The guy in the yellow was portraying the Legend Cab Calloway and at the end of the video the actual Cab Calloway made an appearance when he gave her the watch back..
Correct, there were also cameos by legendary dancers Cyd Charisse (older woman dancing with Janet) and the Nicholas Brothers (older tuxedo-ed gentlemen).
@@sampa2nyc I know who's in the video. I was responding to Jack when he ask who was the guy in the yellow suit
@@roscoejackson8420 Didn't imply that you didn't. The reply was for others who like Jack may be too young to know who these legendary entertainers are.
@@sampa2nyc I see where you coming from.. I'd thought that it was meant directly to me lol.. but my bad.. Keep schooling these youngins đ€Ł đ€Ł đ€Ł
Jack is too you to know all those legends including the Nicholas Brothers.
Cabell "Cab" Calloway III (December 25, 1907 - November 18, 1994) was an American jazz singer, dancer, bandleader and actor. He was associated with the Cotton Club in Harlem, New York City, where he was a regular performer and became a popular vocalist of the swing era. He is the gentleman in the Yellow Suit.
I tear up watching old videos of the Nicholas Brothers, Cab Callaway, Muddy Waters, Etta James & Billy Holiday ...
I respect our ancestors so much for what the did. They were so talented.
Love the Nicholas brother sooo talented
There are a lot of legends in this video. Cab Calloway, Cyd Charisse, The Nicholas Brothers.
Cyd Charisse was the the lady who came out of the store with the dancing mannequins. She was a dancer and actress in the 1940s. She is best known for dancing with Gene Kelly in the movie âSingin' in the Rainâ.
Correct, and also for dancing with Kelly in "Brigadoon" and Fred Astaire in "Silk Stockings".
Also with Fred Astaire in "Bandwagon", where there's a specific scene where they dance that inspired the video for Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal". The lady could dance. I love watching her...
MistressAcid Thanks for mentioning that, since he didnât realize who she was. Thank you!
Singing in the rain debbie reynolds. Not cyd charrisse.
@@judyt.5702 Cyd Charisse is also in Singing in the Rain...
This video was a *huge tribute* to Black History in general, of music like Jazz, tap dancing, Swing Dance and legends like Cab Calloway & Nicholas Brothers.
It's kinda similar in how the movie "Cadillac records" payed tribute to the origins of Rock & Roll with Chuck Berry, & Muddy Waters.
I love the Nicholas Brothers ... Those were special times, and those names as well as others like them, paved the way & pioneered many different styles of music created in America, while still being oppressed.
It's more than just R&B & Hip Hop. Got some research to do
I love how Janet (and Michael) were perfectionists, itâs defo reflected in their work! Passion, dedication and obviously talent. Sadly you wonât find many music videos on this level nowadays đ loved the reaction as always!
So true...hell, you didn't find many in those days!
Janet "Come Back To Me"
This is one of her best songs for sure.
Video and song are both absolutely beautiful
Cmon!! Thatâs Cab Calloway, man! ( man in yellow).A music LEGEND. The Cotton Club? Minnie the Moocher? An icon of Black History. As were the Nicholas Brothers! Cyd Charisse (older woman in glitter red dress) was a dancing legend in the 50âs and 60âs, iconic in Singin in the Rain and Silk Stockings. Some of the choreo was done by the legendary Michael Kidd who directed Guys and Dolls among many other classic film musicals.
This whole video was a valentine to the musicals that influenced much of Janets work.
Exactly! These younger people need to do they history before speaking.
School himđđđđ
Nicholas brothers were the 2 older black men tap dancing. They were famous dancers in the old movies, 1940s. Google Nicholas Brothers and staircase. Your mind will be blown.
@@viviha34 They started out as kids. I loved their talent. So many legends & pioneers from that era. I can't watch those legends without tearing up.
Guys, everybody doesn't know everything. Give him a break.
Janet: All Nite Don't Stop / So excited
yes!!!!!! and "I want you" je je
Jack, I know you are young, but you have to learn the legends and this video is loaded with them. Thats one of the things that made this video so iconic, added with Janet's tremendous talent.
đđŸđđŸđđŸđđŸđđŸđđŸđđŸ
How is he supposed to know these people if he has never seen them before or never was taught who they are? Hopefully he can will learn something from the comments. We don't expect him to know everything going in, especially if he keeps telling you he is on a musical discovery journey!
I live for a Janet reaction
Alex Delacruz we all do hey hun how are you đ
Mark Minez Iâm so so in this quarantine mess. Miss you . How are you?
