His dancing back then wasn't considered crazy, it was considered the coolest on the planet. Period. Thousands (maybe millions) of people imitated him... or at least they tried.
Then again, as already explained, if someone called him crazy back then, it would've been an insult. He certainly wouldn't have called himself that. It'd be like a woman calling herself a slut back then... sorry, just didn't happen.
Time frame, folks. It matters. |

As good a dancer as he ended up being, I still don't think Jackosn was in the same class as JB. Nobody was.
MC Hammer probably did a better JB than Jackson. |

But I STILL say that JB "invented" funk, too!
