funny: ORIGINS OF THE MOONWALK

POPPING TACO might have taught MICHAEL JACKSON how to MOONWALK, but apparently just like everything else, there is nothing new under the sun!

  • Back in the day, I had heard that "Baby Gap"/dancer for the Gap Band taught Michael Jackson how to "backslide".
    jus sayin'

  • Jeffrey Daniel said he taught MJ how to do the moonwalk so Jeffrey must've stole it, lol....but then again, that guy lies about a lot (including about where he's from...).

  • Actually Jeffrey Daniel of Shalamar started it and it was called the Backslide. Not that dude from the Gap Band. Watch Shalamar's Unsung on TV One. Or ask me, he's my uncle. this is dope though, see ray charles all the way to chris brown in this.

  • I didn't say Baby Gap started the "backslide", I said that Baby Gap taught MJ how to "backslide". Jeffrey Daniel aka "Pop a-long kid" then I believe he changed his name to "Colonal PoP" was really dope back in the days, definitely a fan. I know that he was the first to "backslide" on television.
