Rolling Stone Readers Pick Their 10 Favorite Dancing Musicians
Rock, hip-hop, R&B and pop all evolved out of music designed for dancing, and so it should come as no surprise that many of the greatest musicians of all time
happen to be world class dancers. With this is mind, we asked our readers to name their favorite dancing musician of all time. Here are the results.
1. Michael Jackson
It should come as no surprise that the King of Pop won this poll by a significant margin.
Michael Jackson's superhuman level of talent extended to an uncanny and utterly natural gift for dancing.
On top of possessing remarkable grace, Jackson was also wildly innovative.
In this clip from the Motown 25 special on March 25, 1983, the pop legend debuts the moonwalk,
a backwards gliding motion which would become his signature move and one of the most famous
dance techniques of the 20th Century.
