How many people have read this thread and said to themselves I ain't answering that for nothing!!

Probably the album "Thriller". I think he may have done it in the video "Billie Jean".

 

[DesignDawg]

I think the first time he actually did it was on the MTV video music awards? Or maybe the grammys?

If I remember correctly, it was some sort of Motown Records event that was televised.

OMG I remember when I was a little kid my one uncle was a MJ freak and could do the moonwalk. buahahaha picture a grown, overweight man doing the moonwalk...

I was thinking billie jean too.

He didn't start it. Unless I'm mistaken, moonwalking was featured in the 1980 movie Xanadu, by one of the breakdancers in the final dance scene.

James Brown did it in the 50's or 60's.

How do you moonwalk? It has always been a mystery to me.

I think a better question would be
Ok, so I couldn't think of one. Still trying to get that overweight elderly man out of my head!

Just gimme one diamond studded glove, bay-beee!!! He probably lost the other in a little boy's back pocket.

Well... go ahead, ridicule the man... but I still respect him for his singing and dancing abilities. One of the greatest popper's I've ever seen... of course I probably haven't seen half the underground people that could put MJ to shame...
