99 YEARS OF NORMA MILLER - "The Queen of Swing"

Happy 99th Birthday Norma! She had a chance to see and enjoy it on here 99th Birthday. She passed May 5th 2019, just short of her 100th birthday.
A quick run through of Norma Millers astonishing dance career in almost a century.
She is the legendary Lindy Hopper from the Savoy Ballroom in NYC who toured the world with a group called Whitey's Lindy Hoppers, introducing the world to Swing Dancing. She worked with greats like Duke Ellington, Luis Armstrong and Count Basie during the golden age when everyone flocked to Harlem, New York City, the mecca for the greatest music, dancing and entertainment.
And a first view at what I would indicate as the clearest footage of "Twist Mouth" George (George Ganaway). He was one of the greats ....

I first saw her in the Redd Foxx E True Hollywood Story and just watched her in Ella Fitzgerald's biography, Norma Miller was a talented and funny lady!
