BLACK DANCE HISTORY on Instagram: "Bill Robinson shows off his “educated feet”: alongside the Tramp Band, in the 1943 film “Stormy Weather”. The song is “Linda Brown”. Bill Robinson was an impressive 65 years old when this movie was released - and it was his last feature film. Having lived a generous and fun-loving lifestyle, Robinson died almost penniless and his funeral was primarily paid for by his friend, Ed Sullivan (the TV host). #billrobinson #stormyweather #tapdance #tapdancer #tapdancin
