Tribute Mondays: Stepin Fetchit

Lincoln Theodore Monroe Andrew Perry (May 30, 1902 – November 19, 1985)


Comedian and Film Actor, Stepin Fetchit, was  successful in the 1930's, but had a slump in his career in the later decades. He was criticized by Civil Rights Activist for his, "The laziest man in the world" character and his achievements mostly overlooked. Thanks for your contribution Mr. Perry, you are appreciated. Please take a listen here and have a great Monday: Stepin Fetchit Rap (Lincoln Perry) from the1945 musical "Big Timers"  and Miracle In Harlem (1948)
