The Nicholas Brothers are the BEST Dancers that ever Lived, RIP my amazing Brothers.
Both brothers were self taught how to tap dance! Then they even created new moves on their own as well. I will forever LOVE the Nicolas Brothers!
The Nicholas Brothers
are the best dancers hands down , who moved liked that in the 1930s .
Those guys were so talented and elegant , the physical agility was amazing !
If you are a dancer or want to become a dancer by all means study the Nicholas brothers . And what you will see will blow your mind , trust me !
Color doesn’t dictate class. These two were a class act in every respect. Wish I could’ve met them; seen them perform; I would’ve been mesmerized! GenevKelly had nothing over them! And that’s the truth!
Unfortunately, racism is a big part of the dictatorship in this world
Wow, that dance number they did in the Stormy Weather production. The stamina and endurance was incredible. I can't see ANY dancer(s) coming anywhere near that level of power, control, creativity, and heart.
Just incredible!
My sentiments exactly Randall C.
ABSOLUTELY!!!
You said it!!!👍
They the GOAT
They are the greatest of all time but have you ever checked out The Berry Brothers? They were remarkable too but didn’t get the same amount of attention that Fayard & Harold got.
These brorthers are past iconic! They are an anomaly! The Nicolas Brothers are an important part of history. They are the truth!
Amen.
The Nicholas Brother's was and still are the best dancers that have ever graced the stage!!!!!
Those Nicholas Brothers were “ Phenomenal, I mean truly “phenomenal”, They will forever be the baddies dance duet of all time; to this day, there’s no one who can touch them; they are truly in a class by them self’s; fantastic, remarkable, sensational, etc.
I think they have been reincarnated and is now know as Les Twins
How could you have been that "phenomenal" and turn your back on your only child at that time or was he ashamed of her his own child!🤔🤔"😔" i pray he did take care💜of her especially after Ms Dorothy passed away🌹😔
@@afrikaqueen6855 What does that have to do with their dancing abilities?
This is where real dance came from ...so extremely amazingly talented....the people of today think they made up the dance moves there doing on there social media..Nope....dance walks way back .....the talented people back in the day never really got the recognition they deserved.. Bless you and yours ...thank you for your wonderful gift ........
💯..Hands down the most underated most exceptional dancers the world has ever known..
Stormy Weather one of the best black classic movie you could ever see
THIS IS SIMPLY LOVELY 😊
I WISH MORE PEOPLE WERE AWARE OF THESE MEN!!!
The lucidity of their movement is just incredible , their timing is like they are as one...These two brothers are sublime and arguably the greatest dancers ever..yet , unknown to so many.?
fred astaire and gene kelly couldn't fold the nicholas brothers socks!!!
Fred Altair could fold their socks. Gene Kelly, probably not. Studied dance with go's brother Fred. He was a Nicholas Bros Nut ! They were fluid and fun, the made everything look so simple.
They would've split before attempting the Nicolas Brothers acrobatic dance moves
The Nicholas Brothers could sing dance and act. They were great dancers. The tops . I have seen dancing . But they had amazing talent . You cannot take your eyes off their dancing. 👍👍
👀👀👀👀👀👀 so true! I would watch their every step. I was enamored by them. God Bless these 2 Legends.
"The NICHOLAS BROTHERS" Are Still thee MOST MULTI-TALENTED SUPERNATURALLY DYNAMIC DANCERS, EVER! They were the Pioneering BLUEPRINT; of EVERY Great Entertainer Past, PRESENT; Aaand, FUTURE! THANKS A MILLION FOR SHARING THIS TREASURED EVENT!🎩❤🎩❤👑❤
The Nicholas brothers were not twins but they were as close as brothers like twins could be. I am proud to be a twin. After seeing this I am going to call my twin brother and tell him how much i love him!
I HAVE A TWIN SISTER I TELL HER ALL THE TIME THAT I LOVE HER. SHE IS MY BEST FRIEND AND I LOVE MY TWIN VERY MUCH. ALWAYS LET YOUR TWIN KNOW THAT. BECAUSE NO ONE KNOWS HOW WE FEEL WHEN WE ARE GOING THROUGH SOME TOUGH TIME BUT GOD.
