#Sho nuff, lit. Nothing new under the sun. Although M colder, I like this better. That's my new names for the dances I'm bought to steal "Different worms". Thankxx for the idea love. " 🖤🖤. The 1930s Michael Jackson 🕵🏻♂️🕵🏼♂️🌚🌚💩💩
Take a look at the first Moonwalk, in 1955: Bill Bailey (watch from 2:00 in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-y71njpDH3co.html). MJ wasn't even born yet.
@@Icewind007 If your a reptilian your low conscious, on an eternal quest for somebody elses identity, and never full emotionally grow out of the age of 12.(have a strong denial system)ECT...Its a state of being ..
@@sceleste888 He also appears to have all his fingers and thumbs - Harold Lloyd lost the thumb and index finger on his right hand in 1919 and wore a special glove to conceal the loss.
MJ had so much inspiration from the great stars back then. The good thing is that, he made his own signature in music and in dancing. He gathered all the pieces together.
SO RIGHT BEFORE HIM THEY MOVED BACK AND FORTH LIKE MOTOWN,he gave dancers another Life, videos, also on stage with Janet,britney,usher,Chris brown,ECT.
This guy is Harold Lloyd 1893 to 1971 and he was right up there with Chaplin and Keaton at the time. I like him the most! Correction: Feb 19, 2022. No it is not Harold Lloyd. Apologies. My bad.
@@areyouavinalaff I have read that it might be a guy called Jack Stanford, but he had a very different style, no where near as smooth as this. Who is this guy ?
@@ChubbyChecker182 no idea who it is, been looking around but can't find anything on him. The film is british pathé and they have it uploaded on their channel, in their description they say in France he's called le danseur elastique and that he "looks like" Harold Lloyd, but they don't actually say who he is... but I do know it's neither Harold Lloyd nor Jack Stanford. I'm wondering if he's a French guy touring in Canada or something.
Yes.in one of the interviews he said i piked clues from them and adapted it to my style and music..mj fundamentally was a musician dance he said allowed him to express his music best
#Sho nuff, it really ain't!! That's fire though!! We all really doing the same things over and over, directly and indirectly!!! Love it though, Ion get tired. I likes to go and go!!!!! Want this forever, except a perfect paradise version. Where there's endless worship of God, singing, dancing, partying and eating, drinking and being merry!!!! Now that's fire!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥#. The 1930s Michael Jackson 🕵🏼♂️🕵🏻♂️🖤🖤🌚💩
@@balemkarap5090 if you really wanna simplify it like you have you could say the modern toilet was particularly around in the past, but thats not the point of the saying. The saying was written to put emphasis on the cyclical nature of human life, the fact we only live for the rat race. Sayings like those in general aren't black and white you gotta do some research to understand them properly its not just a blank statement
@@balemkarap5090 a really good point to make which i read: "To say there is nothing new under the sun does not ignore inventions or advances in technology; rather, these innovations do not amount to any basic change in the world. In Solomon’s time, many advances took place in society, but, from the larger perspective of life, human nature has remained and always will remain the same."
I would have appreciated if MJ had clearly pronounced this man's name. This is more than an inspiration, this is the original choreography. I think more MJ fans should see it, I'm sorry I never did before, but I'm grateful I've seen it just now.
He always studied the greatest innovators of dance, choreography, music, theatre. All of MJ's influences came together in his own unique style. He was a student of the greats. Long live the KING! Xoxoxo
Michael always used to say "Study the Greats, and become Greater". That was his philosophy, and he did just that with music, dance, film and showmanship. He drew inspiration, and copied from others and built on it and made everything his own, but he left enough of the original to pay tribute to those who inspired him. A lot of his work is a quiet nod to those who came before him.
From this clip - it looks like he was experimenting with various movements. Definitely a pioneer. MJ was able to eliminate the bad moves, and make the good moves better - more polished, precise, complimented by an arrangement of music that makes you feel like you're watching time stop.
@@randallulrich tbh i have no idea..... maybe its just me but because everything in the BW period you just tend not to look at things as clearly??? because BW etc i know its not a good attitude to approach it but thats how i looked at vid and thought i roughly know who this guy is but im not sure... i knew of names like harold lloyd, buster keaton, charlie chaplin and they all go in the same folder in my head... the black and white period folder..... lol i know its wrong but we tend or i tend to not think about the black and white period which is weird like the world and history and movies never existed before colour...... my comment is self observation, self reflection really and me just reacting to how i just came down the comments and latched onto harold lloyd because everyone else was saying so and then thinking jackie chan lol..... i have no idea what harold lloyd looks like i have a faint idea of what buster keaton looks like and i deffo know what charlie chaplin looks like with the mustache..... wait does charlie look like buster keaton without the mustache lol... i might even be in my head getting this harold lloyd fella mixed up with gene kelly???? just little snapshots of old era people dancing all in one mega folder in my mind!!!!!!
