比爾‧「柏貞格」‧羅賓森 (Bill
「Bojangles」 Robinson) 於1878年5月25日出生
當電影與廣播在1930年代取代歌舞表演，成為受到大眾歡迎的休閒之後，羅賓森也立刻「跳入」電影事業。他曾參與14部電影的演出，通常都是和秀蘭·鄧波兒 (Shirley
Temple) 演對手戲。此外，他也加入一部由非裔美籍人士所發行的電影「暴風雪」 (Stormy
Weather) ，與蓮納‧荷恩 (Lena Horne) 一起演出，這在當時是相當少見的。
比爾‧羅賓森一直到年老的時候，都還持續在舞台與電影演出裡贏得觀眾的歡呼。在他61歲的生日慶祝會上，他沿著紐約市百老匯街道跳著舞。一直到現在，踢踏舞舞者與喜愛者仍然相當尊敬比爾‧「柏貞格」‧羅賓森，認為他是一個天才職業舞者，並且也是一個仁慈大方的人。
When motion pictures and radio took over vaudeville's popularity in the 1930s, Robinson danced right into the scene. He appeared in 14 films, most frequently opposite Shirley Temple. He also appeared with Lena Horne in
Stormy Weather (1943), an African American production, rare at the time.
Bill Robinson continued to wow audiences with his moves on stage and in film, even late into his life. On his 61st birthday, he danced down the street of Broadway in New York City. Performers and fans of dance still pay tribute to Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, a man of professional genius and personal generosity.
