I heard Dizzy Gilespie say one of these guys was drunk and fell over his trumpet backstage, bending the bell upwards. He had to go on and decided to keep the mis shapened horn. The instrument became Dizzy's trademark.

Just discovered this duo. Sad that there is so little footage on this incredible team. I just went to Amazon and ordered "It's Black Entertainment" to see more of them if possible.

@gypsylady123 i am currently reading june cross' book and i'm on the same part.when she discribes her fathers act i had to look it up on you tube and i concur jerry lewis did pinch off of james cross' act. he was truly magnificent all of the real talent was before our time god i wish i could have seen some of these great performers in person.

I am so in love with these two brilliant performers, ever since I discovered them independently on the dvd It's Black Entertainment (2002 documentary). They are of a similar dancing (hoofer) caliber as the Nicholas Brothers, although James "Stump" Cross and Harold "Stumpy" Cromer were not brothers. In fact, Harold was Stumpy II, since the original Stumpy, Eddie Hartman, was lost to heroin addiction by the late 1940s!
Anyway, Love to all gymnastic dancers forever.

I read June Cross' book. I'm on the part where her father James Cross died. As soon as she said Jerry Lewis stole his act, I just had to find some video! I totally agree with June Cross! Love the book too.

i'm soo glad u posted this video even tho i bought the entire movie for a dollar at some store. Its part of a bigger variety show with black talent.
THEY were amazing and Martin and Lewis DID steal their act--or tried to, becuz they couldnt MATCH Stump and Stumpy's talent by a mile.

James Cross was a comic genius. The truth of the matter is that Jerry Lewis did pirate so much of his own act from James Cross.
My most sincere thanks to Mr. Cross' daughter, June Cross for her bravery in telling her own story in PBS' "Secret Daughter" In recounting her own story, she also shared her father's story with the world.
Also, thanks to granki17 for up loading this forgotten piece of American entertainment.

they were what Martin and Lewis wanted to be. In fact Martin & Lewis copied from them. Sad they did not get the recognition they really desrved
