True. James Brown had been doing it for years before MJ. A tap dancer from the 1930s is credited as being the first to have done it in an act and then street dancers copied it for years. Back in those days it was called the ‘backslide’.
I know. I just really thought it was a fun fact. For years I thought MJ invented the moonwalk. I just found out that wasn't true last year. I'm not trying to disparage General Flynn's post at all.
Fun fact: Michael Jackson did not invent the moonwalk. It has been performed before he started using it.

I call that giving credit where credit is due.

I respectfully disagree that giving credit where credit is due is nothing or next to nothing.
