From The Back Cover:
To thousands of "night-clubbers" across the nation Melvin "Slappy" White needs no introduction, but for the sake of those unfortunate few who have never had the pleasure of laughing themselves hoarse from his special brand of comedy we offer these highlights on "Slappy's" career.
Melvin Edward White, known as "Slappy" from Coast to Coast, was born in Baltimore, Maryland, September 27, 1921. He began his career as a dancer and did not take to comedy until 1940 when he joined with a fellow hoofer and labeled his act the "Two Zephyrs". The "Two Zephyrs" made the circuits together for over four years appearing with such notables as Lionel Hampton, Count Basie, Duke Ellington and many others. With this team "Slappy" was first introduced to Californians, making his West Coast debut in Los Angeles at the Orpheum Theatre along with Louie Armstrong.
After "The Zephyrs" came "Lewis and White" his second successful comedy team. "Lewis and White" traveled together for several years and appeared with such greats as Johnny Otis, The Ink Spots, Count Basie, Duke Ellington and Lionel Hampton.
The team with which most of his fans are familiar is "Redd Foxx and 'Slappy' White", "Foxx and White" toured from Coast to Coast with the Billy Eckstine Orchestra for over four years.
"Slappy's" career as a single started in 1951 when Dinah Washington requested him to introduce her act at the "Black Hawk" in San Francisco. "Slappy" was such a hit with the patrons, Dinah asked him to "get the folks in the mood" and he lengthened the introduction to 15 minutes, putting in some of his best jokes here and there. Dinah, noticing the reaction of the listeners, recognized the abilities of "Slappy" as a single and assisted him in starting an act.
Space isn't available to list all the places this Captain of the Comedians has appeared. Some of the more familiar ones are: Zardi's in Hollywood; the Sans Souci, Miami Beach; the world- famed Apollo Theatre, New York City; the Howard Theatre, Washington, D. C.; the Patio Club, Las Vegas; the Club Oasis and Pigalle in Los Angeles, and The Barrelhouse in Watts.
We must warn you at this point that people with weak hearts, weak stomach muscles, and above all weak kidneys should approach this album with caution.
And now, enough of this jive. Let's sit back, relax, and enjoy what "Slappy" has prepared "Just For Laughs".
