I Had 20 Years Working Relationship With Michael Jackson - Jeffrey

[@liamthompson2604]

I can see why Jeffrey and Michael were so close!!. Michael not only realised his talent but his character as a person. What he said at the end was very profound. His body of work as an artist with Shalamar is fantastic but his choreography on Michael’s albums is legendary.

[@nativaconcepcion3991]

Thank you Jeffrey🙏🏽. For everything you contributed to the entertainment industry and dance as a whole. I wasn’t even born yet when that infamous ‘backsliding/moonwalk’ dance aired on U.K’s Top of Pop in 82. That just speaks to the enormous profound impact that he STILL continues to have on dancers and the world! Having such a calm gentle voice but so much wisdom that demands attention is not something you encounter daily. Thank you for all your contributions man and may you continue teaching our African ppl how valued they are. Much love from NYC.

[@ofentsev.moloisane672]

Thank you Jeffrey for your wise words, you are such an intelligent man. I'm glad to hear you mentioning MJ in such a positive light, some people misunderstood him and portrayed him as a bad person. May you continue to teach the African child the value of self worth. God Bless you. Much love from South Africa

Jeffrey is a great dancer.Shalamar was a great band.Shalamar needs to reunite and put some new music out.Jeffrey taught MJ the moonwalk!! Plus he worked with MJ productions.Jeffrey had a amazing life!❤❤❤

[@fluwzyt3007]

Very nice, sympathetic, interresting and intelligent man. Wellspoken. I saw him the first time in "The making of Bad, MJ". And liked him right away. He has a very beautiful career all the way. I was very happy to hear him say in all those years he knew Michael, that Michael overall was just a happy person. And they had fun... Not sad most of the time. Bless him 💜

[@diayfatoumata3682]

Thank you so much Mr Daniel

[@howardmotley2104]

Honest and intelligent man, who never forgotten his roots.

[@cheriemanzanares6792]

(6-17-2019 ) For me this guy jeffrey is really an EDUCATED PERSON he only shared the real facts about MJ's personality !, Jeffrey is an ETHICAL PERSON that's why all the way he described MJ is factual & had sense !Thanks so much Jeffrey of being a good person to MJ !

[@christinewomack8999]

Jeffrey is very intelligent. Should have been a teacher. Wouldn't have a problem with the attention of the students 🤗

[@tami8458]

Experience made him wise

[@GoddessFactor007]

Jeffrey made some great points. He could have made more if this guy was a more skilled interviewer-this guy interrupted constantly. He just plows through his list of questions without listening/responding to the previous answer 😥

[@mrsnet]

What a brilliant man Jeffrey is...wow! He speaks with such wisdom. And he doesn't look a day older than 50. I am a Christian, but l loved his interpretation of religion. Love his commentary about the GOAT Michael Joseph Jackson.

[@yosephmayfield8]

Indeed but it’s Michael Joe Jackson legally

[@thewanderingstudent9950]

A "christian" that loves any other interpretation of religion is truly a "christian". Think about it.

[@seriousstuff50]

Jeff, You owned the 'Backslide. You are so UNDERRATED....Seriously. People have know idea. Big respect to you

[@lovethyself744]

Jeffrey is incredible, beautiful, gifted, a legend but above all, very humble

[@Scholar_1]

🙏🇨🇦🇯🇲

[@johnf.hurtado1869]

wish the interviewer wouldnt have interupted Jeffrey when explaining why he would never meet another person, like MJ. He was just getting into the details of him on a personal level.

[@shalome.1262]

I cant believe he interrupted him like that. Jeffrey worked with MJ for so many years, we wouldve heard some truth about the man 🤦🏽‍♀️ Smh.

[@JD123874]

He was a poor interviewer.

[@nobelaharris7737]

This guy is great not only as an artist but a very nice and down to earth and very deep thinker he is indeed a great mentor for the young and up and coming artists on music dance the entertainment industry and life in general ❤👍🏾

[@nativaconcepcion3991]

I love the way this man speaks. His tone of voice is so gentle and yet when you have wisdom you command attention. I wasn’t even born until 10 yrs after that Top of the Pops show in the U.K where he made history with that ‘backsliding/moonwalk’ move however this is just goes to show how profound and what an impact that performance STILL has on ppl. Keep on loving ur fellow Africans and teaching them how valuable they are. Ur a wonderful man dude.

