There was a club “on the east side on 50th.” called The Round Table. I heard Morocco was dancing there and wanted to see her. The club was very up scale, valet parking etc. Alright, I saved some money and went. What ever———I walked out of there and felt like going home and shooting myself. I had a great ear and sense of rhythm, no formal dance back round, but I did pride myself on being a great gymnast. Jemela was introduced not
Morocco, I cannot remember anything after that, she blew my mind and confidence. Again!
Think about doing a back bend undulating all the way down, then kneeling on one leg, the other extended, in a back bend and pivoting at the same time. GEEZZ! Do you have any idea what power that takes? I honestly do not remember if Morocco was there that night or not.
Jemela was classy, powerful powerful powerful. A lot of Ballet training and put my gymnastic abilities under the carpet. What a woman, what a entertainer, such class. She danced in Beirut, Lebanon and on Broadway in N.Y. She also traveled with the Broadway show Zorba the Greek. She is a legion personified.
We are still friends and she is still absolutely powerfully beautiful.
