Song

Does anybody know the name of the song Gene danced to? Wencer 17:43, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

I think it's "Jumpin' at the Woodside" by Count BasieTorc 09:08, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

yes, that's the first part....the vamp...the second part, where you shoot out your arms to daaaaaah-dah dah-dah-dah is harry james "two o'clock jump...often erroneously said to be basie's "one o'clock jump"... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.59.126.91 (talk) 12:41, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

IATSE

I know it says it in the reference, but I find it almost impossible to believe that Gene Gene, The Dancing Machine, was the first ever African-American IATSE member - it's been around since the 19th century and theater is one of the industries most likely to accept black people, who have an very long history in performing arts. This "fact" almost has to be wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:647:6480:B640:55A8:588B:4B09:D35F (talk) 23:55, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
