lol Actually, he's not,,,,



Ziegfeld Follies

And I'm sure it might be earlier than Ziegfeld considering that he stole alot of the "group dance" routines from black performers.

In short, nobody really knows for sure who came up with the concept.

You know what? The hell with it!

King Solomon invented the back-up dancing troupe. He had 700 wives and 300 concubines (hoes). That is a lot of freak dancing there!

The Temptations were around a hell of a lot longer than Janet.


Smokey Robinson & The Miracles were BEFORE The Temptations. But these were self-contained group that were their own dancers.

I would say Ike & Tina Turner had back-up dancers before anyone else.


my first thought was Ike and Tina as well.
