Bill Robinson quit school at age seven and began work as a professional dancer the following year. Bojangles (the name referred to his happy-go-lucky ebullience) starred in vaudeville, musical stage and movies. He invented the stair tap routine and was considered one of the world's greatest tap dancers. His film debut was in Dixiana (1930). He worked in fifteen movies, but his movie fame came primarily from the films he made with Shirley Temple -- Le petit colonel (1935), La petite rebelle (1935), and Mam'zelle vedette (1938). In 1989 the US Congress named his birth date as National Tap Dancing Day. Show less «
