比尔「柏贞格」罗宾森 (Bill “Bojangles” Robinson) 于1878525日出生

罗宾森自小就是一个孤儿,他六岁时就开始在地方上的啤酒花园进行表演,这个年幼的「舞蹈家」,或者是随歌起舞的小孩子,远离家园来取乐观众。他在舞台上参与歌舞剧的表演,和许多舞者、歌手、喜剧演员,以及演员一同工作。到了他成年之后,罗宾森在巡回的歌舞表演以及夜总会里表演踢踏舞,也因此赚进一笔财富。你可能在许多老电影里看过罗宾森和有一头卷发的酒窝女孩一同跳舞。你知道那个女孩是谁吗?


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?
