      Michael was fond of Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers. But once James Brown came years later on the scene, that was a wrap. 🕺❤❤❤🎼
      He became a king of pop music.

    His lines are so clean and he is so smooth and liquid. His timing is incredible. He wanted to be a drummer, and started dancing with his sister. They were very famous back in the day. His favorite partner was Rita Hayworth, but I love seeing him dance with Ginger!

    Wow. All those stars, if alive, would be thrilled by this. I was privileged to have worked at The Beverly Hills Hotel for years in the early-mid 1980's, rising to become Night Manager. In my video about Diana Ross "The Boss" I speak of other stars I served & especially Ginger Rodgers, who'd come down to the Front Desk on my night shift & talk with me, night after night. How sweet. Who am I? HA! I'd drive through Beverly Hills Residential to get to work & one afternoon saw Ann Miller walking her dog. Of course, I'm not going to bother her, but I lightly tapped the horn & waved at her, and she looked over and waved back at me. I was there at the hotel to serve and protect all the guests, no matter their wealth or fame.
    Just wonderful, your video. Michael Jackson... he mentioned in the Diana Ross video. I just forgot to tell that brief story, about how he does not speak in that childlike tone, but his voice is in that adult male range. His stage voice is precisely that. Just one amazing artist who has brought such joy in my life. This video brings such joy too. Love, from Reno.

    No - I’m not nostalgic for the past…but oh! How I love this edit….‘Life on Mars’ was me, aged 14 & a half, except that MGM Musicals were very real to me…I would go home & sketch the costumes, the principle reason why I learned to make clothes…
    Later, when I had a daughter who trained as a dancer, my early inspiration helped me to make stage costumes for real!
    In the video, I was reminded of Anne Miller’s amazing green dress for ‘Prehistoric Man’ - the design (by Helen Rose?) was so clever, as it appeared to be a ‘normal’ day dress - but the freedom of movement was built into the costume!
    Thank you for your wondrous edit - I can now study the details all over again! 💐
    Any chance of THE SKIRT, worn by Cyd Charrise in ‘Silk Stockings’ - you probably know the one I mean (the one with the pleats?), although I have a feeling that two skirts were finally used…
    From Brighton 🌈 UK, take care & be well!