Same guy who hung off a giant clock on the side of a building. He was also missing his thumb and index finger on one hand. From a bomb blast thought to be a prop. Didn't slow him down a bit.
#Word, that's fire.🔥🔥🔥 Seen a dude the other day, as testament to this fact, that danced better than M and talked a little like him too. That's because God created us ONE BIG FAMILY, actually we all related. Descendents of Eve and Adam. # The 1930s Michael Jackson 🕵🏼♂️🕵🏻♂️🖤🖤🌚💩
Thanks for this!! There were so many great Black, White, Indigenous, Romani, Asian & so many other brilliant dancers at that time ( & through history) learning from each other on show circuits, around camp fires, front porches, on travels & at celebrations. Very few were filmed, but you can still find some on RU-vid. The great Harold Lloyd also learned from them and added his artistry. Amazing how we continue to learn!
The lesson with MJ is this: study your craft, no matter what you do. If you're a dancer, study the great dancers that came before you, emulate and then innovate. Same can be said for any designer, any electrician, etc. Don't just do your job - Study your craft.
I'll be not surprised if someday, someone revealed that Michael was inspired by this guy. He did almost moves of Michael's dancing. Great video. Great dancer. Great Michael!!
So great. MJ always paid homage to the old schoolers and new schoolers. He never took credit for his dance moves. He always stated who he was inspired by. He loved Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, James Brown. Jackie Wilson, etc. So cool to see how he incorporated all those inspirational people into his own style and a great tribute to them at the same time. I see the modern day artists doing this for him, such as Usher, Chris Brown, Ciara, Justin Timberlake, JLO, Bruno Mars, Beyonce, etc
I love and appreciate the biggest talents like Fred Astaire, James Brown and Elvis Presley but Michael Jackson was an evolution and simply achieved perfection. I am quite certain that this resulted from natural talent, intense work ethic and a rough childhood that drove him to this obsession to achieve perfection. He was the best, remains the best and will always be the best because you can't surpass perfection.
Just like the "moon walk" is old. It's been done a long time ago, during the jazz era. There was even a female dancer that was the queen of the "moon walk".
I think he did. Sadly we can only see it from the front here, but to me this looks like the treadmill-move that MJ did almost every time before the final moonwalk during the Billie Jean dance break at the end of the song. Watch here; I put a time stamp: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2gCUNdiLcPU.htmlm22s
In 114 seconds, he gives miraculous #moves His versatility, this clip, with precision #proves With his whole body, he does true #magic His dancing style easily defies pure #logic He mesmerizes our eyes in all the #ways He does it also with a stunning #grace He is wearing glasses and is #dancing I can't, but say, his style is just #amazing "Brilliant" is the only word to #utter This is in dancing a great #chapter!

@@gerardmcmillan8591 AFRICANS AND BLACK AMERICANS HAVE BEEN DOING DANCES LIKE THIS AND BREAK DANCING STYLES LONG BEFORE THE CAMERA WAS EVER PUT ON THEM AND WHITES WOULD IMITATE THEM. WHITES WOULD ALSO PUT THERE FACES ON BLACK MUSIC ALBUMS TO. NOTHING NEW.
Ya can't be the king of pop if you COPY everything someone else has done cause then you're not an original, you are a plagiarist. The moonwalk was done by some fella in the 30's.
@@stonystoner895 *Michael Jackson is the greatest artist in history. He didn't copy anything. Moonwalker was inspired by children who danced in the ghetto. No one in history has made a better and complete Moonwalker like Michael. You can cry he is the greatest arist You are jealous.* 😭
@@stonystoner895 then look up African American footwork in the 1920s..this guy isn’t the first to do a lot of these things either..he probably just perfected it just like Michael Jackson did later on.
@@erpmoc8242 No it's true MJ said himself he got inspirations from the past and also from the gueto Old dancers from 30s/60s like James Brown/Fred Asteire and etc MJ improved them and bring back to the 70s/80s/90s (with his own spin on it and message) And it was great
Yes we know Eminem was the first rapper, Elvis was the first person to invent rock ‘n’ roll, breakdancing was 1st performed in the Olympics, Caitlyn Clark is the best basketball player to ever walk the planet.
Well I have also heard that MJ learned a lot from the mime Shields of Shields and Yarnell. He had regular routines of robotic dancing and it was stated that there were actual times they spent together practicing
IM sure MJ wanted to bring the best to stage, He worke Extremely Hard, but i remember seeing J5 on Ed Sullivan show.. and I knew he would be Great. HE WAS AMAZINGLY TALENTED @ 9
@@ralphgonsalves7944 I had the very good fortune of working for a concert promoter in the 1970's, and we put on several J5 shows during one of their tours. MJ must have been around 15 or so. I watched from backstage, and all I can say is that I have never seen children working as hard as those youngsters did (IIRC the two younger ones who were still not teens yet were included in the show).
