- "Wonderful! Young children in Nebraska are learning all about swing dancing and this memorial will be part of their learning experience!!" -
- "James Bond visited the Savoy Ballroom in Live and Let Die and it is extensively described particularly the dancing and a table at which Bond and Felix Leiter (a CIA agent) sit beside the dance floor looking at the dancers." -
- "During the years of 1936 to 1938, my two friends and I would go to the Savoy Ballroom. We were confirmed Lindy Hoppers, and if we got there before 8 p.m. we were allowed inside for 20 cents. We could dance until 4 a.m." - A letter to Smithsonian (Jan, 2003)
