You Tube Treasure: One-Legged Tap Dancer!

I can't even dance with two legs--though I can kick some mean ass, no problem--but take a look at Peg Leg Bates, the tapping sensation who uni-leg-ally danced up a whirlwind that put the amp back in amputee.

The guy--seen here performing the "Harlem Hornpipe" and other routines in a wacky compilation clip--did even more with adversity than the Diving Bell and the Butterfly dude who blinked out his memoirs. What a talent. Turns out he did have a leg to stand on!
