Hi Britt, LOVED your reaction! Cab was born in 1907 and died in 1994. His daughter Chris was born in 1945, and followed in his footsteps as a jazz singer and performer. I was born in 1959, and was Chris Calloway's personal piano tech for all her concerts and recordings for years. We were very good friends, and we talked for years about her father and his career and jazz and the Jim Crow era she lived through on tour with him. I remember her saying the Jonas Brothers gave her her first dancing lessons!! And I danced with HER once. :-) She was married to South African jazz trumpeter Hugh Masekela before I met her. She died in 2008. I miss her so much.

This clip is from the classic film "Stormy Weather" (1943) starring Lena Horne. The Nicholas Brothers began as child stars, performing at The Cotton Club (in New York) when they were in their early teens and beyond, eventually graduating to movies. Cab Calloway was another classic Cotton Club performer as was a young Dorothy Dandridge who married the younger Nicholas brother, Harold. The Nicholas Brothers and a teenage Dorothy have a video on RU-vid as well, a clip of their performance of "Chattanooga Choo Choo" from an earlier film, Sun valley Serenade' (1941). That one's well worth checking out as well.

@Jeff_Lichtman 7 месяцев назад

@cynthiaspencer2222 7 месяцев назад

Dad say this is a scene from the movie "Stormy Weather". View it if you can. Also, Fayard, the older brother was a self taught dancer, then Harold, the younger brother wanted to learn. Thus you see the Nicholas Brothers. Michael Flatley may be known as the Lord of the Dance but these gentlemen were Gods Of the Dance.

The Jersey Side is the west side of the Hudson River. Back in the heyday of jazz, musicians would finish up late-night sets in Manhattan, then head over to Newark, New Jersey to play some more, party, and then have breakfast as the sun came up, thus having their eggs “on the Jersey side” of the river.

Cabell Caloway III, known professionally as Cab Calloway, was an American jazz singer and bandleader. He was a regular performer at the Cotton Club in Harlem, where he became a popular vocalist of the swing era. Fayard Antonio Nicholas was born October 20, 1914, in Mobile, Alabama, and Harold Lloyd Nicholas was born March 17, 1921, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Harold Nicholas played the role of Ernest "Sarge" Johnson in the movie the Five Heartbeats. Harold was also the first husband of the actress Dorothy Dandridge. This is a form of Jazz called "Swing". The people in the video are members of The Silent Generation, those born 1928-1945 with the end of WW II. The women are not "Flappers", that was during the Roaring 20s. This movie was during the "Jazz Age", the in-crowd were called "Hep cats" for the men and "Kittens" for the women. In 1939, the jazz singer Cab Calloway published Cab Calloway's Hepster's Dictionary: Language of Jive. A hep cat was "a guy who knows all the answers, understands jive." The hep cats and hepsters Calloway described would in the following years become known as hipsters. Those who were hip eventually became Hippies by the mid 1960s.

The Nicholas Brothers are acrobatic tap dancers. Check out the movie Tap. 1989 Sammy Davis Jr And Gregory Hines as well as many tap dancers of the 1930s 40s. Tap was dying out during the 50s and 60s.

@Flics-ig4qv 5 месяцев назад

Cab invented COOL, everyone has been playing catch up ever since, he did not have to be COOl, he WAS COOL. The Nichalos Brothers routine was done in one take, no cuts! Gregory Hines said that the routine could never be replicated because the skill, talent and artistry is otherworldly. Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly both said that they were the best ever🥰

