In Chicago, dancers Jermaine Stewart (deceased singer) and Cookie were so popular; they relocated with the show to Hollywood. Over the years, some of the dancers would become popular like the celebrities who performed (lip-synched) on the show.

Damita Jo Freeman was the first dancer to gain notice when she performed with Joe Tex each time he appeared on the show, she would go on to appear in the TV series "Private Benjamin."

From there, Patricia Davis, Shabba-Doo (once married to actress Lela Rochan) and his sister Fawn became famous and forged out careers as backup dancers and choreographers.

Other dancers who became famous include:
William "Tyrone" Swann,
