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.

Was Kinko the Kid Loving Clown his other influence?

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

No, that would be Janelle Monae;-)

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.
