All of these absurd, "uncle tom", comments! No respect for the man who performed this wonderfully crafted bit of history!!! All i hear is pity...and pity gets nobody ANYWHERE worth going... I'm so glad its been more than half a century since the civil rights movement! Awesome dance moves!❤

The way he choreographed that was by imitating what she did, which makes sense, then making it look the other way around when the scene was shot.

Mr B made his style of dancing so grand and easy. DOubt any one could do his dances today, white or black. Shirley Temple and Mr B just a natural team The Lil Colonel and Heidi the best made then and now. Thank you so much for sharing with the world. Pax +

Temple recounted years later: " Bill Robinson walked a step ahead of us, but when he noticed me hurrying to catch up, he shortened his stride to accommodate mine. I kept reaching up for his hand, but he hadn't looked down and seemed unaware. Fannie called his attention to what I was doing, so he stopped short, bent low over me, his eyes wide and rows of brilliant teeth showing in a wide smile. When he took my hand in his, it felt large and cool. For a few moments, we continued walking in silence. "Can I call you Uncle Billy?" I asked. "Why sure you can," he replied..."But then I get to call you darlin.'" It was a deal. From then on, whenever we walked together it was hand in hand, and I was always his "darlin.'"

A TRUE LEGEND in American History. The producers of the movie told Shirley Temple that she couldn’t touch Bo during the dance because the audience would find it repulsive. She and her mother called B.S. and said it was truly an honor to Dance with Mr. Robinson. Bo Jangles spent 3 weeks teaching Shirley the dance prior to the film. What an amazing talent.

I’m sure even the White , great tappers, like Gene Kelly, learned a lot from the Tappers of old. So great we have these videos to remind us.

And even that little bit of soft-shoe on the landing. Was certainly the precursor for the likes of Sammy Davis Jr, Gregory Hines and the rest.

So great, even today, 2024. Dancers should get more respect for the artists (and athletes) they are. Love the TAP! Wish it would come back into the cool Dance it is

Initially, the producers told Mr. Bojangles that he wasn’t allowed to touch Miss Temple, or hold her hand, but young Shirley insisted! She also credited him for making her a better dancer! NEVER tell a little girl “no”!! You will regret, one day!

I like that they used to reserve big chunks of screen time for badasses like Bojangles. They wanted amazing people in their movies and made the plot bend to get them in there. All the musicians and dancers and acrobats that weren't part of their regular cast list but they just had to have.
You seewhy you can't hire black people in your house hahaha we had one used to come help my princess russuan mother in Golan heights as si little girl i still loved her as much she did to us too

🎶I knew a man, Bojangles and he danced for you in worn-out shoes With silver hair, a ragged shirt, and baggy pants. The old soft shoe. He jumped so high! Jumped so high. Then he lightly touched down. Mr. Bojangles! Mr. Bojangles! Mr. Bojangles! Dance!🎶

Ca faisait partie de ceux qui était dans la planete saturne avec moi et à l’origine on se battait parce qu’ils voulaient me tuer quej’avais casser des velos. Plein de gens arrivaient à vivre avce eux et les aimaient bien. Et moi pas du tout. On continuait de vivre ma condamnation à mort sans arrêt Sauf au cinéma. Qui est une entente professionnelle d’1 certaine façon. Avec la chute dans l’industrie, d’1 territoire normand, ou d’1 hamer avec sa viande et peut-être avec ceux qui se sont fait renaître dedans. Tous les problèmes que je connaissais ce sont agglutiner. Quand c'est comme ça. Puisque le patrimoine est commun à toute l’humanité, tous les hamers tombes comme responsables de patrimoine commun. Les civils sont donc plus forts et généralement ils sont les pires tortionnaires. Ça reste mystérieux pour moi de comprendre pourquoi certains hamers continuent de les faire renaître. J’ai du mal à croire que celui qui a déjà fait renaître des gens dans sa viande ou celui qui s’est fait renaître dans la viande d’1 hamer de sa proche famille ou pas, soit toujours prisonnier et que ça recommence sans arrêt. Ce territoire sue lequel nous sommes est sorti des eaux il y a environ 2000 a’q. Il a toute suite mal commencer parce que ca a commencé par les voitures et qu’en même temps il y a eu énormément de peine de mort infligé un peu plus loin, des prequel et un cycle dn’urgence vital qui me concernait. La différence entreles corbillard et les voitures mécaniques c’est la même différence qu’il y a entre une poignée de porte et un interrupteur de lampe à plafond.

Quelques parts être noire, c’est comme avoir faim quand on est petit. Je serai incapable, je crois pour toujours, de gâcher de la nourriture pour me suicider ou vivre une passion tragique avce un vieux pédé qui plus puisse blanche ou noir ou bleu ou rose ou violet ou vert que ce ne changerait pas ma peur de manquer.
