- 2/17/93 From the 1989 Broadway show "Black and Blue" televised on WNET-TV.
The celebration of the black art forms of jazz, blues, and tap showcases the phenomenal dancing of tap masters and the vocal artistry of legendary blues singers in performance of the following songs, among others: "After You've Gone"; "I Want a Big Butter and Egg Man"; "I've Got a Right to Sing the Blues"; "Ain't Nobody's Business if I Do"; "Stormy Monday Blues"; "Body and Soul"; "Am I Blue?"; "I Can't Give You Anything But Love, Baby"; and "What Did I do to be So Black and Blue?" Featured performers, among others, include blues singers Ruth Brown, Linda Hopkins and Carrie Smith; and hoofers Bunny Briggs, Lon Chaney, George Hillman, Benard Manners, Jimmy Slyde, and Dianne Walker. Ingenious use of sets and costumes enable this revue to capture the era of the music used. - Source
