Done in one take and even Fred Astaire said it was the best dance performance ever.

just about everything was done in one take in those days.

It's possibly the most extraordinary performance I've ever seen! The Nicholas Brothers are UNBELIEVABLE!!!

@Bucslife31 Год назад

Yes the Nicholas Brothers was the best African-American tapping Duo back in the day still to this day nobody can tap dance like them two. it was sad back in the day there was invited to play at The Cotton club club was pretty much packed with African American people and pretty much everybody was able to use the front entrance but sadly the Nicholas brothers and every African-American had to go and use the back door to get into the club because they didn't want to see a black man walking in to a club for black people it was sad but all the greats performed there. Still to this day you will never find two African American male tap dancers who did what the Nicholas brothers did with the home stairs sequence absolute masterpiece they were

@@im-gi2pg I was also struck by how relaxing to hear such reactions and comments from these villagers about the dance and song without a ‘racial’ component. I liked that most of all about this video. Of course the cab Calloway jive and the brothers wasn’t hard on the ear either. 😎

@ovrjoyd4u2 Год назад

@@im-gi2pg This is true, but there are so many 'hidden figures' in the American fabric. People, who in the height of the fame or era, were denied so much because of their color. That is why there is a innate need to highlight their often overlooked achievements. This is the history that people don't want taught or shared. So sad, but all to true.

I can't believe I missed this! Their reactions were lovely. This was something very inspiring for Black people in America because we never saw ourselves on TV unless it was a role cooking and cleaning for white people. The Nicolas Brothers broke barriers with their unique tap dancing techniques. Their talent will never be forgotten.

@cherylfisk7698 Год назад

Cab is singing "scat". A style in jazz music where the singer improvised sounds to imitate musical instruments. Very popular back then.

@Trip_Fontaine Год назад

The famous dancer Gregory Hines has been quoted as saying that if they made a movie about the Nicholas Brothers, they would have to use computer effects to show how they danced. Since no one alive today can dance like that.

@mildredpierce4506 Год назад

It sounds like they have never seen tap dancing before. It is a very old American style of dancing that you don’t see too much today. I am glad you are showing them this American classic.

@indiatastic Год назад

Yes it was very cool seeing them witness the entire concept of tapdancing for the 1st time.

@j.dragon651 Год назад

For foreigners that don't know, there is an old saying in the United States that goes as follows. "How do you get to Carnegie Hall". The answer is "Practice". Carnegie hall is a world famous music venue in New York City but some may not have heard of it. His statement about hard work pays off made me think of it.

@danielm5535 Год назад

Not only is it one of the best/most difficult Tap dances done, it’s done so smoothly and they make it look almost effortless- smiles the whole time. Landing in a Splits move is tough, but even tougher is how they slide their legs together to stand, no using their hands to push up to standing. It really is the greatest Tap Dance performance.

@paanne1013 Год назад

The two dancers were "Tap" Dancing and the singer, Cab Calloway, when he is singing fast and no real words are being used, it is called "Scat".

@ajt62 Год назад

This dance is famous for having been done so flawlessly in a single take. Truly awesome.

Fred Astair, was an American iconic actor, dancer and singer. His praise for the brothers was a HUGE accolade. Because, sadly black people (African Americans) were not as admired as white people in that time, i.e from early on in American history until more recent years. 1960's and on.

@jpsned Год назад

The drummer seen at 0:53 is J. C. Heard. I spoke to him a few times on the telephone back in the mid-1980s when I was an announcer at a jazz radio station in Trenton, NJ. He was a really nice guy and was excited that my station was playing his records. (He was leading his own big band out of Detroit at this point.) I first saw this dance clip when I was taking swing dance lessons in the mid-1990s. The Nicholas Brothers aren't only incredible dancers but outstanding athletes as well. They knew how to both control their muscles and take care of them, too. Nobody does stuff like that without getting injured unless they knew proper stretching, warm-ups, etc. This dance is a marker by which all other dances need to be measured.

Cab Calloway was one of the great old entertainers. He could dance, sing, and bring a great band together. He's entertained people long after his lifetime! Watching this today in 2023 in as exciting and fresh as it was when they first released it in 1939. It's sad to think that wonderful talents like Mr. Calloway endured horrible racism, and that there is part of the system wants to return to those unenlightened times. There was nothing "great" about being anything that wasn't heterosexual, male, Caucasian and Christian in those days. Countless people suffered horribly and the system allowed it. So, please, I don't want to hear a word about "making America great again." What a load of rubbish. Thank goodness there are some brave and balanced souls fighting to make the dream of true democracy a reality for all.
