James Cagney Goofs Around With Dixon and Boyle
zhlédnutí 3,3KPřed 6 lety
For his 1937 film "Something to Sing About," Cagney hired two of his old vaudeville buddies: Harland Dixon, who had been famous on Broadway but never became a movie star, and Jimmy Boyle, who would later coach Cagney for "Yankee Doodle Dandy"
George White, 1935
zhlédnutí 653Před 6 lety
From 1918 through the 1930s, George White's "Scandals" were some of the top revues on Broadway. But before he became a producer, White (born Isadore Weitz) was a tap dancer, and in the film "George White's 1935 Scandals," he broke out a soft shoe.

Four Step Brothers Shine Shoes in Style
It seems Black ppl originate , then White people scrutinize mostly but some take, then Black ppl move on to new creations...and white people hold on and make whole institutions out of it? Bucking dancing, Blues, Jazz...and on and on?
happiest rendition of the classic song i've watched Thank you
Can anyone else hear a rhythm which Michael Flatley from Riverdance used in this video? The time when he was duelling with the drums…
The BEST Tap Dancer of all times 🎉
This comes from the ulster scots in the south. Just type in buck dancing on youtube. Its a bunch of white people from Apalachia

A gifted black man. Sad he had to take on degrading and disrespectful roles in Hollywood to make money.
His feet should be nominated for the best vocalist if you get my drift! He was AMAZING
Sammy Davis jr, was legendary.
He was the greatest!!!
I'd love to see her old films colorized. She was a rare talent.
So proud to see my Dad in action Love this!!!!
shrek
The original B-Boys
Why does Steve seem to push Buddy @1:59? I realize it's part of the plan, but why?
It's fun. All part of the act. Reminding him to stay in his lane
Genius. The only one I consider the REAL Scarecrow.
Does anyone tap like that anymore ?
Outstanding.
Excellence!!
What a unique clever dance number.......they made it work by their well done talented tap dancing. Just an amazing routine!!! Great video!
Marvelous, without any digital effects or such, just built up in real, big size!
Phenomenal!
We honored 2 members of the Four Step Brothers at Tap Extravaganza NYC: Prince Spencer and Maceo Anderson
History is still repeating itself✨...from generation to generation.🌟.. just different styles according to the era❤🤎🖤💚💛
It's a shame these guys never starred in their own movies. What we were all deprived of because of narrow-mindedness.
Beautiful
Dan Dailey and the Berry Brothers- Fantasticos
Marvellous!
They should have done this at the White House Christmas 2023.
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17 - great gifts were Sammy & his family!!!❤️❤️❤️pure talent!
Now all the great musicals have their own stairs show.
I doubt I could even climb those stairs. Simply amazing.
1:48 Is this where modern tv shows got the idea to show me the audience (or the judges) instead of the amazing performance I’m trying to see?
Jo Jones brought me here. Infinite respect.
Trades to Billy’s Bounce then a tasty routine… loved the entire performance!!!! Bravooooo!!!!

As usual anything to do with innovative rhythm and dance has ALWAYS BEEN DONE BY GUESS WHO!
❤❤❤
I was waiting for Will Smith to crash the stage . . . and get kicked in the head.
Before gaming, t.v. and social media, people spent hundreds and thousands of hours perfecting skills. Now people just entertain themselves in their freetime.
Very charming and lovely clip.
Starts on the a before 5
この曲とっても好きだけど、殆ど歌詞が分からない🤦🏼♀️
So impressed that she was able to dance his style...her style was usually rather stomping and heavy. I wonder how long it took her to learn this.
He was an amazing dancer but in this clip you can see (besides his stammering) why he didn't make it in the movies. HIs technique is amazing and his style incredible but here...the charisma needed for films isn't there.
THESE GUYZ WERE AND STILL ARE CLASS ACTS.. IN HEAVEN AT THE GREAT NIGHTCLUB IN THE SKY.... RIP SAMMY ... WE STILL LOVE YOU ..
Sublime. Just found it. Thank you.
Lucy Daly 🤦🏾♂️
At his age I can barely walk up the stairs let alone dance up them But I wish I could.
