Jacko didn't invent moonwalk says LaToya

As if Michael Jackson didn't already have enough problems: now there's a claim that he didn't invent the moonwalk, reports MSNBC.

The dance step is one of Jackson's biggest claims to fame. He is so closely associated with it that he called his 1988 autobiography Moonwalk.

But now Jackson's older sister LaToya is claiming that a dancer from the television show Soul Train taught Michael how to moonwalk.

"I don't know if you had this show called Soul Train," she told British television host Frank Skinner.

"There was this dancer, Geoffrey, who was always doing the moonwalk on that show. He taught Michael how to do it."

LaToya said that it had been called the backslide, but claimed Michael changed the name after he learned it from Geoffrey.
