Wonder where Bob Fosse got it? A combination of previous performers or something completely original, which is rare.
Fred Astaire, probably.
I'd put some money on Jim Crow. Look up some of the symbolism Childish Gambino used in This is America.
Bob Fosse was amazing, I am sure it was original with him.
