  • Props to all the bellmen of that era. That would have been considered a "great" job back in those days. A few of my uncles were bellmen and sent all of their children to college. They were decent respectable men.

  • Club Casino guy is so handsome

  • Was that Obama @1:01??

  • @djataras although ten cents was still not much because of his race...think of the times..its nearing or during recession times and plus ten cents was quite a bit back then...i mean gallons of gas used to cost ten cents..so putting it in perspective makes it sound less worse than it is...however it still was a smaller amount than white performers..

  • kinda makes you wonder if he would be dancing as a bellman if the country wasn't so ignorant(racist) at the time. Nevertheless, very talented!

  • He was a genius.

  • Besides being talented, he was a hottie!

  • Bojangles

    Mister Bo Jangles

    when this clip was made, Slavery was a living memory. JimCrow Law obtained in most of the country. Mister Robinson gently, oh so gently made them look at him and see a MAN. He and his ilk, were the pioneers that led to the situation today, where the Preservation Hall Jazz Band performed on the Grand Ol' Opry stage, where Oprah Winphry is OPRAH; Country stars are doing Rap, a Black guy is President....honor his memory you midgets. He did great things.

  • Calling him names only shows the negative energy in your heart and mind, as well as your ignorance. If your filled with hate, negative emotions, and ignorance I feel sorry for you, please keep that inside your self. Do not feel free to share!!
