JSngry Posted June 5, 2005 Report Posted June 5, 2005 whatever happened to me? You were in the men's room next to Willie Bryant, the lights went out, you reached for what you thought was your cigar, and you got the shit beat out of you. Quote

JSngry Posted June 5, 2005 Report Posted June 5, 2005 I've seen the photo numerous times, and have known who it is, but have also long forgotten. Not gonna stop me from snappin' on that stogie, though... Quote
Bright Moments Posted June 5, 2005 Author Report Posted June 5, 2005 (edited) are you sure?.......... ← um....................................no but if your guy was 12 in 1946 (as per his bio) he's lookin' prety old in the photo, and is too young to smoke!!!

Michael Fitzgerald Posted June 5, 2005 Report Posted June 5, 2005 Maybe Ham Camp's portrayal of Mr. P was not as memorable as Tom Bosley as "the Little Flower" but still..... Mike Quote

brownie Posted June 5, 2005 Report Posted June 5, 2005 I am Pincus, the unofficial 'mayor of 52nd Street'. William Gottlieb took my photo outside the Three Deuces club in 1948. I don't know what happened to me after that moment in history The photo should look familiar to Mosaic veterans. The photo was on the cover of the Mosaic brochure nr. 7 which announced the release of the long-awaited Dean Benedetti Recordings of Charlie Parker box. Quote
Bright Moments Posted June 5, 2005 Author Report Posted June 5, 2005 ah! correct brownie! and mike was right as ham camp portrayed him in the movie "bird." i thought jim might know because willie bryant was also known (after bill robinson) as the "mayor of harlem"! so what do we know about mayor pincus?

brownie Posted June 5, 2005 Report Posted June 5, 2005 ah! correct brownie! Can I have my cigar now? Quote
Christiern Posted June 5, 2005 Report Posted June 5, 2005 According to Moms Mabley (and others), that's not all Willie Bryant was known for. Cigar? Try baseball bat! At least that's how Moms described it. Quote
