    Girl in the yellow shirt was the only one who got on stage unassisted. Then she busy. She definitely should've been the last one on stage.

    Would the music industry and the shallow generation of today follow an older man looking like that? I miss those days and all the talented artists that gave us beautiful music.

    The REAL Funky Chicken done old school the way it was originally intended. Not everyone has the ability to work the legs while balancing on the toes so the dance was modified through the years. This is the best rendition of the actual dance.
