This breathtaking video & sound quality performance is fron the 1946 movie "Jivin' In Be-Bop" that features a lot of Dizzy Gillespie performances. I'm researching the gorgeous, multi-gifted Daisy Richardson now. Sadly, there is not much info online about her (she's not even listed in Wikipedia). Those who know bio info (date & place of birth, etc) could really help out by sharing info about this diva. Thank you for sharing this glimpse of her with a global audience. :)

@littlepo25 I never said dance wasn't important Black dance history is veryimportant, even though most people today cant get down like black dancers could in the past. Only thing black women move now is their behind.
