Ronnie Hawkins with members of "The Band" as the HAwks

[maviowl]

read the book "this wheels on fire" levon and the story of the band

[castelobrancopaulo]

It doesn't care if the name is Moonwalk or Camelkwalk. What it cares is the movements are the same thing. But, of course, Michael Jackson did it better. But, of course, too, Michael Jackson did not invent that walk.

[LedZeppelin791]

robbie is in this band. not sure if in 59 but at one point he was

[tunderbomber]

Musicians all are a gang of theives and robbers. The only way to keep a tradition going and turn it into something different at the same time. Nothing in art came falling out of the blue sky.

[mykencasey]

Levon Helm is the only member of "The Band" in this ensemble: Robertson, Hudson, Danko and Emanuel all came later . . .

[BackStabbathno1]

Uh, kingscot its a backslide, whatever you wanna call it its pretty much the same thing as the moonwalk. Technically the 'moonwalk' is only the backslide done in a full circle

[DangerousBastard]

Just goes to show that everything comes from somewhere... It's like when Elvis hit the scene, some people must have though rock n' roll just sprang up out of nowhere. Or when Michael Jackson first did the "moon walk" in front of a large audience, people thought it came out of nowhere. But everything from somewhere. Thats not to say everything is stolen, but it evolves, imo....

[kingscot]

Sorry to drop this on you, but it was called the Camel Walk. DOES look like the Moon Walk, though...