Just realized Harold was the dance teacher in the movie "Five Heartbeats"
These brothers are beyond talented..
You don't often see black dancers get the praise and accolades they deserve let alone by Mikhail freaking Baryshnikov!!!
The 1st Greatest Dancers in the World, Bravo
Humble salute to the Nicholas Brothers!
Thank you these are the greatest dancers- and now 100 years later the truth can be shown!!!!
These Two brothers were so cold the best tapers that shared a double talent as singers and Tapers
I got to play with Fayard back in the early 2000s, as part of a tap dance review. He had an act with his wife Katherine. I'd play a baseline and he'd respond to it. Simple cues but always different from set to set.... and always entertaining. He'd have the audience cracking up, while tapping their feet.
WOW were you LuckY!!!!!!!
So blessed to be with a legendary dancer!!
Imagine the sensation and awe of those who witnessed, firsthand in the Cotton Club, a once in a lifetime true perfection of the Art. Known by ALL then in show business, admitted or not, and by all NOW and Forever the unparalleled genius and never to be duplicated, The Nicholas Brothers. God Himself did indeed rest on the seventh day after His creation and gift to the stage.
Danny: shall we dance? Let's start off by you giving me a non-binary guess, ok Suga Suga!!!!!!!
Beautifully said !! Truly sensation and awe.
They were amazing acrobats and yet they were smooth gentleman!
And what a beautiful relationship they had.💖
Tears, of JOY the memories of how WE use to be as A PEOPLE! And Sadness of what we've become.
Stop believing that people were better back then and that we've gotten worse.
We will get past this and be even better!!!😊❤🌹
It's the truth that generation which they call the great generation is just that We loved each other and knew we needed each other.Separtism bought out the best in us.Integration is not all it's cracked up to be.Seems like since we integrated, we separated.The price of integration,was it worth it?
@@RRAY1991 The bible itself states people will get worse. Shes not wrong.
All this means to me is two brothers who had talent !!! And used it !! Love both!!!!!
Just love to watch the amazing Nicolas Brothers perform their astounding
outstanding dance routines !
UNSURPASSED!
I love the Nicholas Brothers they had me in awe with every step
How adorable they were as children. And what talents. Extremely fun to watch. I very much hope that they were able to live comfortable lives. God Bless the Nicholas Brothers Forever!!!!!!!
Timeless and brilliant. And "Stormy Weather" is so damn good. Nobody can touch them when it comes to tap, nobody.
I believe the Nicholas Brothers were and still are the very best!
When I was a kid I just loved the old movies.When I saw the Nicholas Brothers I was mesmerized!!!Watching them dance is just amazing!
Check out The Berry Brothers too. They were also very good.
@@MsAppassionata I will. Never heard of them.😊
@@helenpruzan6970 Check out their “Panama Hattie” video, in particular. There is a jaw dropping jump in that video as well.
@@MsAppassionata Just watched it.Jaw still on the ground!!!Amazing 🥰
Nicholas 💕 Brothers was the best tap dancers in the World 🌎 Rest 💐 in Heavenly Peace Brothers.🎭
They had mad crazy dance skills.It was 😫 sick!!
Just the best ever, this is the best I have watched in 2019, so sad for the times, they helped enormously to pave the way for true natural talent, used by Hollywood, blood is thicker than water, we are blessed, thank you so much for sharing, they will never be forgotten, I will be passing this story on and mention THE NICHOLAS BROTHERS,,,,, every chance I get. Thank you for posting.
Sarge from the movie 🎥 the 5 heart beats. Wow 👏 never knew he was a famous dancer with his brother. Amazing! ❤🙏
They were fantastic dancers and acrobats too, never to be forgotten.
first time to watch the Nicholas Brothers, a very very very special moment today, incredibly talented
WTF? Those brothers had mad fucking skillz. No one can touch that. Absolutely the best!!
I wish I would have been alive back then to go to the Cotton club. Thankfully they captured some of the performers on film and recorded the radio shows.
