A Soul Train dancer by the name of Geron "Casper" Candidate and his dance partner Cooley Jackson taught Michael Jackson the moonwalk (the backslide). Apparently, Casper was paid a thousand dollars for teaching Mike the move.
By the way, Jeffrey Daniel (from the group Shalamar) was the first person to moonwalk on television, during a performance of Shalamar's "A Night to Remember" on, the British music show, Top of the Pops.

Actually actors in the 1940's and 1950's "Moonwalked" on TV first (in movies and TV shows).

I just thought it was some sort of shuffle he invented himself so he could sneak up on young boys without the footsteps alerting them!
