00:00Hey, what are you doing over there lurking? I thought you wanted to audition.

00:04Yeah, I do.

00:05Well then go ahead, audition.

00:07Now?

00:08Well not tomorrow, baby. Come on, move it.

00:12Go ahead.

00:12All right.

00:13Go ahead.

00:13All right.

00:15The coolest person I've worked with, Gene Anthony Ray, hands down.

00:22Man, the talent in his little finger is just off the chart.

00:26And I remember one of my first days rehearsing with him on the dance floor.

00:32Not really a dancer, so I don't always have my steps where they should be.

00:35And I went the wrong way and I ran into him and it was like hitting a brick wall.

00:41He is so muscular and hard.

00:43I was like, oh my gosh.

00:46But he's an amazing, sweet guy.

00:49He would take me out to the different clubs and kind of show me around Atlanta.

00:53I got a chance to hang out at his house.

00:55He's just really sweet.

00:57Everybody was actually trying to help make me feel more comfortable because California,

01:02everything was kind of new to me.

01:05It's just so sad.

01:06He went so soon.

01:07So much more to offer.

01:09Johnson, I need a favor.

01:12What?

01:13Well, I wouldn't even bother you except Ms. Grant said you were the only person who could help me with this.

01:18Dusty, what is it?

01:19I have to write a paper about the Apollo Theater.

01:21The Apollo.

01:24You know I practically grew up in that place?

01:26Yeah, that's something Ms. Grant was telling me.

01:28I mean, my Aunt Eleanor worked there for about 30 years.

01:30She knew all the stars.

01:32I mean, Brooke Benton used to even send her flowers on her birthday.

01:34Brooke Benton?

01:35You don't know who Brooke Benton is?

01:38Well, actually, up until this morning, I never even heard about the Apollo Theater.

01:42What?

01:44Girl, from where have you been?

01:45I've been in Colorado.

01:47Now, are you going to help me on that?

01:50All right, we're going to have to make a field trip.

01:51You meet me Friday after school.

01:54I'll help you out.

01:55Okay.

01:55All right.

02:14All right.

02:15All right.
