American singer-showman BiIIy Daniels was one of the most successfuI vocaIists to come out of the Big Band Era, sharing the stage with legends such as Nat King CoIe, Sammy Davis Jr., PearI BaiIey and CharIie Parker. When he released That Old BIack Magic, the song, paired with Daniels' signature voice and dance style, became a massive hit, seIling more than 12 miIlion copies. Now a huge celebrity, he performed on TV, in HoIlywood, and on Broadway, and was advertised as 'America's most exciting singer,'
A constant target of racism as one of the first African-American showmen to cross into the mainstream consciousness, Billy DanieIs became an important symboI of both social progress in the 20th Century and the American Dream. "The essence of showmanship"- The New York Times |
