i am not sure he was intent on integrating as much as he loved talent and had a good heart. He was told not to act to forward so he wouldn't seem to be black. you can see in the video how he goes fun and then tries to restrain himself. He was one good egg!

Some Dean Martin & some Frank Sinatra & Billie Holliday record’s played that night too. My husband was converted to the Mills Brothers that night. I’d been hearing them my whole life. My mom was named Margie he’d Change ‘Mary’ in the song 🎶Cab Driver🎶 to ‘Margie’, serenaded her with & without the record playing. I saw a British guitar teacher do a lesson using “Paper Doll” tonight & I got nostalgic for the other songs I grew up with. So glad this is posted. Mom died last year, daddy’s been gone dine 1992.
