I’ve been lucky enough to know, dance, and take class with Frankie Manning for more than 10 years. He passed away peacefully this morning after a brief illness, just short of his 95th birthday.
Here are other posts I’ve written about Frankie over the years.
At the request of Frankie long-time girlfriend, Judy Pritchett, dancers are meeting tonight at Swing 46 to dance to Harlem Renaissance Orchestra – one of Frankie’s favorite bands.
Gotta go get my dancing shoes.
Love you Frankie!