Alex Delacruz same here Iâm over this quarantine mess , miss you also doing well , Iâll hit you up on Instagram.
@@markmenez4097 OMG, I just watched Michael Jackson Webley live 1988 ...The talent. gives me butterflies and to much to handle...on repeat.
I wish u reacted to the one with Heavy D on it, but when I saw this on your Patreon, I was like âFINALLYâ!!! đđ Btw, this was Aaliyahâs personal favorite music video from Janet! She said that it has this really cool, retro vibe and amazing dance moves.
I remember when she said that at her ICON show on MTV!
Janet Jackson "Funny How Time Flies", Jack. That has to happen.
Yes yes Ms glendie g my favorite songs by her. Absolutely đ„đ„đ„đ„
Yesss!!!
One of her best songs of all time
@@chado2226 he's done that one already. That's the first I saw of him and that video made me subscribe
The man in the yellow suit is the one and only Cab Calloway. The older lady in the red dress was Cyd Charisse. And the twins at the end were the Nicolas Brothers. These were phenomenal performers from the 40s-50s. You should look them up, Jack!!
Jack, this video was much deeper than you realized. Janet was paying homage to early 1900s Legends-Cab Calloway (Yellow suit), The Nicholas Brothers, and Cyd Charlize (woman in the red dress dancing with Janet in one of the scenes), whom were all included in the video. I believe all of that went over your head lol. Also, when Janet was waiting for Cab Calloway and his date (her twin) to get out of the limousine, she was pushed down, which made her watch snap from her pocket (how she lost it). You talked too much through this one, so missed much of Artistry . Fun Fact: Aaliyah credited this as her Favorite Janet Jackson video.
He missed so much.. Kids today... smh. Back in the day, you had to WATCH the video, because it told story..
he always talks too much through every Janet video
He's a die hard Janet fan at this point LOL. You cant help but get excited by her visuals. We all remember seeing a Janet video for the first time...even today.
And Harold Nicholas was married to Dorothy Dandridge...(Twenty Foreplay video...before Halle).
Cyd Charisse. But go easy on him.. he wasn't around yet, for him to know what us older heads got to experience.. he's just excited, as I still get.
That was Cab Calloway a famous singer and dancer back in the 1930, 1940's don't insult me abt how he looks like Curious George Look him up pls don't disrespect him as say you don't want to so learn abt him he was amazing
Exactly!
I don't think it was disrespectful. He is waaay to young to know and no one speaks much about him. But he wasn't calling him Curious George but The man in the Yellow suit was George's friend.
I guess guys you forgot that Cab Calloway was depicted a lot in cartoon form.
Jack makes a lot of jokes on here, it's not that serious.
Omg Thank you
PLEASE REACT TO JANET JACKSON- ALL NITE DONT STOP đ„đ„đ„đ„
The remix video with Heavy D is even better
Janet was dancing with the great dancers from yester-year. Golden years of Hollywood!
The Flower đč
Yes you finally did "Alright"!!! My 2nd favorite song off the album. The video is amazing and now you see why Janet and Michael are known as music video blueprints! They set the standards for videos. There's a reason why Janet was the highest paid artist of the 90s even with Whitney, Mariah, Celine, Michael, and other huge talented artists. Janet was in a league of her own. On another note listen to how much deeper Janet's vocals are. She's very versatile. I love it! You'll see a lot of references to her videos and performances and even Beyonce on her Formation tour referenced Janet's "Alright" video and Beyonce even dressed as Rhythm Nation for Halloween. Just so you know at the end it shows that Janet and her 2 friends were actually homeless and everything that happened was a dream. Thumbs up again!
Janet paid homage to both Cab Calloway and Cyd Charisse in this video and the video was amazing back when it came out and even more so now! Thank you for doing this one!
And don't forget the Nicholas Brothers
She lost her watch when she got out Cab Calloway limousine
Was about to comment this lmao.
@@Ty0688 đ€Ł đ€Ł
"Sound like pink panther" I'm deaaaad đ€Łđ€Łđđđ
SMH
Same đ€Łđ€Ł
Right lol. I was thinking the same thing when he said that lol. It waaaay before his time lol
So glad this reaction is out, too many legends in one video đđâ€
Fun fact: This was Aaliyah's favorite Janet song đ
The man in the yellow suit was legendary jazz/swing time musician Cab Callaway also known as the hidy ho man one of his more popular hits was Minnie the moocher
My number one favorite Janet song and video. Iconic!! All the LEGENDS in this video!!!
