Made it a legendary move .

[rrrickster3137]

@Kojack12son How in the Fuck can Micheal J make the moon walk ledgendary I was there in the early 70's when the dance was popular with Black teens all Micheal did was copy and introduced whites and the rest of the world about a dance they were doing in the hood for years sucka......Jeffrey Daniels was the shit......

[Kojack12son]

[rrrickster3137]

[BboyFiZiX]

dwayne dibley?

[thoomolong]

This is 1000 hundred times better than the official "Night To Remember" Music video.

[michaelarcangelo99]

Woah!!! This is sick!! No wonder he's Michael jackson's teacher!

[cdubmeyer]

well the fact is, yes Jefferey did teach Michael the moonwalk. BUT, everyone likes to keep saying that Michael perfected it, well yes that's true but guess what- anyone would have perfected that move after being watched by much more people in motown 25th performance, everyone loved it and Michael worked on it more, JUST LIKE me or you would have done when everyone thinks it's our signature move

[ccmyp]

@cdubmeyer well... for me it sucks that theres that age gap, so I don't kno what happened in wat order... for all we kno he could hav gone n perfected it by himself b4 ppl started saying it was his signature move. now for sure we all say that its his signature move, but time... can b tricky :x

[NW10SJL]

Can Jeffrey Daniels "bust a move" or what ?? As great as Jacko was as a dancer Daniels is Jedi master Yoda & Jacko is just a paduwan learner

[hcvang]

@NW10SJL who the hell is Jacko?!

[irenecbcn]

1 Love...

[gceltmc]

[Maxi470]

Great tune, no doubt about it ... now, to the guy wearing the green pants ....... what the hell where you thinking dude??? :-S

[lewisner]

@Maxi470 Most of the people in the front row were actually paid dancers, including the guy in green.

[whamboy200969]

great dancer great tune great vid! totps is a legend

[fuel2obsessions]

well he taught a lot of moves to michael. But I think Michael did the moves way better

[whamboy200969]

thank the fuck the best dancer is back on

[323096685]

@whamboy200969 Michael jackson is a better dancer

[ev3nflow]

@323096685 you really are a prick..jeff daniel TAUGHT jackson.....

Without jeff the is no mj moonwalk....

[staffsmole]

@ev3nflow Well, actually, that's not quite correct.

There is a video of footage from the 1930's on youtube of someone doing the "moonwalk" on stage.

Jeffrey Daniels didn't invent the move.

But you are correct in saying that Daniels taught Jackson how to do it.

[lewisner]

@staffsmole Bill Bailey

[staffsmole]

@lewisner

Thank you !!!!

[TonyHStanley]

@staffsmole According to Stephen Fry & 'Q.I.', the footage of Bill Bailey performing the moonwalk is from 1955

[ccmyp]

@ev3nflow yeah, what staffsmole said is right though, on the other vids too even jeff daniel said that the dance was already out there and that MJ came to him to ask him to teach it to him. but of cos I still have yet to find who actually created the moonwalk ;)

[ave383]

@ccmyp The backslide was called the moonwalk by MJ.The moonwalk is the move you see when they are backsliding in a circle. He named it the wrong thing just like Daniels did with popping until he got schooled. That move was on the streets but he learned more from Daniels then that move.Almost his whole performance is his.Look at some more vids of Daniels dancing.

[1949ster]

@ccmyp type in Bill Bailey moonwalk and watch the end of the vid, from 1955.
