History has blessed us with a number of incredible performers, but a live show can be immediately boosted by a musician who knows how to work the dance floor.
Michael and Janet Jackson arguably made it common for an urban artist to lead a group of dancers, whilst looking good and belting out a tune.
Nowadays, we have a wide range of performers who can do all of this and sell a few records at the same time and we thought that we at TaleTela would honour them in a gallery where we bundle together our very favourites.
Have a look through our picks and see if your favourite made the cut…
