Patterson and Jackson broadcast on Ralph Cooper's Jumpin' Jive Patterson and Jackson performer Patterson, Warner performer Jackson, Al performer Theatrical Performance 1943-03-27 Apollo Theater Ralph Cooper's "on air" show live at the Apollo Theatre. Patterson and Jackson, hefty but fleet-footed ton of tapping appear on Ralph Cooper's Jumpin' Jive with their favorite bits of nonsense. "What do you know, Joe?" is last year's talk. Now, when you walk down Harlem's long Lenox Avenue, these days they say, "What do you go, Joe?" Jackson was on hand first this particular Tuesday evening, so he explained to Cooper. "You know in every comedian team there is the one intelligent and the one ignorant guy. The intelligent one can find his way around-- so her I am! Looks like Patterson won't make it tonight." Just as he said that, Patterson came bursting in crying. "I'm Warren Patterson, the other half of this intelligent team!" Patterson did again his fine interpretation of the Ink Spots singing "Do I Worry." [Photograph of Patterson & Jackson confirms they have taps on their shoes. Both are tap dancers, and incorporate tap into their comedy routine.] Performing Arts Encyclopedia http://www.loc.gov/performingarts Sampson, Henry T.: Swingin' On the Etherwaves: A Chronological History of African Americans in Radio and Television Broadcasting, 1925-1955.
