Jose Corpas’ book, “Black Ink.”

[Michael Traubert]

The book is the long overdue story of The Great Panama AL Brown I found him in story telling of him as " He worked in the Caprice Venua cabaret with an act that mixed dancing and jumping rope." Digging a little deeper I found him again a few years later after leaving $280,000.00 in Pairs, France as the Nazi, Germans army invasion of Europe was unfolding. returning to Harlem as Buster miller reports working The Salem Crescent Amateur Boxing show in the corner of Golden Glove Champion Ray Robinson.
Just thinking out loud could he be the source of the foundation Robinson skilled legendary jump robe training performances... young folks looking for a new source of training material might read history of Browns time in Paris …his exposure to the dance era of the cabaret … Black Ink it's worth reading
