The JOE SHOW: Josephine Baker & Joe Alex Josephine Baker was an American-born French dancer, singer, and actress who came to be known in various circles as the “Black Pearl,” “Bronze Venus” and even the “Creole Goddess”. One of the rare male Black actors (along with Habib Benglia) performing in French films during the colonial period, Martinican Joe Alex (sometimes credited as José Alex) was first a singer and dancer. Alex notably appeared in various revues, the most famous being “La Revue nègre” in late 1925, in which he performed the very erotic “Danse sauvage” (Wild Dance) with Josephine Baker as his partner. -- source link
