>>And most are assuming this gorilla won’t be doing the moonwalk in a few years...<<

Interestingly (for me) the moonwalk was invented in the 1950s by a dancer named Adalberto Martrinez AKA “Resortes.”

MJ just stole it. You can find videos of the original on YT.

It goes back to the days of vaudeville and probably predates that era. Marcel Marceau became famous for it when he mimed a man struggling against the wind. I recall seems film of Fred Astaire doing it in the 1930s and he picked it up from others in vaudeville.