One of her best videos! I love that she included legends like the Nicholas Brothers and Cab Calloway here. The Nicholas Brothersâ scene in Stormy Weather may be the most impressive dance performance ever recorded!
The man in the yellow suit who puts her pocket watch in her hand as she was sleeping is the ONE AND ONLY LEGENDARY CAB CALLOWAY, hence the whole Zoot Suit clothing and theme was a tribute to Cab Calloway. Also, as Janet was getting out of the car the chain on her pocket watch got snagged on some type of car floor fixture and broke the chain on her pocket watch which is why Janet said to her friends in the video âhey you guys, my watch, my watch is goneâ
When you said " the sign of the times" you have to remember this was the MTV video era, Michael and Janet both made sure to stay on top with very high quality high production videos.
24 play janet Jackson. Slept on track
elevated science so so slept on, sadly...one of my favourite songs of Janet and Every time...no one does classy sexy better than Ms. Jacksonđ
@@leatitiamalone4841 together again deeper remix is also slept on
đ„
You gotta go look into who Cyd Cherise, The Nicholas Brothers and Cab Calloway were. They made this video special!! All very famous acts from the 1940s dancing in this video! In fact you should react to The Nicholas Brothers in Stormy Weather. They were the 2 old men tap dancing, and probably the greatest dance duo ever!!
Iâd love to see your reaction to the full Rhythm Nation short film. This was off of that project too . Youâll notice that she always balances the serious with fun pieces. In the RN album, there is an interlude where she ask after delivering the serious content âget the point?.....good.....letâs danceâ so this was that moment. She wanted to feature some if the great entertainers that inspired her to perform, Cab Calloway, being the featured. Thatâs the guy in yellow looking like Jim Carey in the âMaskâ. The symbolism of the video. She dreamed of going back in time to see him perform. She performs along side him and some if the greats that inspired her. She loses her watch in the cab. Cab Calloway returns the watch to her at his present age. Kind of suggesting that it was her time to be the entertainer that we know now.
The guy in the yellow zoot suit was a guy playing the younger Cab Calloway. The guy at the very end in the yellow zoot suit was the real Cab Calloway. In the video when she got out of the car, you saw where her watch was stuck and broke off her chain. The end of the video is to show you that she and her two companions are actually homeless people who were dreaming of what life might have been like in Cab Calloway's heyday (the 1930s). I've always loved her and Michael's videos. They always spent so much money on the production and they didn't get paid for it, since music videos were made to promote their albums. I miss these times so much.
The woman wearing the red dress was the famous dancer Cyd Charisse. She danced with Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly. Those were the great dancers during the Golden Age of Hollywood! The young dancers of today are still studying their style and movements! Michael Jackson loved Fred Astaire and studied his dancing! Fred Astaire was Michael Jackson the first time Michael Jackson did the moon walk on T.V. Called Michael Jackson and told Michael Jackson how much he was impressed by his performance. Those legends were amazing. Simply amazing!

The video takes place in 1940s Harlem! Janet and her friends are excited because Cab Calloway is coming to town! Cab Calloway has a cameo in the video. Mr Calloway was a famous bandleader, singer, dancer, songwriter, and actor in the 1940s and 1940s. Mr Calloway is associated with the renown Cotton Club in Harlem, NYC. Musically he is best known for the song âMinnie the Moocher". Mr Calloway is applauded as inspiring Michel and Janet Jackson, James Brown, and many modern day hip hop artists!
Nasty - Janet Jackson
So Excited - Janet Jackson( if you can find the video)
Thinking about my ex - Janet Jackson
Every Time - Janet Jackson
What About - Janet Jackson
I love all the history in the comments and in this video. Man I miss how videos use to be an event. Now react to Runaway by janet. That is another great visual video of hers.
There's a famous dance sequence between Cyd Charrise and Fred Astaire that inspired Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" video. and Cab Calloway was thee first super star showman. He's mostly forgotten by the mains stream but people who appreciate vintage and historical music know that he's the absolute GOAT! If you were too ever to react to Cab, recommending the Jump Jive with Nicholas Brothers. It's considered one of the best dance sequences ever captured on film.
