Evolution of the Moonwalk

via youtube.com

Do you remember the time?

When he debuted the moonwalk on the Motown Special. It's hard to imagine in today's YouTube world, but it was a sensation. I remember going to work the next day and everyone was talking about it. My coworker had a new invention called a VCR and actually had it on tape. We watched it over and over again. It seemed superhuman. It defined entertainment. — Helene Rubinstein

The Way He Moved

via youtube.com

Incomparable. Astaire once said of him:

My Lord, he is a wonderful mover. He makes these moves up himself and it is just great to watch. I think he just feels that way when he is singing those songs. I don't know how much more dancing he will take up, because singing and dancing at the same time is very difficult. But Michael is a dedicated artist. He dreams, thinks of it all the time. You can see what the result is.

Neverland at Night - a set on Flickr

Everyone must have heard the news by now, but I thought these pics are an eery metaphor for Jackson's life, meteoric rise and fall. As TIME says:

The tragedy of Michael Jackson's death at age 50, reportedly from cardiac arrest, pales in comparison to the tragedy of his life.
