Hi, Guys 'n Dolls ... That girl's here again. Been away from the Coffee House (my YouTube Channel) as I've been busy working on my on-going film project THE SOCIETY. However, during the month of February, I will be taking time out each Friday to spotlight one specific Black classic pioneer every week. It may be an actor, dancer, author, signer, entertainer, poet, who knows ... The bounds are endless. It's the least I could do during this month. So join me back here every Friday for a new spotlight feature!
Starting today with Pigmeat Markham ... Take a look.

... At the Apollo Theater they put me in front of the band, and that's when I started directing the band. And the band continued as the International Sweethearts of Rhythm under the direction of Anna Mae Winburn."

[T]here aren't enough roles to keep me going. In the acting business, you take four or five years to get off the ground. So even when you do get it well and establish some success you've got all that catching up to do .... So it was catch-up, catch-up all the time.
