The Cotton Club Remembered (1985) 

We are an amazing people.

I wish I was alive back then, my grandfather, a ww2 vet still brags about how great the 40’s were

Real music, real life lessons to be learned.

This is history here. What a gem. Thank you for posting this video.

THE GREATS... Thank you! Nicholas Brothers, Cab Calloway, Duke Ellington, Chuck Green, and ALL THE GREATS of the 20s 30s. ..PURE GENIUSES

Harlem Renaissance: Created and spread MODERN music to the world at a HIGH level. Loved by the world for good reason and still listened to and admired today everywhere.

I close my eyes and the music just takes me away and Im right there dancing along ❤

THE NICHOLAS✨✨✨ BROTHERS ARE FIRE!!! STRAIGHT FIRE!!! Didn't WANT THEIR SMOKE🌋! 😜😜😜

This film is a treasure to remember.

As you can see millions of people in the world thought Michael Jackson came up with these moves but mj idol is “Cab Calloway” and mj just made cab Calloway moves back famous again many people doesn’t know who Cab Calloway is even people who was born in the 60s 70s 80s 90s doesn’t know but I’m pretty sure some still remembers who these guys are I was born in that era but I thank god that I’m still here to share my generation memories if I could ever find that old old old video that of my daughter Nicole dancing with Cab Calloway and also with The Nicholas Brothers she was about 6 when she danced with the Nicholas Brothers and 8 when she dance with Cab but she also dance with other people and I will never forget that!

Jus like roller skating to music....smooth tap dancers💕

This channel always makes me proud to be a working black father willing and looking for the history of us as a race...#BlackandProud

I love the fact Theresa Webb identifies the brothers and sisters performers as AFRIKANS. Original People are truly great. Love y,all.

Just found your channel! Been urgently searching. Now found.

I remember seeing this in the 1980s and taping on vhs. Miss that tape but don't need it now!😊. There was also one called "A Duke Named Ellington"

I had this on video back in 88. Miss that tape boy, thanks for posting this !!!

This was an era before we became a lazy entertainment culture. People today don't want to practice and train their bodies, instrumental skills, and voices to be great.

Love the the ancestors

MAKE THE CAB CALLOWAY MOVIE!!!

Max Roach, Big.

The Nicholas brothers were absolute icons, with their dance routines and acrobats, I can understand why nobody wanted to follow them, they were superb talent who gave you the feeling of being proud to be black. when one watched many of the blacks who were stereotyped in certain roles of being the clown, servant, or slave, which Hollywood enjoyed perpatuating.

Brotherhood in Rhythm is a fabulous biography all about the Nicholas Brothers. Do not miss this book if you are a fan of tap, the times, the Brothers!

He aged well! 11/29/18

Wich one was Dorothy Dandridge husband

Nothing wrong with smoking reefer. You can see this show being made in 1985 society was indoctrinated by the 'just say no' campaign. Lots of jazz artists then and today smoke weed and its fantastic. As the dominos fall and states and countries legalize, it'll be a great vindication of the wonderful people that created modern music for the world.