React to:
Would you mind - Janet Jackson
I want you - Janet Jackson
Whatever Happens - Michael Jackson
Doesnât really matter - Janet Jackson
Youâre still my man - Whitney Houston
This time around - Michael Jackson
Money - Michael Jackson
Countdown - Beyonce
In the closet (ACAPELLA) - Michael Jackson
I'm subscribing because:
You catch details like the blind man. And you pay attention to the level of video production. Some posters criticize you for not "knowing" who Janet was paying homage to.
Don't worry, your heart is in the right place.
Keep pointing out the level of video production.
I like your site.
Omgggg! Jack you have to react to Janet Jackson velvet rope your live performance she is incredible!!!
Brandy- missing you, with Gladys Knight, tamia, Chaka Khan
Been requesting that for weeks lol
V Green same here. Lol
@@mauricemiller8596 hopefully soon
V Green yes I hope. Heâs really gonna enjoy that one. Specially ms knights verse/ vocals
That was the real Cab Callaway. He was a famous big band jazz singer. Look him up.
The next Janet video you should do is âAll Niteâ no question about it
Hi react to Janet Jackson Come Back to Me itâs off the Rhythm Nation Album like Alright .
Thanks
i love this video, especially because of the cameos from Cab Calloway, Cyd Charisse, and the Nicolas brothers
One of the best most creative videos ever! Big ups for her getting cab colloway in this...he's a legend
The extended version has Heavy D in it, and she lost the watch in the limo when she was escorted by a younger Cab Calloway, and he brought it back to her at the end.
Jack, I appreciate your videos and respect for artists like Janet. As a self-described Michael and Janet Jackson expert she paid a lot of homage to Old School greats like the Nicholas brothers and Cab Calloway in this video. Lots of detail and lots of historic figures to look into...cheers!
Can you react to Janet Jackson When I Think of You
I always thought of this video as Janet's Smooth Criminal.
This video is packed with so many references, it's ridiculous.
Lots of historical figures in this video. Cab Calloway was a icon and a huge jazz artist during the early 30s, 40s and 50s. That style of suite Janet was was wearing was very popular during this era and I believe it was called a zoot suite. FYI, Janet lost the watch exiting the taxi. The young guy in the yellow suit was a young version of Cab Calloway as he helped Janet from the limo to the red carpet. At the end of the video, an old version of Cab Calloway wearing the same yellow suit returns the pocket watch to Janet as she slept with her friends at the bus stop at the end of the video.
Youâve gotta do something live next time you do her!! Her stage presence is something else. I recommend âWhat Aboutâ from Velvet Rope tour. Great reaction as always!
Janet is the best crazy videođ„đ„
That's Cab Calloway in the Yellow suit!! She idolizes him in the video and is imagining that it was her on his arm in that limo sequence.
"Black Cat" from Rhythm Nation is cool..more on the rock side! Thanks!
âđđ¶đ
The guy in the yellow suit was the"Famous and Great Cab Callaway. He was The FAMOUS CONDUCTOR during the Golden era of Hollywood! He was among those who brought fame to black talent in Hollywood! Cab Callaway, The Nicholas Brothers, Dorothy Dangridge, Lena Horne, Harry Belafonte, Cicely Tyson, just to name a few, were the ones who paved the way for the talents of the people of color. Notice that I said people of color because those talents cover more than just African Americans. It covered Latinas, Samoans, Native Americans, Mongolian and so many more! The world is mainly comprised of people of color. There are people who see themselves as White People but are in actuality people of color. Causation people are Dutch, The English or British, the Irish, the Australians, also, South Africa which has a mosaic of cultures that became a biodiversity land. The people of color in South Africa experienced great pain after The Dutch came into power there, much like the South here in America. May we ever grow to understand and respect the diversity in one another!

Janet has an amazing songs and videos this is 1 of my favorites
Yes!!! Been waiting for this!! Did you know that new jack swing genre actually started on Janetâs âControlâ album? Sheâs amazing
Yes đđŸ nasty was the precursor
Janet is a great entertainer. This is back when videos were as credible as movies...also, keep on doin what you do
The Nicholas Brothers were also in video tapping very legendary famous dancer
Whenever Janet brought out music wise especially a music video it was an amazing time because it did indeed inspire artists to be more creative and Janet had that overwhelming ability to do just that. Just in case you donât know who the guy in the yellow suit is @ jack reacts, thatâs the legendary cab Calloway which she was extremely fortunate to get for her video
I like this video, it always puts me in a good mood. And seeing Cab Calloway, Cyd Charisse, the Nichols Brothers it is so amazing. Such a tribute to the Golden Era od entertainment with a touch of modern music. This is one of my favorite music videos. Thanks, Jack!!!!
