"For the 1936 song, see Bojangles of Harlem.%22Mr. Bojangles%22 is a song originally written and recorded by American country music artist Jerry Jeff Walker for his 1968 album of the same title. Since then, it has been recorded by many other artists, including US country music band the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, whose version (recorded for the 1970 album Uncle Charlie & His Dog Teddy) was issued as a single and rose to number nine on the Billboard Hot 100 pop chart in 1971. Live versions of the song appeared on Walker's 1977 album, A Man Must Carry On and his 1980 album The Best of Jerry Jeff Walker.The NGDB's single version begins with the Uncle Charlie interview (subtitled %22Prologue: Uncle Charlie and his Dog Teddy%22) that also precedes the song on the Uncle Charlie album. This was originally backed with another interview with Uncle Charlie, also taken from the album. When %22Mr. Bojangles%22 started climbing the charts, the B-side was re-pressed with the same song without the interview prologue." . "0000-00-00"^^ . .