[@DJGary0910]

Jeffrey speaking FACTS. honestly

[@joellelenniger]

A good interview. however, the interviewer should not cut off the interviewee as done in this interview on several occasions. I really wanted to hear Jeffery completed thoughts on the questions posed including Michael Jackson.I wanted to hear the deeper insights/views of someone who KNEW Michael as Jeffery is very a knowledgeable intellectual. The title of the video is why I clicked and became very interested in the dialogue and personas in the interview. I also wanted to hear more about Shalamar and the other interesting answers Jeffery had, but he was cut off several times. Time is of the essence, but no need to rush and cut off the interviewee in mid sentence or thought. I will subscribe as it is educational.

[@annettehenderson927]

Agreed

[@queddogg22]

What I said too 🙄

[@Coachat]

Yeah he can’t make his points.

[@CBrown9758]

Jeffrey u truly are a legendary choreographer that assisted a legendary man of dance and music, thank U 😘.

[@joeyburrell3207]

This incredible talent and incredible brother makes me so proud to black. This bro is as deep and genuine as it gets y’all. How many people do you know of his caliber of talents, gifts, that has a deep mind as well. Jeff blows me away.Btw I’m a keyboardist and I always have fun playing Shalamar songs, especially doing Leon Sylvers bass lines on keys.👍👍👍😊😊🎶🎵

[@TheBrockwayBabe]

Please respond to the MJ cast podcast they are really excellent and are working very hard to uphold the legacy of Michael

[@TheBrockwayBabe]

yes!!!! Love the MJCast

[@fayeroberts7262]

Wow! I loved Shalamar growing up. So good to see what positive work Jeffrey is doing in Africa. Keep up the good work Jeffrey. By the way, you look half your age, you should share your secrets with the rest of us! Much love, from USA

[@zeeggyMczeegs]

What a sweet character. I really enjoyed hearing your stories, experiences, and opinion. Thank you and good luck.

[@garfieldharrison510]

Great interview. I had the pleasure of seeing Shalamar perform Live. Jefferey and the group was a phenom. The first time I saw the backslide done properly before Michael Jackson executed it was from Mr. Daniel on Soul Train.. Then I watched him live. Blown me away. So I learned it from watching him ,then emulating it back in the early 80's.I went on to be involved in the entertainment industry because of lot the guys he mentions in the interview.

[@brownstarized]

Jeffery speaking so many facts! I love this man!!!

[@LeeButler-r7s]

I used to watch him on soul train every Saturday mornings i use memic his dance moves he was like a role model to me One of the greatest dancers that ever lived!!!!!

[@James-oh5xc]

I am James F Jr... Jeffery Daniels or Daniel. Is an all around performer for whom I have a lot of respect and admiration. Shalamar, was good with all of the singers. However... Howard Hewett and Jody Whatley along with Jeffery Daniels or Daniel. Is the Iconic Group. For Michael Jackson to collaborate with him says mountains about his abilities. He is still a great inspiration for many of us. Thank You Jeffery Daniels and Thank God attribute everything you are to him. God Bless you.

Yep he and boogaloo shrimp but MJ just worked so hard at his craft until the the dance became fluent and transition in and out if different dances rather contemporary or street. Just pure soul. He was the beat and is the beat

Michael Jackson was free with sexually provocative dancing so that’s what we are seeing now. Tina Turner also dressed provocative and Prince stayed surrounded by attractive women, put the influences of those three together and you see the birth of this new generation.

What’s so sad as great a choreographer he is and he bashes Michael name and the money he paid him for 20 years Michael paid him and he didn’t complain or it didn’t bother him then so I wish your character or you was more humble and honest cause you know damn well that you talked Michael into learning how to do the moonwalk and even showed him and tried talking him into it for awhile then he saw how well you did it and it changed his mind but you know damn well that geron caszper candidate was hired and paid to teach Michael private lessons on how to do the moonwalk now be honest bro you was on tour and didn’t have time when Michael was free to teach him

Moonwalk was invented in the tap dancing times, maybe even before that too. Dunno. Long before Michael and Jeffrey. So its wrong that Jeffrey claims the moonwalk or something. or that people say Jeffrey or Michael invented it.

[@oemisc2880]

He didn't say he invented it & I don't believe Michael ever said he did either, but they both tweaked it to the version we see today & Michael took it to the next level.