If you watch the old videos of the original people from America dancing, you would clearly see he mimics and copied their dance moves. He is good but he is missing rhythm and soul.
I once had my hair highlighted in a barbershop. When I was leaving the building, one man said that he looked very cool, like Michael Jackson. This is despite the fact that Michael has never done highlighting. The same can be said about this video. This is absolutely not similar to Michael's technique, but the author compares it with him.)
The dancer's name is Jack Stanford. He was born Charles Finnegan Williams in Colchester, Essex, on June 26, 1900, the son of Harold Hearne Williams, a chemist, and Eliza Finnegan. Out of respect for this great dancer who revolutionized the stages of half the world in the 1920s, 30s and 40s, it would be nice if the creator of this channel had mentioned him. I think that many of the dancers of urban dance, funky and of course Michael Jackson owe a lot to Jack Stanford.
@@Diogenes_ofSinope Diogones, religion is man made, it’s dry & hopeless & angry. Knowing the God of the Holy Bible gives life, hope, joy and freedom in knowing that the Creator of the universe loves you/us and died for our sins so we don’t have to. We can live eternally with Him and not eternally separated from the giver of life in torment. Call on Him and He will answer you.
It is a well known fact that Michael Jackson got his moves from breakers in the 70s-80s, and breaking got its influence from tap dancers and jazz dancers
He is my grandmother’s second cousin, my father remembers going to uncle Lloyds house . I don’t know if he was referring Harolds father or Harold. I know some people are going yeah right, he was talked about many times in my childhood. I’m just glad he is still remembered. He was a pioneer of stunt comedy. He can be seen wearing glove(s) in later films, it was a prosthetic a finger was lost due to the fact that real explosives were used in film .One of Harold’s signature looks is his glasses. Not sure if this is him though, then again I’m not familiar with a lot of silent film. He did wear a glove(s) in some of his films so he was like Jackson in a way.
My brother and I used to get yelled at back in the 70's when were 12-13 yrs old, for laughing too loud at HL movies late at night. Now I binge watch HL movies and documentaries on YT sometimes. It wasn't until recently I learned about his finger injury and that the films were only released for TV broadcast around the time my brother and I were watching them.
MJ used artists in the past as inspiration as do many greats. MJ was a huge Stooges fan and there is one scene in Corny Casanovas 1952 where Shemp is preparing to fight Mo and during his fancy footwork he does a version of the moonwalk. Also, Bill Bailey did one that is almost identical to MJ's in 1955 at the Apollo Theater.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Harold Lloyd was the best silent film star .. He did everything the others wouldn't - or couldn't .. He made me laugh so much more than Chaplin , Keaton , Laurel and Hardy , ..more than anybody .😃😂🤣🤣. from that era .. or ANY era for that matter .😂🤣😂🤣🤣. the Best Silent Film Star .. The BEST motion picture star .. In fact .. just my humble opinion.. More than any star living today as of 2021 !!! .. No Person that is a celeb today can even begin to compare to Harold Lloyd ..😋 The ONLY true GENIUS of Comedy , He started a whole genre ... The First ..The Original.. the originator of what is now known as 'Romantic Comedy ... also did very well at suspenseful melodrama and 'film - noir' .🤪. 'The Kid Brother' a superb example.🤠.It appeared that he really went through hell making that film.😲☹️😕🤯😬..A man **Multitalented** beyond words..beyond belief..

He will be back...💢🧥🎩🎓❣️👍🏻👍🏻That's Right .. He Will... 🔎📖🔍👀..just my humble opinion..✝️☯️🛐🙏🕊️☮️
Michael Jackson loved old films and studied the moves of the best dancers. Hr picked and chose so moves and then made them his own. He was friends with Fred Astaire. The Smooth Criminal video was in honor of Astaire who had passed away. Watch the last part of the movie Band Wagon. The light colored socks and higher hem on his pants was a dancer's trick he learned from Fred Astaire. It draws everyone's attention to their feet.
This is older than the 1930s ... I am guessing early - mid 1910s..the lettered intro card would not be necessary in the 1930s .. because the 1930s had sound recording by that time 🎬🎙️🎥 🙂... 1927 was the first sound film... I think it was an Al Jolson film short... him singing..
That butterfly 🦋 move !! Whoa 😳 outstanding !!😇 way ahead of his time.. Michael created some other artists moves and combined them ..The rest was all his own.. A Legendary masterpiece… that man danced from the heart ❤️ RIP Michael.. your Legendary style will continue to live on in our hearts and minds.🙏🏼
Good ol Harold Lloyd lmao this dude was hilarious .. Extremely innovative and inventive .. I always wished him and Chaplin did something big but he's def a #Legend !!!!💯✌🏾
