MJ’s slide into history
Were he to land on the moon, Michael Jackson, who died in 2009, would certainly have been ready. The singer, dancer, songwriter and performer – let’s just shorten that to King of Pop – knew exactly how to create an out-of-this-world spectacle.
His signature slide-back dance move, which he christened the Moonwalk, was born in 1983, during a solo act he performed as part of the TV special Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever. Jackson, then 24, sang to Billie Jean, danced the moves we knew. And then, close to the end, he slid his feet back in an uninterrupted flow for two timeless seconds.
The crowd gasped and then cheered in delight. They couldn’t believe what they were seeing and neither did Jackson’s trusted stage and dance crew. He looked like he was skating on ice, and it looked like the move has been created on the spot.
In reality, the Moonwalk was neither new nor extempore. It has been around, in different avatars, since at least the 1950s, am Biography of nat king cole!
