Michael was the one and only 👍🏼 I’m a 70 yr old white woman and my kids crack up when one of his songs start causing I’m singing along every word. Very few will ever have that kind of talent!👍🏼🙏🏼

Mikey had to practice. The guy from 1943 is all rhythm and heart. Now we know where mj got his ideas. There’s always someone who came first

Stop, get help. you don't know if he ever saw this guy dance. I love how some people always try to downplay everything that African Americans accomplish!

Michael never kept it a secret. He always credited those who came before him. Sammy Davis Jr., Cab Callaway, Fred Astaire, James Brown. As a child he studied their showmanship then blended it with his own unique skills and abilities. All the greats looked to those who came before them, passing down the tradition of art and dance to the next generation. There are many young talented ppl currently taking dance to the next level, using Micheal as their inspiration.

Michael studied Fred Astair for his moves, not this guy, but thanks for the comparisons.

what movie, show, concert, commercial did this video come from let's Google this and find out the truth if this is actually true because you cannot believe everything you see on social media these days everybody lies for fame or destroy somebody's name let's not judge before you know the facts I personally don't know nobody besides Michael Jackson that did that type of dance but if you tell me I will Google it cuz I want to know the truth now

Not necessarily that he got those moves from the 1940s. the Bible says there is nothing new under the sun. People, time, trends,styles, repeat themselves over time. And I believe that he was fascinated with children because he never got to be a kid. I believe that it had more to do with extortion than molestation. Whatever the case. His life was a sad example of what living life to please man instead of God can lead to..SMH

It came naturally to Michael. He was a born entertainer and excelled past all expectations. We'll never have another anywhere close to his talent.

If some one coild find this from 1943, could some one please find Flip Wilson with his Geraldine!??!! I used to love watching on the variety shows in the 1950s. Ed Sulllivan, Perry Como, Milton Burl. I don't think he was on Arthur Godfrey or Lawrence Welk But I really really can't remember what I saw him on the most. But it seemed like he made the circut. Another possibility might be Diana Shore or Dean Martin. I have never seen any one imitate him or seen any reruns of him. He may have been controversial for his time. But I always thought he was a great comedian.

No denying same style ! WOW ! I like the 1943 version so much better. That dudes got moves ! Jackson must have had to practice really hard to learn something that came natural, for the other dancer in 1943. He's so much better looking !

🙄. Just another example is any random post causing controversial arguments about nothing. 🤨 It’s all for the sake of the argument. In other words, Who cares if MJ copied his moves from this 1940’s dancer? Does anyone really care? Or y’all just wanting to argue about trivial crap? Was it copyrighted? 🤷🏻 Both dancers did it well. If you like it, just enjoy it. If not, just move on. ✌🏻😉🤚

What people don't understand is the difference in that 5 decades. The man before MJ was forced to perform as a character as a show to appease "certain people". Who supposedly deemed their worth?Based on their performance. yes, MJ had similar struggles. However, it was a totally different time. He pushed through that. And it allowed. For the greatness, we all know today to shine through 💯

Now look you tell me that blacks aren’t the ones that has been hated on because oh having so much talent, bodies can move with music and to any beats, and on tune. It would have been called all kind of names knowing that for decades that was one of the main things that certain ones with no rhythm at all wanted to mock . Absolutely amazing art to see this thank you whoever pisted it 🙏🏼

TRUE STORY: BACK IN 1995 Michael Jackson was at a rehearsal when one of his staff members came up to him and whispered something in his ear... Michael left there so fast because what he was told was "little boy's pants were half off down at Macy's!"

Everyone picks up someone elses moves, and turns them into their own..MJ was a superstar, because he worked SO HARD at his craft, both singing and dancing. He was an entertainer, 100% of the time.
