Maya Angelou: 'Mom & Me & Mom' Interview

"I did work in a strip club, but I didn't strip -- I danced. And I became very popular. And the band -- the band was so used to playing for the strippers ... they just didn't even look anymore, they were so bored and blase. But then I came and I said, 'Do "Caravan," ' and I'd hit the floor and dance my skin off, almost. And I moved from a strip joint to a cabaret."
