Arthur Duncan

While Duncan could be counted on for a consistent solid rhythm and big finish, he rarely repeated himself and "was not a relaxed dancer."

The stress of doing so caused the look on his face to be strained, "wavering between smarmy and scared, the smile of a man concerned about the pistol sticking into his back.

"[7] In 2018, Duncan had the opportunity to reunite with White on Steve Harvey’s show Little Big Shots: Forever Young where he revealed he was not aware of the controversy at the time of its occurrence.

"[10] After his time on The Betty White Show and with USO, Duncan was discovered by Lawrence Welk's personal manager Sam Lutz.

[11] Several years after joining The Lawrence Welk Show, Duncan sang and danced a blend of old and new routines at the International Frolics in Los Angeles in 1967.

[12] Duncan also kicked off the opening of the new Richmond office of Home Savings and Loan Association on May 3, 1979, in California.

[15] Arthur Duncan danced with Gregory Hines a second time that year on September 18 at Carnegie Hall.

In 1988, around March 10 through 13, he played Mr. Magix in the Long Beach Civic Light Opera's "My One and Only" a musical parody that first opened on Broadway in 1983 and won three Tony Awards.

[17] A year later, Duncan performed at San Francisco's Kimball's East, alongside Robert L. Reed.

[21] He made more TV guest appearances on Diagnosis Murder with Dick Van Dyke, Columbo with Peter Falk, and The Phil Donahue Show.

Most biographies during his lifetime had used the birth year of 1933, a mistake which he never corrected, since "he never wanted to discuss anything personal," according to his wife.

[26] Due to his long-lasting and outstanding tap dancing career, Duncan has earned many awards and much recognition.

In 2003, Duncan was featured on the Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy Association Telethon, where he represented "the eldest of three generations of tap".

[27] In 2008, he was presented with an honorary Doctor of Performing Arts in American Dance degree also from Oklahoma City University.
