@ShaytanBozorg Say Jesus is lord, and I believe Jesus died on the cross for my sins, and arose from the dead fill me with The Holy Spirit instead of using Jesus' name as a curse word.

I know people are saying that this isn't appropriate because the songs about Bill "Bojangles" Robinson but that's just not true. It's very fitting as the song's about a white tap dancer Jeff Walker met in prison in New Orleans and not Bill Robinson. Love the song, the story behind it and of course the fantastic Mr Fred Astaire! Thank you LisaLaLisa92!

@Ostenob According to the wikipedia, Jeff Walker, the writer of the song, indicated that "he was inspired to write the song after an encounter with a street performer in a New Orleans jail and does not refer to the famous stage and movie personality Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. Walker said while in jail for public intoxication in 1965, he met a homeless white man who called himself "Mr. Bojangles" to conceal his true identity from the police."

The real Mr. Bojangles was Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. An American tap-dancer who rarely used his upper body in his dance, and showed his audience impressive skills with his fast legs and expressive face.
A one of a kind actor.
