@mjslegacyliveson: A new sophistication turned up in the music on “Dancing Machine.” That song had the best horn part we’d worked with yet and a “bubble machine” in the break, made out of synthesizer noise, that kept the song from going completely out of style. Disco music had its detractors, but to us it seemed our rite of passage into the adult world. I loved “Dancing Machine,” loved the groove and the feel of that song. When it came out in 1974, I was determined to find a dance move that would enhance the song and make it more exciting to perform and, I hoped, more exciting to watch. So when we sang “Dancing Machine” on Soul Train, I did a street-style dance move called the Robot. That performance was a lesson to me in the power of television. Overnight, “Dancing Machine” rose to the top of the charts, and within a few days it seemed that every kid in the United States was doing the Robot. I had never seen anything like it. - Michael Jackson #michaeljackson #trending #dancer #fyp #michaelmovie
