Do you remember Jeffrey Daniel from Soul Train? We must say that Mr. Daniel can still dance! Here he is (of Shalamar) locking, popping, waacking, roboting, and "moonwalking" before it was even called moonwalking. He taught Michael Jackson how to moonwalk and later became a co-choreographer for the "Bad" and "Smooth Criminal" videos. Check him out! #shalarmar #jeffreydaniel #howardhewitt #carolyngriffey #anighttoremember. | Stone City Band

Jeffrey Daniel of Shalamar wows Top of the Pops in 1982 with his iconic 'backslide' dance, later known as the 'moonwalk.' This moment predated Michael Jackson's famous Motown 25 performance, with Jackson, a fan of Daniel's style, later learning the move from him. #shalamar #bigfun #jeffreydaniel #howardhewett #jodywatley #leonsylversiii #solarrecords #rbclassics #70smusic #funkandsoul #goldrecord #iconiclineup #discofunk #shalamar #bigfun #solarrecords #leonsylversiii #leonsylvers #jeffreydaniel

Before Michael Jackson turned the moonwalk into a global phenomenon, Jeffrey Daniels of Shalamar was gliding across the stage, breaking barriers with every move. A virtuoso of rhythm and style, Daniels debuted the now-legendary dance on Soul Train, forever etching his name into the lineage of Black cultural innovation. | Vintage & Iconic African American Everything
