The Band Wagon 1953 Fred Astaire - Recreation Center 

The Black man is Leroy Daniels. You also see him on Sanford and son programs has Big boy Leroy.

Incredible RARE early stereophonic soundtrack captation! MERCI BEAUCOUP! Emmanuel from Paris France in september 2019 with Fred Astaire, Nothing better !

How can you not love this. Fred may be older here but this one of his absolute best numbers. Having Vincente Minnelli for your director doesn't hurt :)

M'encantan estas peliculas de Fred Astair, era genial bailando! Gracias por subirlo!

My favorite scene

Thats right, Back in the 50s everyone could dance! Even the shoe shiners! But seriously I love this song

Classic routine from arguably the best musical ever done. Probably a tie with "Singin' in the Rain". Thanks for posting!

that shoe shiner was like, f it, I'm bout to get paid

AMAZING INCREDIBLE RARE EARLY STEREOPHONIC SOUNTRACK IN HOLLYWOOD MOVIES!THANKS FOR THIS INCREDIBLE CRASHY INCREDIBLE CRAZY HISTORICAL RENDERING RENDITION INCREDIBLE IN STEREOPHONIC SOUNTRACK AND TECHNICOLOR RENDERING COPY. MERCI BEAUCOUP FROM FRANCE PARIS, Emmanuel

i could never decide who i like the best, gene kelly or fred astaire, and don't forget, donald o connor, who never got the credit he deserved, just take a look at moses supposes or unbelievably great, make them laugh number in the same movie, singing in the rain. donald runs up a wall, unreal talent. fred astaire dancing on the ceiling in royal wedding. girl hunt ballet . ouch, so beautiful. but how about gene kelly dancing with roller skates? or as chocolate american in paris. holy macaroni!

le plus beau passage du film

I've not listened, but it appears this clip was trashed. Too bad. The talented African-American fellow is Ernest Mayhand, probably best remembered as one of Fred's "pool room character" friends, "Skillet" on "Sanford and Son". Ernest often often appeared on the show with his longtime comedy partner, Leroy Daniels.

You can find other uploads of this dance number on RU-vid without the speeding-up glitch, such as here... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d0RjlO8j6cQ.html

@theone225 Ok! no racism, people always see ghosts where none exist, Greetings thanks for the comment. Martin / My other channel "Raiwons"

Ok i will, tks!

the shine is ten bucks, dancing is an extra fifty. Pay up.

@KerisCreations Did Fred pay for the shoeshine? Yes, he did, at the end of the dance. Did you not watch the scene? I don't like that the film speeds through the dance, though.

breathtaking ... extraterrestrial universal

The ultimate men´s fashion. Modern, civilized, tailored and no baggy, cheap and vulgar "ghetto style".

I'm I the only one that thinks that the black guy is a time travel because that fashion looks like it's in the wrong year

Why is the last bit in fast forward?? It's very annoying, please fix it!

What's with the sped up film and sound? Useless now. @ 03:45 and earlier.

why did it speed up half-way through?

I don't understand what you mean. The film and sound speed up rfor some reason.

Michael Jackson influencer

Did he even pay?

u r 2 serious-lol

Stereophonic sound !

That is terrible. The destruction of a masterwork.

marvelous scene, but subversive as well

Ok i will, tks!
