Jeffrey Daniel of Shalamar

@assurbanipal thank you ! jeffrey is amazing dancer !

Sure there were a lot of people before Jeffrey Daniel who did "versions" of the "back walk" or whatever they called it - but I'd say Jeffrey was the biggest "current" influence on Michael's Moonwalk. Michael always gave props to his other dancing "idols" such as James Brown and Fred Astaire as well.

@ fiorano

The song is called "Pop Along Kid" and it's from Jeffrey's and Jody's Band called Shalamar.

They had very big success together with Howard Hewett.

Much Repect /

Too bad we don't see any talent in this generation, whether in singing or dancing

I bet that the golden age of dance was in the 70's and 80's

best moonwalkers ever

Wow this video show JD teaching Micheal all his moves!

[daycan1]

Ok so is that lean in Smooth Criminal actually real?!!! Amazing. The kids today can't touch MJ and JD.

I think MJ shoes were magnetic to the floor for that Killer Lean. He coulda bust his ass without it
