Strolling is historic and groundbreaking.

The long thought lost; The Strolling 20s will be shown on YouTube in celebration of Harry Belafonte April 30th.

Harry Belafonte produced this entertaining and informative look at Harlem in the 1920s in 1966.

In 2023 it is normal to watch a show produced, written, choreographed, and starring an all-African American cast, but in 1966 it was groundbreaking.

These were not just any performers/writers, Duke Ellington, Sydney Poitier, Sammy Davis, Diahnn Carroll, Joe Williams, and Langston Hughers - all preserved at the height of their powers.

Thank you to Mr. Belafonte for once again using his clot to portray the dignity of African Americans and thank you to the YouTube collector for allowing to see Mr, Belafonte's creation once again.

Don't miss the opportunity to see The Strolling 20s with Poitier/Davis/Belafonte.

Great 60s TV

I can not find a video of this amazing show which might now only exist in memory. It was one of the single best specials of the 60's featuring almost every notable black star of the era performing in music, dance & drama vignettes the poetry of Langston Hughes. Most memorable performances were the poems Harlem Sweeties and Weary Blues

The stars included Sammy Davis, jr., George Kirby, Sidney Poitier, singer Gloria Lynne, Langston Hughes (he wrote the script for the show!), Harry Belafonte, singer Joe Williams, Diahann Carroll, Nipsey Russell, Paula Kelly and, yes, Duke Ellington

If a tape does exist, it would be a present for the ages.
