Origins of the Moonwalk

(hattip to DI)

Abeja Mariposa Jr created a fascinating video history on the origins of the Moonwalk, showing that it goes way back in the traditions of black popular dance. I think it would be interesting to see this with the original music.

I wonder if any of the news networks showed and dicussed Michael's predecessors during their marathon coverage of the funeral and memorial.

Even if you don't consider yourself a Michael Jackson fan, this is worth watching.
