 Mr. Bojangles, the autobiography of Bill Robinson.
Author: Haskins, Jim & N R Mitgang Published: 1988, 2000 More than fifty years after his death, Bill 'Bojangles' Robinson is still the most famous black tap dancer who ever lived. He was the first black single dancer to star in white vaudeville circuits, appeared on radio and television, and played to packed houses on Broadway. This, the first full-length biography of Bill Robinson, reveals the charmer, brawler, athlete, entertainer, and crusader for actors' rights behind the man who pushed past the colour barrier in the first half of the 20th century. |
