These pioneers had to endure so much in order to lead the pathway for artists today. So sad that prejudice was so strong and deleted his part in the film.
-
Who else can make so many taps look incredibly effortless? I also love that silly smile constantly on his face. He is my favorite hoofer for sure.
-
Wait, WHY was the scene deleted?
I can't see ANYTHING offensive or controversial about that,
-
The one and only Bill Robinson! He was so talented!
-
Incredible talent, but at the same time I'm happy to see how much tap has innovated and grown over the years.
-
@rolandangler He looks like he's only 29. Amazing.
-
I'm not sure whether anyone has mentioned this here, but Bill Robinson was 59 years of age when he danced in this film in 1937.
Didn't over 1 million people come out in New York for his funeral?

@truthhitmanisback Probably as far as tap goes, he was undeniably the best. Astaire's greatest strengths were elsewhere. There was no one like him. Kelly started late for a dancer and combined athletics with dancing and also relied on his original choreography to show himself to advantage. Kelly freely admitted Astaire was greater than him as a dancer. For pure tap, it's Robinson hands down.

Ironic when he stands in front of the bandstand, it appears he has wings....You go boy! You were very talented and the greatest!!

Black talent was beautiful as well... Too bad it was stifled

Bill Robinson brought Tap up onto the balls of the feet, changing it from Hoofing to the art of Tap! We celebrate Bill Robinson and his contribution to Tap each year on his birthday.... May 25th. International Tap Dance Day recognizes and honours Bill Robinson. He will never be forgotten.
