What Happened To Apollo's Sandman? - Story You Should Know 

That's awesome memories right there!

I remember the day I met him Garvey Park. I was somewhere between 8 and 10 years old and there was an event in the park that day. My father would to take me to events celebrating our African and African-American heritage every chance he had. The look of awe and Joy on my father's typically stoic face, made me smile. I had been taking tap lessons for almost two years at that point, but the three-step (as childhood me has named it and never bothered to look up) and heel click that I learned from him on a summer day in 1990-something ain't left my repertoire yet. Foot note (no pun intended): my Dad took it a level up and learned to double-heel click that day. Something I still can't easily do. Thank you for giving me and Pops a memory we both value to this day, as family, as artists and as fans; Much obliged Mr.Sims ✊🏾😌

That was nice of you to share his story with his son. I'm sure the wer 100's or 1,000's of people including me always wondering what happened to 'The Sandman"???!!! I don't know how or why it I'm glad this popped up!!!😊😊😊❤

WAS, brother

Right I remember all that too 😂😭 I clicked so fast when I saw this on my timeline interested in his story and we actually share the same birthday 🥰 RIP Sandman 🙏🏽🕊👼🏾🕺🏾💯💓

I looked forward to seeing him on the show. He was hilarious 😂

That's why the Cosby show was so great to me. They always had guest stars on the show who were/ should be known.

E. Jones you are so right, shows made for us. Those days are over. Showtime at the Apollo, The Cosby Show, A Different Would, Living Single, New York Undercover, In Livin Color, Sister Sister, Soul Train and countless others.

Yes indeed

@@kaywashington7284 I'm white as a sheet and I loved Showtime at the Apollo, The Cosby Show, A Different World, and In Living Color. Those were fantastic shows. I also enjoyed Amen and Roc!

Yes!!! I would love to hear her story!!!

Yeah. I heard that she was sandman wife. I don't know if that was true or not.

I believe her name was “Ms.Eva”.

@@blessingsbanks2508 that's it,and she had a Jehri Curl and wore glasses.

I remember her!! The Apollo ain't been the same since her and Sandman Sims

Challenge!!!😅🤣

Exactly, 😁😁😁

He's a legend in harlem!!

Facts!

The one with the breath so bad that she didn't need a stick of big red chewing gum, but needed to chew on a whole Indian?

Watch the whole thing, it's truly unbelievable. Just search Hellzapoppin dance scene.

She ain't dead...she is her own worse enemy

@@carayj why what happened

@Jayzo Black Mamba Jr come on quit being funny. you know what I mean. I swear it's ALWAYS your own ppl

@Jayzo Black Mamba Jr I don't understand y'all men today that love to argue and come for women. What is that about??

I also want her to return. Lauryn Hill is an amazing singer, but I think she didn’t like the going ons in the Music Industry. She wrote two songs before she left the business about Getting Out. Some try to say she is Bipolar. She is so very talented.

We have to bring Tap Dancing 👞💃🏾🕺🏾back.
