VIDEO: MICHAEL JACKSON & THE ORGIN OF THE MOONWALK ALL IS EXPLAINED!!

This is really good actually who knew? Millions thought they were seeing it for the first time when Michael took those four (only four!) liquid steps on Motown's 25Th Anniversary Special back in 1983, the Moonwalk actually has a long and storied history in dance.

Watch this YouTube clip below, which distills the evolution of the move from archived clips of the last century, including platinum-level fancy-footers Fred Astaire, Sammy Davis Jr., and Bill Bailey.

Then see Michael carry on the legacy -- and take it iconically next-level -- when he debuted it in '83 (if you want to see just that, skip ahead to about 3:38, and again at 4:30)
