When I read that Michael Jackson not only didn't invent the moonwalk,but that the three men who taught him the move told him it was called the backslide, it pleased me as I have never been a fan of Michael Jackson. Before it was called the backslide it was known as the Buzz. Cab Calloway (of "Minnie the Moocher" fame, and several other songs) said they were doing that step back in the 1930s,there is footage available to prove it was in use before Michael Jackson was born. The only original part that Michael Jackson contributed to the step was a name that actually belonged to an entirely different dance.
