Does any of you remember Jeffrey Daniels? Lets give a brief reminder of who he is

Jeffrey Daniel is an African-American dancer, choreographer and singer-songwriter, performer. He's most well known as a member of soul group Shalamar and for performing "the backslide", a physically complicated dance technique, now known as the "moonwalk". Daniel premiered the move on British television, during a performance of Shalamar's "A Night to Remember" on, the BBC 1 music show, Top of the Pops. The song was a hit in 1982, almost a year before Michael Jackson moonwalked on the Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever television broadcast. Jackson was a big fan in the 1970s of Soul Train - on which Jeffrey Daniel had been a featured dancer. According to Jackson's sister La Toya, Michael was a fan of Jeffrey Daniel's dancing and sought him out. He soon met, hired and learned from the musician/dancer/choreographer how to moonwalk.
