Boogie Woogie Featuring Child Prodigy, Sugar Chile Robinson

Until the other day, I had never heard of Sugar Chile Robinson (Frank Isaac Robinson). But an email has been making the rounds about Little Richard performing as a child in the first video below. However, that isn't Little Richard, it's Sugar Chile Robinson in the movie, No Leave, No Love, released in October 1946. He was about 7 years old at the time. The second clip is Sugar Chile with Count Basie. Talented and so fun to watch. This is classic stuff. Glad that "fake" email made the rounds! Watch them both, start to finish. You won't regret it.

Nancy Canson (who has started all the boogie woogie stuff) told me she talked to this man and invited him to Marshall to play. He is in poor health and had to decline. Just wanted you to know we almost got him here .... thanks for the info.
