Even though I know Calloway's music, I didn't know about this aspect.<br /><br />If you look up this Saturday's NY Times, there's an article by a dance critic about MJ's dance abilities. Quite a read. I never knew even "serious" dancers (Fred Astaire certainly did) viewed Jackson as a terrific dancer.kmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16040339235134145847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14701409.post-40396653630411861382009-06-27T16:09:11.343-05:002009-06-27T16:09:11.343-05:00It used to a rather favoured quiz question about t...It used to a rather favoured quiz question about the origins of the moonwalk. Cab Calloway, wasn't it, the first to do it? He called it something else, though. Can't remember exactly what. Any ideas?<br /><br />And check out this video on YouTube of the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxZcLWAmdco" rel="nofollow">Origins of Moonwalk</a>.FĂ«anorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17101113676992105240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14701409.post-72011216567862033992009-06-26T10:15:52.333-05:002009-06-26T10:15:52.333-05:00TR: Of course, back then my only reason to like &q...TR: Of course, back then my only reason to like "Beat it" was that EVH played on it. It is a great song. <br /><br />Also, you need to share that weekly top ten list with us.

I still remember my dad(!) going out to buy MJ's music and how he got back the HIStory volume I and II discs when he came back from a trip to the US only to play the songs on an unending repeat.Szerelemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17911190230851186924noreply@blogger.com
