@itsabouttimebitch That's not true. The Moonwalk, which was actually called the backslide and was from the west coast dancers and not Shields. Shields was a mime with robotic moves, but even his robotic origins is questionable, seeing that The Lockers was doing it before M.J. and during the early 70's. Michael was doing the robot during the early 70's way before the Moonwalk but he didn't create neither nor did Shields.

I remember telling Robert that i might be able to get him a job in a store front window,
thankfully for him, he declined!

This video was shot (in 16 millimiter film) and edited by my late husband, Richard Scott, for a wonderful show called Rno Magers' Electric Impressions on KPIX.

Love Robert Sheilds, I am a dancer that started in San Francisco and got to see him all the time, met him too. So glad there will be a documentary coming out about him!

& Michael Jacksons moonwalk was inspired by his robotic moves. They were friends.
