Ralph Brown: Ray's Ideas

RALPH BROWN: Born in Indianapolis, Brown moved to New York City in 1931 after winning amateur talent contests in his hometown.

In 1934 he got a job dancing at the Cotton Club, where he met the band leader Cab Calloway, with whom he traveled for several decades. He also appeared with Charlie Parker, Cootie Williams and Duke Ellington. In recent years he toured with the cast of "The Original Hoofers."