These Brothers are number one even until this day in 2021 no other dancer can top The Nicolas Brothers
Another great documentary about the Nicholas Brothers! I’m amazed every time I see rare clips of them performing. There will be no one like them.
I am so blessed to have lived when Sammy Davis, Jr was at his peak, Cab Calloway was also alive, Jackie Wilson was a protege of these people ditto James Brown now, comes Bruno Mars & Jon Batiste
Simply Phenomenal ! No one before or since has topped this amazing duo at what they do. Don't miss the other ,Nicholas Brothers videos here on you tube , each is guaranteed to hold you spell bound. This is some kind of special, amazing talent. Wow!
I was always fascinated with them as a child and I still am. There will never be another pair of dancers like them! Watching them never gets old. Brilliant
3:09 As soon as I got to this part, "The Five Heartbeats!", escaped my lips! Did not know he'd been in the business since a child. This channel should be recommended and included in all African American Studies. So much Black History right here!
We are number one # 1... we are indigenous...
We are Originals...!!!!!!!...
The Nicholas Brothers literally set the standard for all of the legendary dancers to follow from Fred Astaire to MC Hammer!
Astair gave props he said these were better dsncers
IT'S Hurt's me how harold did Dorothy Dandridge ! 🤔 😔"and there daughter she shouldn't of never been a ward of the state!!that was very sad😢 😔"

I'm dancing from my Lap top to my I Pod to my I-Pad-to my Samsung Galaxy & my HP
All in one Printer!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was first introduced to the Nicholas brothers in middle school. It amazed me even back then that they weren't absolute legends. Not many people know who they are, which is a travesty! These men are the greatest tap dancers period!
The Nicholas brothers were 2 of the greatest dancers in the world and watching them is still a joy! I wont downgrade other great dancers no matter their color ,but they are right up there: Super Stars.
The greatest talent I've ever witnessed, EVER!!!
Love them. Thankyou Lord.
Thee GREATEST Dancers of ALL TIMES.
I'M 49 YEARS OLD AND I SAY WOW! ONE OF A KIND!,😚
Nicholas Brothers were beyond incredible!
TRULY AMAZING!!!💃🏃🙌💫🌠🤩💯
Oh My Goodness!! How wonderful is this?? I had no idea that was one of the Nicholas brothers in the movie The Five Heartbeats!! History is EVERYTHING!!! I love this and thanks for posting.
He also played in Uptown Saturday Night as Little Seymour
More people need to see this
The best dancers ever ! Amazing talent !
I do agree, more people need to see this !
Wow I didn't know that they existed. Thank you for preserving their legacy and showing it to me and my generation.
The greatest...
Thevnickolas Bros. Will make you realize that we have such a spectacular heritage. As black people we are such amazing talents. We will take something and put our unique stamp on it.Perfect it like no other people. Thank you Nickolas Bros. Your did well!
It’s been wonderful reliving the days of watching The Nicholas Brothers Shows. Now I see where some present day dancers got their inspection and training.
Introspection....
Oh wow, I have been a big fan for years and had not seen this video before! Friends and I have often commented that the Nicholas Brothers were superior to Gene Kelly in "The Pirate," their dancing being much more energetic and crisp. No one will ever top them! Thank you for posting this!
Fascinating. Thanks for the upload. I am so glad they got the Kennedy Center honor. They truly deserve it. I never knew their story. Mind blown
Karen: shall we dance! Let's do the Nicholas Brother's Dance. You be the short one & I'll be the tall one, ok honey pie!
Love them 😀❤️they were and will always be the best ❤️❤️❤️
Nobody can be the next Nicholas Brothers. Not even with wires, harnesses, nets, computer graphics, and any other special effects that haven't been invented yet. As you can see from their interview, the Nicholas Brothers were also very kind and generous men in their appraisal of other people. That's class. Today people are out to stab each other in the back.
great to see clips of them when they were young.
Les plus grands danseurs de tous les temps !
Un immense talent inégalé et inégalable !
La classe absolue !
Amazing !
The very best !
Just love this famous duet !
These two brothers were incredible dancers, what they did was amazing.
Amazing I remember him from the 5 heartbeats movie
The best period! Stormy weather is insane!
