Inspiration of Michael Jackson's Moonwalk

Bill Bailey had done moonwalk years ago, before MJ did (a bit different). Here watch out Bill Bailey's tap dance and his moonwalk.

Neil Armstrong was the first one to do the moonwalk.

I hate when ppl say Michael stole the moonwalk from other people. Of course the moonwalk, glide, whatever you wanna call it has been out for a while. Thats where he got the idea for it because every new invention and dance comes from some past idea. Not saying ppl arent original, but it comes from something. So he saw ppl doing somethin like that and made it his own. He invented the Michael Jackson Moonwalk and made it mainstream.

@scarletngold I totally agree with this.

James Brown has a distinctive dance move, his is a feet slide backwards with a distinctive shuffle. This is also a part of the moonwalk origin, as many of the dancers like Bill Bailey did this James Brown move also.

I do agree that Yes, Michael Jackson refined ths dance better than anyone else, into a distinctive move, in which he moonwalks across an entire stage.

@merkga I don't know you were watching, but the last few seconds of the routine here looked every bit of a moonwalk as MJ's.

Your are right GiGiChante18. "There's nothing new under the sun".  RIP MJ