Everyone talks about Cab Calloway performing "Minnie the Moocher" in the Blues Brothers film, but it's decades older than that. If you put "max fleischer minnie the moocher" into the RU-vid search engine, the first video up is a 1932 Betty Boop cartoon that starts out with live footage of a 25-year-old Cab Calloway and his band performing the song, with Cab dancing. Max Fleischer was one of the founding fathers of animation, most known for Betty Boop and the early Popeye cartoons. One thing that made him different than Disney or Warner Brothers was his inventiveness and pushing boundaries, such as breaking the fourth wall and incorporating the reality of the artform into the visuals and storyline. Fleischer was the Salvador Dali of early animation. In one episode of Popeye, he's being chased by cannibals and runs out of any way to escape a terrible end, so Fleischer has the film 'break', spilling the cannibals out of the cartoon, with Popeye hanging on for dear life. Then, realistic human hands reach in, reconnect the torn film with a large safety pin, and the film is then started up again, just in time to end with Popeye singing his song. In Fleischer's "Minnie the Moocher", he used rotoscope to create the central singing walrus-like ghost. Rotoscope is the process of creating animated sequences by tracing over live-action footage frame by frame. In this instance, Fleischer traced over live footage of Cab Calloway dancing and singing the title song. Five years later, Disney copied the technique to get realistic motion in the human characters in "Snow White", but Max Fleischer did it first.

Calloway was the house band leader at the Cotton Club in Harlem from 1930 until 1940. After the authorities shut the club down, Calloway and his band went on tour. They were asked to recreate the Cotton Club experience for the movie "Stormy Weather" in 1943, which is why we have this masterpiece.

@Ganon5600 7 месяцев назад

You should look up his performance of “Minnie the Moocher“ from The Blues Brothers soundtrack. Sadly, in the movie, it cuts away from his performance, so you don’t hear the whole thing. But it’s in its entirety on the soundtrack.

A lot of people think of swing as music for old people in the nursing home. Their experience is with Lawrence Welk. But, this music was for young people of the time. Full of energy and geared for dancing, Lindy Hop, Jitterbug. You can still find swing but it is usually from smaller bands. Those big groups are expensive to operate.

Hi Britt, You're right. One of the brothers was in the 5 heartbeats as a dance instructor, teaching the guys dance move. And the same brother was in a few other movies back then too. Also, both of them including Cab was in one of Janet Jackson's music videos back in the 80's. My grandfather took my mom (her dad) to see the Nicholas Brothers live at the Apollo theater when she was a little kid. My mom had told me that to see them perform live was unbelievable. I know what you mean about how much work it takes to be good at your craft because I myself am a songwriter, vocalist and musician who plays 3 different musical instruments, and I started playing at 11 years old. You had a great reaction to the video. The way was moving around, I thought you were about to get up yourself and start dancing. lol nice job!

When music is good. No matter how old. It's to be appreciated. No love it's the forties.

Loads of well refined talent all over that stage. Usher and Jason Derulo don't tap, but I'd love to see them try synced up choreography like this. Also, getting up from splits without using your hands - ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

This video is from the movie "Stormy Weather", also starring the great Lena Horne (Stormy Weather is her signature song). The movie is from around 1943. Cab Galloway and his band became the resident hand of The Cotton Club in Harlem, NYC after Duke Ellington and his band left for bigger things. Cab put on a big show at the Cotton Club with a chorus line of dancers too. It was THE place to go. Check out: "Minnie The Moocher" with Cab. The 40's and 50's were the era of big bands and swing. music.

There will never be a better dance duo.

If you watch the colorize excerpt of this clip there is an extended ending where the audience gets up to dance and Cab Calloway comes back on stage.

The easy power of the Nicholas brothers is amazing. Their strength and skill is legendary.

This was not the flapper era. Youi're thinking of the Roaring '20s. This was during World War II. This scene is the final scene in the 1943 motion picture "Stormy Weather," which was the first big budget film from one of the major Hollywood studios to feature an all-black cast. Didn't you just review the colorized version of this same video a few days ago? Anyway, Cab Callaway was one of the "big band" leaders of this era (the biggest one being Glenn Miller -- check out "In the Mood" by the Glenn Miller Orchestra, probably the biggest hit to come out of the World War II era. Music of "The Greatest Generation," as it came to be known.

Cab Calloway was the essence of coolness.

Britt: This is not skatting. This is just Cab Callaway being Cab Callaway. Skatting is where humans make sounds that mimic the sound of musical instruments, specifically musical instruments playing JAZZ. You wanna hear real skatting? No female was better at it than the legendary Ella Fitzgerald, and no male was better at it than the great Mel Tormé (pronounced tor-MAY'). Here they area.
