Another R.I.P.--Cholly Atkins, Motown Choreographer Charles (Cholly) Atkins, the former vaudeville star credited with giving Motown groups their sharp and sassy moves, died late Saturday in a Las Vegas hospital. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in February. He was 89. Duke Fakir, of the Four Tops, was quoted as saying, "He gave us more than steps. . .Cholly gave us wisdom. He taught us how to touch an audience and about living life. He was Motown's father figure." [This message was edited Tue Apr 22 18:49:18 PDT 2003 by NuPwr319] | |
