Every wondered where Michael Jackson got his dance moves from?
No? Well to be honest neither did I. But I did find this clip of 1974 musical "Little Prince" interesting.

Yup, ol Bob Fosse was definitely an influence as well as Fred Astaire.

I sort of think MJ ripped a lot of his stuff from James Brown.

Nope. Jagger. Openly admits it.

What a great clip. And if the moves were only close...but they're exactly the same, also in spirit, not only physically, if you understand what I mean. Well, that doesn't make MJs talent any less respectable. As one Finnish author said (and propably many others): Never call anyone original before you've been to where he's from. EDIT: I just watched it wit sound. It's better silent.

Nice catch. The similarities are really close. Even the style of dress. Not that this should take away from Michael. Everybody is borrowing from something in the past (except Jimi Hendrix  ). Just repackaging and refining to a new audience. Also some give credit to Bill Bailey as the original moonwalker. Check around 2:03: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y71njpDH3co Unsolicited opinion...that "Little Prince" movie looks absolutely awful.

well said-I lasted about 20 seconds with the sound-too distracting from the moves.

Even though that film was admired I agree with Craig...what an awful clip. And thought so when I first saw the film upon release. Bob is a much better dancer (and choreographer...though not singer) than this clip could ever show. El sucko in extremeo.
