His movements are like stanzas of beautiful dance poetry. I’ve loved him every since seeing him as a little girl watching him dance with Shirley Temple. He was very sweet with her,

Good job. I love this guy. He and Shirley created scenes of joy that never fail to perk me up. I am 85 and these glowing ingredients in my soul have kept me smiling many a day. And now KZbin let’s me have these glories WHENEVER! Than which it gets no better than.

When comedic genius Buster Keaton was a young boy, Bill Robinson taught him to dance. Buster Keaton toured the vaudeville circuits with his parents’ act, and this is how he met “Bojangles”. Bill Robinson taught Shirley Temple to dance. What a generous man, and legacy.

I saw stormy weather last night on KZbin. But it's wrongly titled " Cabin in the Sky," which was the movie I was actually looking for.

Bojangles and little Shirley had an amazing chemistry. Their staircase tap dance in "The Little Colonel" is positively adorable. Have you, AOV, ever done a video on the Canadian-born singing actress Deanna Durbin? She was about the same age as Judy Garland and their careers began about the same time. Both were prodigies, Deanna having possessed an amazing operatic voice enabling her to sing Verdi at the age of 13. She was a huge Hollywood star in the late 1930s and the 1940s, but later quit movies and moved to France, after which it was impossible to find out what had happened to her up until it was revealed that she died in 2013 at the age of about 90.

I do enjoy your videos. But 3:48 is Fred Astaire in black face. He did it in a tribute to Bojangles in the movie Top Hat. Not sure if you meant for it to be there but maybe have a note to let others know...?

In a "tribute"? Robinson spoke out about how blackface was insulting and something he refused to do yet this is how Astaire pays "tribute" to him? 🙄 Why am I not surprised?

Fred Astaire was portraying Bill Robinson in the act 'Bojangles of Harlem' in 1936. I came a cross this picture and found it awesome and I wanted to include it as an "easter egg" I hope you don't mind! 🙂

Firstly "TAP" originated from the Irish/Scottish step dancing, via Appalachia immigrants! African dance does NOT use steps! Native American Indians do however! He was a great dancer however. Secondly, did you get it right that Robinson was a wife beater? There were MANY MANY Black movies during this same time frame!

Maybe we have a different definition of what a step is, but during the slavery era, enslaved persons, used drums and taps with their feet. As both the slaves and the Irish were poor, their dance styles influenced each other.
