Review & Description
Michael Jackson, the "King of Pop", was one of the greatest dancers of all time, both in creativity and performance. His moves had mesmerized audiences around the globe, as well as inspired a generation of dancers. Through his dance steps he will continue to inspire generation after generation. Moonwalk was first shown to the world at the Motown 25th Anniversary in a performance of "Billie Jean". Although to the viewing world the performance was fantastic, Michael himself was not happy with it, being the perfectionist he was. Nevertheless the performance at Motown 25, especially the performance of "Billie Jean" which featured the Moonwalk, will always be remembered as a magic moment in the history of music entertainment. When Michael performed the Moonwalk for the first time at the Motown 25th Anniversary, he literally stole the show. It was after this performance that Fred Astair rang him and other great dancers saying how much they admired his talent. So much has how been said and written about the life and career of Michael Jackson that it has become almost impossible to disentangle the man from the myth. Jackson made a name for himself in the early '70s as the young front man of Motown's Jackson 5 and as a solo artist. The Jacksons had left Motown in 1975 and released three albums on Epic, the most recent of which, "Destiny," peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard 200 in 1978. But Jackson became a bona fide superstar with his first solo album for Epic, "Off the Wall." Tragically this all came to an end. On June 25th 2009 Michael Jackson died suddenly of a reported cardiac arrest. He was 50 years old. "Michael Jackson moonwalk: The Man And Legend" includes the behind-the-scenes story to many of the landmarks in Jackson's life.
