text:
Kenrick Reginald Hijmans Johnson, known as Ken "Snakehips" Johnson, was a swing band-leader and dancer. He was a leading figure in black British music of the 1930s and early 1940s before his death while performing at the Café de Paris, London, when it was hit by a German bomb in the Blitz during the Second World War. Johnson was born in Georgetown, British Guiana. He showed some musical ability, but his early interest in a career in dancing displeased his father, who wished him to study medicine
