These were some wonderful talents who didn't need hi-tech gizmos. Sheer entertainment and joy! Btw, TAP AND JAZZ go 2gether. You can really hear and feel the difference when folk are tap dancing and traditional jazz is the music. Wow:)
One band had PW on their Logo boxes. Who's that ? I think I figured it out: From IMDB: » Paul Williams (XII) (1915-2002) Paul "Hucklebuck" Williams was a band leader and songwriter. Mr. Williams brought the music world such tunes as 35-30, Alcohol, Back Bender, Boogie Mr. Williams, Easy Walking, South Shore Drive, The Hucklebuck, and The Twister Parts 1 & 2. His band was the house band at the Apollo Theatre & Atlantic Records. Born: July 13, 1915 in Lewisburg, Tennessee, USA Died: September 14, 2002 (age 87) in New York City, New York, USA »
