Bill Robinson in "King for a Day" 1934 

This is great! And that adorable Alice Barker whom you can Google is right there dancing like a queen! She was 102 when a documentarian came to show her the clips she was in. 🥰

Mr. Robinson, a true inspiration!! Thank you sir!! I'm so happy that we have these to look back on and learn from. Thanks so much for sharing! A true legend!! RIP

these are great songs and dances and showcases Bill Robinson's talent really well :)

R.I.P ALICE BARKER. You will always be remembered

The great Bill Bojangles Robinson!!!

Perfection ! ❤❤❤ Those shoes are really singing !!! ❤❤❤

WOW Thank you Great movie

My late grandfather told me as a youth that Bill Robinson would get mad than to bring out his pistol when he was losing gambling.And use to hide when he heard his wife was looking for him while gambling.

Fantastic especially the beautiful singing of 'Love locked out".

Who's here because Alice Barker , who's 102, got documented her own videos

A valuable historical short film from Warner Bros.

Bojangles was a beast

he was a handsome man.

Nice to see veteran comedian/singer Hattie Noel (1893-1969) playing the bride@19:00.

Michael Jackson was actually Bill Robinson reincarnated

Bill was rapping woow

Interesting to see the depiction of a black boss with white underlings in 1934, and a white dance instructor dismissed by Bill after calling him 'boy'. Times were beginning to change. But sad to see Bojangles's gambling addiction exploited for laughs. The film follows the convention of chorus girls with lighter skin tones than the men's- more 'feminine'. None could literally be called Black Orchids. Same as at the Cotton Club, where 'high yellow' girls danced for an all-white clientele.

16:15, did Michael Jackson get the Thriller dance idea from this scene?

interesting to think that baby might still be alive but everyone else is gone now

I wonder what the blacks today think of this movie and the portrayal of blacks?

Mr. Brown and Mr. Green.
