☆ Overlooked No More: Henry Heard, Tap Dancer and Advocate for People with Disabilities
  + stars: | 2024-02-02 | by ( Meisha Rosenberg | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
This article is part of Overlooked, a series of obituaries about remarkable people whose deaths, beginning in 1851, went unreported in The Times. It is October 1958 and the tap dancer Henry Heard has taken the stage at the Copa Club in Columbus, Ohio, as part of a tour by the Idlewild Revue, which hails from a resort town for African Americans in northwest Michigan. A slender, elegant man with one arm and one leg, he begins his performance by dancing with a crutch. Less than a minute in, he throws the crutch offstage and continues to dance, to thunderous applause.

André 3000, the unpredictable rapper, producer and songwriter best known as one-half of Outkast, is finally releasing a solo album. Instead, “New Blue Sun,” due out Friday, “is an entirely instrumental album centered around woodwinds,” according to an announcement on Tuesday. “I’ve been interested in winds for a long time, so it was just a natural progression for me to go into flutes,” André, 48, said in the announcement. “I just like messing with instruments and I gravitated mostly toward wind.”The artist, born André Benjamin, last released an album with Outkast in 2006: “Idlewild,” the soundtrack to the duo’s movie musical. “Speakerboxxx/The Love Below,” the group’s Grammy-winning double album, arrived three years earlier.
