Bates was a well-known dancer in his day.
He performed on The Ed Sullivan Show many times, and had two command performances before the King & Queen of England.
He retired from the dancing business in 1996.
Bates lost a leg at the age of 12 in a cotton gin accident.
He subsequently taught himself to tap dance with a wooden peg leg.
His uncle, Wit, made his crude first "peg leg" after returning home from World War I and finding his nephew handicapped.
Bates performed at an award ceremony at Hillcrest High School in his honor for receiving "The Order of the Palmetto" the highest civilian awarded by the state in his hometown of Fountain Inn.
He passed away on his way to church a day later.
