Yeah, he said so in an interview with Mike Douglas from around 1975 I think. Michael had just watched "That's Entertainment" and he was all anamored with Fred and he said that Fred was built for dancing and that he was smoother then Gene. But after Fred he said Gene was his second favorite.

any link for the interview?

I could understand this:p, thank you:D
 
Uh, I'm not sure. I have it on a DVD. If you type in Mike Douglas and the Jackson Five on youtube, you might find it.

Yes, they were neighbours and MJ used to bump into him when he was out riding his bike. I can't remember where I read it. MJ has been around some of the greatest people of his time. He met them all.

I know, Mike has been sooooo lucky!

Well then again they were lucky to have met Michael! :D
 
the Rock my world WALK, with his shoulders up ducking the neck, was derived from Fred Estair aswell.. He does that on Bandwagon..

Bandwagon was the piece that is most appearant in MJ's influence..

1) The Billie Jean set
2) The 'rock my world' walk
3) The MJ walk (when he rocks his hands infront of his body)
4) smooth criminal outfit
3) the 'Dangerous' lines

you know what else influenced Dangerous performance alot??? SEE IT?>> lol! I'm sure you do
