I saw him at a swing dance here in DC a while back. I thought he looked even younger in person.

Frankie Manning.. A true gentleman. He always lines up the ladies before a class and kisses their hand one by one.

This is one of those moments i wish i was a girl.. *sigh* :rolleyes:
Thanks for sharing the clip.

I had the privilege of meeting this man at a swing dance last October here in DC. He does indeed look decades younger than 92, and is so polite and kind. I had my picture taken with him. It's great to be able to say you've met a person who has made his mark in history.

Actually, Frankie wil be 94 in May. About 17 years ago (when he was a mere lad of 77) I was MC-ing a dance at the NY Swing Dance Society. I saw him hop up on the stage like a kid, and said to his girlfriend "He's got the body of a 17 year old!". She said "Tell me . . . "
