He taught a young Fred Astaire some showstopping tap moves. He was part of the classic act Buck and Bubbles that played every important vaudeville house, and performed in the Hollywood classic "Cabin in the Sky". And even if it's not true that George Gershwin wrote the part of Sportin' Life especially for him, he played the role in the original cast of Porgy and Bess. Are those enough reasons for you to remember the name John W."Bubbles" Sublett?
Witness the awesomeness:
Despite some schlocky arrangements (think backup chorus on Ray Charles' "I Can't Stop Loving You") there's some real charm on the album.
Hear the music