I just enjoy watching these movies way before my time!! It is wonderful to see and know that our people were as talented and creative as anyone else. And even more so creative.
All I can say is, GREAT, GREAT, GREAT! WOW!
wow! AMAZING! Love learning about men like these two. But also makes me sad and ashamed of our history here in USA.
They were amazing!
The best! The Eddie Cantor Society was honored to have Fayhard attend one of their functions. He spoke glowingly of being in movies with Eddie!
They are the best I've ever seen in the world of dancing truly born with all that talent beautiful
Doubt they were born with it. I bet they worked on their dancing lots
The Nicholas Bros are so badass. Very few performers whose routines I can watch over and over and over again, except the Nicholas Bros. Cab Calloway makes an appearance and he's also a badass! Hep! Hep!! I love that Harold punked Gene Kelly. 😀😀
They were the best I’ve seen. The first routine was UNBELIEVABLE!!! Of Course, they didn’t get the credit they deserved. They primarily gave all that to Fred Astaire and the like!!
I could watch them for hours! Talented at an early age. Lucky Numbers is my favorite.
I am in awe and wonder at the beauty and style of both Feyard and Harold. They were a marvel and incredible role models for young tap dancers. Study the style, the athleticism and skill. They were a thing of beauty to cherish for an eternity.
I could watch them all day. What a shame that they didn’t have even more opportunities!
How did Fred Astaire become known as the greatest dancer when these guys were on the planet at the same time?
So much was spent on keeping black entertainers in the shadows and uplifting white ones.
how is that even a question?
Fred Astaire couldn't hold a candle to these guys
Fred Astaire never claimed to be the best, he actually said he saw and learned steps from the Nicholas Brother..Never seen before
Exactly!
The splits move and slide up with no hands has to be the best move ever
The greatest to ever put on a pair of dance shoes. No one will ever come close to their level
They were beautiful too! Nice smiles, good attitude, good looking and the best dance team ever!
All I can say is thank you. Have always admired their ability to make everyone feel happier and uplifted through their artistic moves.
Them boys was BADDD! as in too damn good
MEN !
Even as kids they were better then Fred Astaire.
Fred was..... AMAZING! So that's saying a lot! And it's true.
Anyone's that can walk the walls... and split whewww!!! Is super, extraordinary, amazing, and my best friends, my love goes out too,you guys.. ❤
My fam would tell me that they are my cousins so when l watch stuff like this, l feel proud and wonderful.
in my opinion the best ever
I've seen numerous dancers over the decades and no one..... comes close to the Nicholas brothers!!! People have tried but none have come close in my opinion! You can try to copy their moves and do some of the same types of acrobatic movements .....that the Nicholas brothers did. But the flair .....the way the Nicholas Brothers presented themselves.... they were the whole package and that only happens once! They have that spark ....they're the ones that have that magic! They just cannot be duplicated!
That was fantastic
I L💜VE THESE MEN they remind me of My Great Uncle who's 3 years older than my mom and the last born in my Grandma's Family My Grandma my mom's mom is the 1st born and her brother who is the last born His Name is Nicholas 💜💜💜. And these two remind me of him because they are so special💜💜💜
What a great memory. So pleased to see this video clip. They were so good. Only the Clark Brothers ever came close to these guys.
They are awesome at any of their ages!!! Wow what a dynamic duo!!!
And absolutely they are in many ways so much more than the other dancing entertainers by using their outstanding creative dancing skills and their ‘unspoken continual movement they processed with each other!! Bravo guys!!!
Hammer didn't do his homework. The brothers could sing.Keep it real, Nothin is original, everything repeats it self, It only gets better with each generation of entertainers,Being on of the icons of street dancin here in Philly, Proud to say young bloods, Like The Twins, have taken it to the text level.💪👑💪👑💪👑
Truly inspiring!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
The greatest dancer's ever
Their dancing style was AWESOME
If the Nicholas Brothers were contemporary this doc would have millions of views and they'd be rich. They made dancing look so easy that anyone who watched said I can do that, then they tried.
I just made a similar comment
Amazing! This was a delight to view. Pure class.
