Willie and the Hand Jive by Johnny Otis
“Theme: Learn to Dance! The Hand Jive is not a dance created by 'Grease.' They wanted an authentic 50's dance for the musical but didn't want to shell out the cash for the actual song, so they essentially lifted "Hand Jive" directly from this. Listen to the music, it's almost identical.”

1958. Grossly neglected R&B figure.
