Michael Boogaloo Shrimp Chambers was my legend and I have studied and tried to copy his moves since I was a kid and saw Breakin 1&2, I am now 51 and still poppin, I will never get tired of watching and listening to this special person. Excellent documentary with great stories I hadn't heard before. I saw Jeffrey Daniels last year in England and they tried to attribute the moonwalk to him there. He is a good dancer but has nothing on Boogaloo Shrimp the master of animation. Love to you Michael ❤
Finally a respected and well deserved tribute to Michael "Boogaloo Shrimp/Turbo" Chambers! He's like me, never change no matter what! I which there was more to this documentary like when Turbo and Ozone would fly to New York and teach the B-Boys how to Pop n' Lock and in return they would teach them how to Breakdance new moves and would come back home to LA and teach everyone else what they learned from the New York dancers! AMAZING!!!
Always knowing what some gifted people, my brother. Shrimp 65 we was blessed. I always had energy, my brother. I've a walking on my hands doing the special things we did
21:12 -- smoothest moonwalk in the business. you see why michael was checking his style...legendary dancer...humble dude, i've heard nothing but good things about my man.
Jeffery Daniel of Soul Train then Shalamar was the FIRST to highlight the "moonwalk" on an overseas dance show in the seventies. BEFORE this dude OR Michelle Jackson. People don't do their knowledge OR due diligence anymore.
Watching Michael Chambers dance was just mesmerizing. He was SOOOOOOOOO fluid with all of his movements and his sense of rhythm was spot on. 80’s Nostalgia. I watch those movies over & over many times. They’re TIMELESS.
I was born is a small city in Northen England totally far removed from New York but still a poor working class place and I cannot explain how much that scene gripped us , even in school we had a teacher that loved the movie and we would have the TV rolled in and watch it in class even...Then a bit later as a graff writer travelling about I see that hundreds of thousands of kids had that same experience across the UK...Then you realise this was a global moment for kids.Damn right it should have a documentary !
Michael Chambers may remember this but when my mom was pregnant with me, she was in l.a. while they were filming Breakin. She met him and ozone. Michael rubbed my moms tummy when she was pregnant with me. So in a way, he was the first celebrity I met.
WE love you Turbo, and im from Portugal, yup PORTUGAL the country we watched the movies so many times BECAUSE of you, it was all about you and we can tell you are also an all around awesome GOOD person, just the BEST all we can wish you is hoping youre out there still having fun and living YOUR life how you want it to be, sending you endless love and hugs from us to you❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ excise my english and im now 54 years old, but we will never forget the BEST times of our lives right?? age is just a number💖💖
Bugalloo Shrimp & Ozone and even Kelly should be in the Hip Hop hall of fame ! Full stop 🛑!! They are legendary and were fundamental to the hip hop and break dancing movement.
I really enjoyed watching the documentary. Especially the part where he talks about MJ !I never knew he worked with him and taught him the moonwalk (backslide).Everytime you hear another story who taught Michael Jackson the moonwalk.I always admired Boogaloo Shrimp/Turbo.He had an unique style.Recently I watched the movie Breaki n again ,after I saw it first in 1984.I was 14 back then and loved the movie especially the broom scene.The way they combined breakdancing with ballet and jazz was just amazing!It's nice to know that even when he became famous at such a young age and met all these amazing celebrities , he stayed true to him self.I really love that!!👏👏Keep on dancin brother❤
As a filmmaker I have to say this is entertaining and very well produced. Great job A1. Full of information that I was not aware of, now to watch Breakin’ lol
I know all y’all didn’t think MJ learned the back slide, moon walk all by himself. Growing up in the 80’s during that “Break Dancing error” no one did it better than Michael Chambers aka boogaloo shrimp. Thanks Michael Chambers for clarifying where MJ got the “Moonwalk “ from. You younger generation will never know how much fun it was growing up in the 80’s.
Hello I enjoyed your Video! I always enjoyed Break Dancing back in the days! I grew up Break Dancing in the early 80's ! For a Girl I wasn't so bad at Break Dancing in 1980's!
*Micheal 'Boogaloo- Shrimp' Chambers* is one of a kind, talented and humble. And just WOAH, of MC teaching MJ those moonwalk moves, the 'Steve Urkel' robotic moves as well as meeting other infamous entertainers!! Keep poplocking everybody!! 😊🎉 Noted : the broom dance routine song were by *Kraftwerk* 'Tour de France' ... 👍🏾
True. And Breakin 2 almost didn't have Shabba Doo. He was going to be replaced because Golan/Globus didn't want to up his pay. They were cheap as hell. Notice Popping Pete and Pop N Taco aren't in Breakin 2? Also, the media had oversaturated the world with (a lot of really bad) breaking and the fad was dying by the time Breakin 2 was released. They had exploited the art form - which still thrives and grows mainly underground. But, this summer the OLYMPICS may revive the fad in the U.S. But there's a serious underground and international breaking community that still goes strong. It's just that little Biff in the mall doesn't know about it.
I was a kid in 1984.When i saw "Breakin" for the first time I was fascinated with the broom scene with the sounds of Kraft week Tour de France song.Im glad I was a kid at the time.My friends and practiced break dancing with our boombox and card board on the ground.Great times.
@@whatdaroMichael Chambers borrowed his dress style from Banning Pilot's Mascot and Drill team outfits. Phineas Banning is a high-school in Wilmington California where he was from. He lived a block away from me on Watson Avenue with his grandmother in Wilmington CA late 70's early 80's. He missed most of his high-school years there because that's when his career took off and he was no longer able to attend.
Finally a great video this is the first video I seen that told the truth I'm OG Mekanizm from Sacramento homeboy if Derrick lovinns and I'm listening and hearing about how LA came up with this art like you said we were doing this long before the movie and their weak dancers. Giving credit to shrimp for everything which isn't right but I just wanted to give u props
Just remember ‘moon walking’ was being done in the early 20th Century. But Michael Chambers (AKA Boogaloo shrimp) just refined it to a technically advanced art form.
Odd....i just had boogaloo shrimp at some Chinese take out recently Lol. I remember when Breakin' came out. Cool stuff. The music eas new, clothes dance and style.
Ooooooh my days thus guy was my hero I had breadkdance movies and my cousin got me into the soundtracks I live in london so no Internet I was mad young so couldn't jus go cinema when it came out but my school kids had the kitchen roll n used to try n do stuff was cool times n influenced me a lot I still type in my own shorthand because of the purpose way of writing some think illiterate until they realise anyways this guy was so cool so pleased I got to find this
You were very skilful among your pears and others. Yet you were not the lead. How did you manage your ego? Some of the dance like moon walk was from your brother who taught you and you taught Michael Jackson, yet you remained silent about it. Michael was known worldwide yet you were not jealous about it even though some of the styles came from you. I admired at you for living a quiet life. Even in Breakin you were more iconic to me than shabado yet Shabado was the lead but you served faithfully. This taught me a great lesson that even if you are good and better than your leader you need to serve under a leadership Faithfully and with with humility.
Good documentary I love dancing it’s fun and there’s a movie is so good and breakin is also my favorite dance movie that broom scene in the film was cool amazing

