Rubberlegs Williams

Oscar Pettiford, "Worried Life Blues", 1945

Henry "Rubberlegs" Williams (July 14, 1907 – October 17, 1962) was an American blues and jazz singer, dancer and occasional female impersonator. A star of Vaudeville, he is probably best remembered for his singing work with Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie, although it was his dancing for which he was renowned in New York City and Boston.
