比爾‧「柏貞格」‧羅賓森 (Bill
「Bojangles」 Robinson) 於1878年5月25日出生
羅賓森自小就是一個孤兒，他六歲時就開始在地方上的啤酒花園進行表演，這個年幼的「舞蹈家」，或者是隨歌起舞的小孩子，遠離家園來取樂觀眾。他在舞台上參與歌舞劇的表演，和許多舞者、歌手、喜劇演員，以及演員一同工作。到了他成年之後，羅賓森在巡迴的歌舞表演以及夜總會裡表演踢踏舞，也因此賺進一筆財富。你可能在許多老電影裡看過羅賓森和有一頭捲髮的酒窩女孩一同跳舞。你知道那個女孩是誰嗎？
Orphaned as a baby, Robinson began performing in local beer gardens at age six. Within two years, this young "hoofer," or song-and-dance man, was entertaining audiences far from home. He performed on stage in "vaudeville," shows featuring numbers by dancers, singers, comedians, and actors. By the time he was a young adult, he earned top dollar dancing on the vaudeville circuit and in nightclubs. You may have seen him in old movies, dancing alongside a little dimpled girl with golden curls. Can you guess who she was?
