It's refreshing to see Bojangles perform without having to dress like a slave or a domestic servant.

Because it spews of ignorance, intolerance and stupidity to attack someone for having different taste.

[dnettles]

WOW! Two giants. What a blessing!!!!!!!

[SmallieM]

Come back and dance again, Mr. Bojangles.

Bill Robinson trained and practiced more than most people could ever imagine. His effortless style belies the fact that he worked so hard to be so great. He is listed as a record holder for running backwards over 100 yards--13.5 seconds! An amazing performer along with the genius, Fats Waller. Love it!

absolutely delightful!

Such an amazing film clip... there's more TALENT going on in this five and a half minute clip, than in a whole season of some famous reality talent show, now on TV.

[sleeplessinsale]

@louswire and that's not even an exaggeration. You're right about that 100%

[busessuck1]

Real nice film... Wasn't he like 60-odd years old?

[aoxomoxoa88]

Watching the back and forth between the two, minded me of Ali and Frazier but on a musical level. Both guys win in this bout!

[tubemagpie]

Great dancing ..... roots firmly i England!

Ist part pure Lancashire clog steps 2nd part (solo) Westmorland in style!!!

As Sam Sherry said his style of dancing is "pure clog".

The Americans did NOT invent tap dancing!

[lordkoos]

@tubemagpie They didn't invent it but black Americans took it to another level...
