Tap dancer as well.

Jimi Hendrix always thought he had big hands. But, that was before he shook the hand of Slim Gaillard! ;-)

For those that didn't know Slim's daughter married Marvin Gaye. Their daughter is a musician as well. Slim's granddaughter. Lot of talent in the family for sure.

Slim Gaillard was a man with great talent, courage and humor. Thank you for that mister Gaillard! Yip Roc Heresy 😎

You need to watch the Slim Gaillard 4 part Arena documentary on KZread if you haven’t already. I fell in love with the dude watching them.

Were they both just terrific! The too talented for words Slim gone 31 year today and the wonderful very funny Flip Wilson gone 23 years now and missed everyday. We will not see your like Slim nor yours Flip in this world again.

Remember watching this episode. My Mom was singing along with the songs.

I loved Flip Wilson ever since I was a little boy. I used to do imitations of him and his Geraldine character for the neighbors and they would laugh and laugh. At the time I thought I must be very good at it. Now I realize that a three or four year old blond boy with blue eyes was maybe cute and maybe kinda funny, but not likely very much like the original.

Loved those songs. Used to jitterbug to them.

Joy has to be a big part of the act of playing music-Slim understood this fact so clearly.

Thanks! Slim Gaillard, a mountain of a musician and a mountain of a man too :)

Slim Gaillard will be staying funny + fresh forever, although the superfluousness of our host, in relating case.

Потрясающе!Великолепный музыкант и комик.Современные Теле-говношоу даже рядом не стояли!!!

Incredible!!

love it. 2 incredibly talented guys!

Flip was fun-ee! Where was I then, out at some damned club? ..

Great. McSkivens a vout-a-roonie

. . . . Mc`s Givens McVouty Oreenie ;))

Must be the best thing Flip ever participated in.

Vout!

The Shizzle man (Snoop Dog) got his inspiration from Voute Route Slim!

They both had just come from auditioning for Blazing Saddles.

Cuba ha dado grandes músicos, este es uno de ellos. si vas a Cuba, levanta una piedra y encontrarás un musico.

Vout!!!!!!

I didn't like Flip's behaving as if he were humoring a dotty old uncle. Gaillard was a talented and uniquely irreverent musician. Check out some of the clips on KZread of Gaillard's performances in vintage movies.

I didn't get a sense of disrespect here from Flip. I get the sense that Flip was having fun with Slim, not at his expense. Flip had a history of reverence for his predecessors in the entertainment field who appeared on his show and in other appearances. This was especially evident with Louis Armstrong in one of his last television appearances.

You have to bear in mind that it was the sixties and this was one of the few African-Americans who had his own show

My sense was that Flip did indeed respect Slim, his art and his funkiness.

I miss Flip!