To me Shrimp was the best all around breaker I seen. He could do it all. Wave, poplock, floorwork, knee spin, back spin, uprock, flair. Now there are others who could break and wave better than him but the ones who could , couldnt do both. Like Poppin Taco's wave was crazy! but he couldnt go to the floor. As great as Crazy Legs was, he never waved or popped. There was no one who could do both effectively.
No disrespect but Jeffrey Daniels does a great moonwalk/backslide and I saw him do it at a concert. There is a TH-cam video that his ex-wife claims she saw Jeffrey Daniels teaching the moonwalk to Michael Jackson th-cam.com/video/xxUIuaXbxJY/w-d-xo.html. In my opinion Boogaloo does the moonwalk better and Michael Jackson's moonwalk looks more like Boogaloo's. His moves are flawless. The jaw-dropping broom dance is ICONIC.
What a guy, fantastic life story! I'm 49 and also lived the whole early hip-hop days with intensity (in Europe). Imagine going down in History as the man who taught Michael Jackson his most recognizable move! Wow. The only thing i would have passed (if it had been me) was the White House thing, mostly because i don't support the american War on Drugs stupidity, but other than that, everything he participated was great and had a big cultural influence.
I literally wore my Breakin vhs tape out. Classic movie. But nobody on this thread is gonna give Kraftwerk any love? Their song Tour De France was a perfect background for Mikes dance sequence.
He is literally one of the nicest and most genuine human beings I have ever seen or heard.

..and theres inane videos on YT with way too many more views than this legend? The world is back to front when it comes to what is real talent
Saw Breakdance (UK title) in Summer '84 (Aged 11), instantly became a Breakdancer because of Turbo.
I was a kid in 1984.When i saw "Breakin" for the first time I was fascinated with the broom scene with the sounds of Kraft week Tour de France song.Im glad I was a kid at the time.My friends and practiced break dancing with our boombox and card board on the ground.Great times.
Wonderful Documentary , we have to start recognizing the people behind the greatness in all cultures
Most people don't know that he taught Michael Jackson how to moon walk!!!! Living Legend
also MJ "borrowed" his style, buckles, zippers and one glove.
I mean... Did you watch the video?
Bill Bailey did it first in 1955 an then The Lockers (Rerun from What's Happenin) did it on tv in 1975
Jeffrey Daniels from Soul Train taught MJ how to Moonwalk. He called it the Backslide. It was on the Soul Train Doc on VH1

loved it
36:19 Trippy Red at 30 😂
I could see the balance in him from having a mother and father in the house.
How come they didnt include ozone and kelly in the interview
I can verify. Turbo was the reason I wanted to dance.
I was 13 when the film came out and it blew my mind, i would have liked to have copied him but I stuck with BMX and Bob Haro 😅😂
He went in junior high with my brother in wilmington california
Love You Facts...
I cannot believe the American Olympics Break Dancing Team did not call him! That really pisses me off, they really missed an opportunity.
I think the husband-wife combination created the Olympic competition space whereas the husband was the judge and the wife was a competitor.
Back when venice was fun instead of durtee b umz everywhere
Poppin n taco looks like Ronnie Van Zant and Lynyrd Skynyrd if you look close at him he looks like Kid Rock
🐐
I thought Casper was also one of the dancers who taught moonwalk to Mj?
