A look back at 20th century African American pop culture: advertising, film, music, fashion and anything else I can get my hands on. All in good fun.

Who Said Black Folks Can't Swim?
Today, we dig d-e-e-p into the Soul Closet for this almost surreal item: a 1964-ish TV performance by Bobby Freeman, then 24, singing "C'mon On Swim." We dig Bobby, but the go-go dancers "swimming" across the floor at the end...why, that's just priceless.

Yes, it looks like they were being pulled on some kind of boards. Wild, wasn't it?
