Legendary Philly soul producers Gamble & Huff are mourning “a dear friend.” This is one of the songs they wrote and produced for him. Catch the rhythmic detail in the choreography at exactly 2:00. And the early hints of the moonwalk, 4:02. [P.S. – My colleague John Murph points out that Jeffrey Daniels of Shalamar was doing the moonwalk before MJ. Another colleague, Larry Appelbaum, notes that the step is even older, coming from such tap dancers as Bill Bailey and Cholly Atkins.]
