OH, and to conclude my lesson in Michael Delorenzo... he was in the original Fame movie.

See? I told you he was a great dancer. lol

Ok, enough of hijacked this thread.

lol

Michael Delorenzo was in the Fame movie, the Fame TV series, NY Undercover, and DOZENS if not HUNDREDS of other shows and videos. He's in "Dancing On The Ceiling" too. He's like the dancing Hector Elizondo.

Before she was Sheila E, she was Sheila Escovedo, an Oakland based Jazz Percusionist who performed with her father's band Azteca.
1. She worked with Lionel Ritchie and appeared in what video>>>>?????
Here's a hint:
1. The video was choreagraphed by the same guy who choreagraphed MJ's Beat It.


Sheila E played with a LOT of people, including George Duke (and is in his videos). She played on Lionel's tour (my aunt saw the tour and she was still drumming for Lionel. Pointer Sisters opened.) Diana Ross, Herbie Hancock, and Marvin Gaye are others she played for. Her musical experience goes well before any Azteca connection. In fact, on Tavis, she talked about how she was happy playing, and Prince had been keeping tabs on her for years, before he pulled her into the spotlight. She said she never wanted to sing or lead a band, she just wanted to play.

"that guy" is the ever famous, and late, Michael Peters. He was also known for making Pat Benetar dance in "Love Is A Battlefield". He also choreographed, and appeared in "Beat It", as well as created moves w/ MJ for "Thriller". He also worked on Dreamgirls, and I believe he won a Tony (along with the fabulous Michael Bennett) for choreography for that show. He was huge in the Broadway world, and had a great reputation from what I've read, often being noted as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, choreographer to ever live.

I was sad when he died. He was only 46, and had HIV/AIDS.


Thanks for the confirmation. I thought he had died of AIDS, but I wasn't sure it has been so long... and I my memory is starting to fail me. You know when you hit 40, nothing works right anymore. sad

He and Malik were the lead stars in the show. And the show always started with a music montage of some sort, usually with a current hip hop or R&B song.

Aw wait....I'm confusing my Michaels. I'm thinking of the other Michael. The older guy who choreagraphed Beat It and Running With the Night and also Thriller. I think you guys are confused too. Michael Peters ( Delorenzo) died of AIDS. Delorenzo (not Peters) was on NY Undercover.

THIS IS PETERS




THIS IS DE LORENZO

Before he was an official protege, he was a bit of a business man.


Hint:
He gave a profitable gift because he was such an "Enterprising" man.

I think both Michaels appeared in the MJ video Beat It. That is why you are getting them confused. too many dayum Michaels... lol

Delorenzo appeared as a dancer in MJ video... Peters the choreographer also appeared in the same video... see pic above for Peter in the video.
