MJ was very good, but JD was the Master, he had seemingly effortless and superior muscle control, consumate grace and natural elegance. The impact he created with his on-the-fly dance routine with Shalimar in the UK on TOTP in 1982 has never been equalled IMO. It was a serious discussion point in schools, the streets and youth clubs forever, back in the day those who saw it never forgot it.
