Tommy.
Tommy Johnson.
That was my humiliator.
I mean, at the age of 13, how could you be so humiliated?
Let me not get ahead of myself.
You see, I was going to a church right across the street from me.
That was at 141st Street in Harlem, between 7th and 8th Avenue.
They had a center down there that we used to go down to dance.
My dance step, side to side shuffle.
Side to side shuffle, regardless of what type of music it was.
And I would go there and I'd sit on the side where the young ladies would sit that didn't get a chance to dance too much.
And I would sit and sit.
And this young man by the name of Tommy Johnson would come and ask me to dance.
I'd get up and I'd follow him out to the dance floor like the moth to a flame.
And we'd get out there, Tommy would do slides
turns, splits, bend over and shake a tail feather.
And I would do my little favorite step.
Side, side, side.
Regardless of what he did, I would side, side, side.
That was my movements.
