This is gold to me. This my first time see her. I heard so much about her from elder performers who wanted me to do "Black Birds". This has reignited my interest in her as an artist and star that gave a lot of people work. Thank You.
Ms. Josephine Baker has a very recognizable overbite, and the lines of her cheeks beside her smile also very specific kind and her world famous Banana Dance is recognizable style like no other.
I do not know if this is true or not. However, I did hear in a video that Cab Calloway said, "It's not true that blacks were not allowed into the Cotton club. The only color the owners of the club cared about was green. But most blacks at the time did not have the money to pay for an evening of entertainment in a place like that."
Duke Ellington would play, and the way he’s play be so confusing to me. Like his fingers all over the place..
fantastic

Can you just imagine this live and in colour, and happening before your eyes? Like what the hell? Why can’t we have this now?
And everyone asks how come women were so skin in the old days!
Maravilloso!
That's how to do it!
The one in white is the originator of twerking.