9:49 Check out the extended remix with Heavy D on it! Even he can bust a move (which should inspire you to try đ 7:26 )! With Janet, ALWAYS choose the extended version (e.g., the chair dance in "Miss You Much")
Yes! Been waiting on this one! Please react to Janet's music off her Control album. "Control" Nasty" "Let's wait awhile" & "What have you done for me lately." Thanks Jack.đđ
The one in the yellow is Cab Calloway...the famous tap dancer along with the Nicolas Brothers..back in the 40s or 50s when Frank Sinatra stole their dance moves before black were allowed on TV...
Fun side notes: This video is so huge to dancers, because as you see, not only did Janet employ hundreds of dancers for the video, but the fact that she showcased legends Cab Calloway, Cyd Charisse and The Nicholas Brothers in the video was just incredible. They were all film and dance legends from the 40s and 50s. Cab Calloway is the "yellow dude".
You should react to a couple of songs for Janet... check out What About (from The Velvet Rope) and Nasty (from Control).
My favorite song and video of hers đ
This video looks like a mini musical. There are famous dancers in this video who were well known during the prime of musicals : Cyd Charisse (the lady dancing outside the store) and the Nicholas brothers. Jack please react to : Spending time with you, Control , Come back to men,Make me, Rock with u. Janet Jackson and Luther Vandross The best things in life are free.
You must react to twentyfour play and come back to me
by her
It reminds me of Paula abduls opposites attract music video. So cool.
This was a tribute to the dancers and music of another era. They made cameos throughout the video. The guy in canary yellow was the famous singer, bandleader, dancer Cab Calloway who was my grandmotherâs cousin.
Maaaaan I'm telling you, that suit that she wears in this video is the shiiiit! I still want one to this day.
Please react to Janet as a kid with her older bro MJ, acting on the Jackson's TV special in the 70s!đ
Cab Calloway was one of the pioneers of Black entertainment in the early 20th century. This movie pays homage to musicals from that area, which included artists such as Cab Calloway, who portrays himself in the last segment, giving Janet her pocket watch back (which she lost in the car, where the younger Cab Calloway offered her that free ride in). The music video also features the likes of Cyd Charisse, a famous actress and dancer who danced with the likes of Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly. You also see the very talented dancing Nicholas Brothers, who were also famous in the early 1900's.
Glad you enjoyed the music video. There is an extended version also that features rapper Heavy D making a cameo rap in the middle of the song. Definitely worth checking out!
This was phenomenal when it came out. She was fairly new at the time but was already a superstar and everyone flipped out because she included Cab Calloway who was such a pioneer and died not too long after. It would be like if today Lady Gaga did something with Fred Astaire or Chris Brown with James Brown if those artists were alive. Or Beyonce with Tina Turner since she's still living. It was excellent but the epitome of paying homage. So dope
I hate that Heavy D's part wasn't in this one. His verse was great.
Yes...I wish he had done the Heavy D version too. Especially since he didn't know who Heavy D was in Michael Jackson's Jam
Famous Nicholas Brothers are in the video as well!! Early pioneers in dancing
I hope by now you did some research on the subject of her video. She was playing homage to the genius of the late great Cab Calloway. That old man in the end of the video dressed in yellow was actually him. He was music! Big band leader, innovator, and game changer. Music on a whole would be nothing without him.
My fav love Janet!
Cyd Charisse the Woman in Red who came out to dance with Janet was a dancer between the 30s and 40s if I'm not mistaken
And the guy in yellow at the end is cab calloway
This is one of those songs where the video is much better than and therefore elevates the song itself.
This video is a tribute the the jazz era in New York. It has a lot of legendary cameo appearances from that era. Janet is known as a dancer so the tribute is paying homage to the great dancers of that time. Cab Calloway is in the yellow. Cyd Charrise is the lady with the red dress who came out of the store, and the Nicolas Brothers were the two guys who were tap dancing in the alley (7:20). All of them were phenomenal and laid the groundwork for alot of artist today especially those who dance. There should be videos of each of them on youtube. Cab Calloway is a jazz ICON who has been copied by and influence may who came after! Great reaction.
Hey Jack! I think you might like "Making Love in the Rain" by Herb Alpert; It features Lisa Keith as lead singer, and Janet's on the background vocals
Jack, bruh, a bit of constructive criticism: sometimes you talk too much during the video and you miss key moments. Then you wind up posing questions relating to those exact moments. Lmao.
I was thinking the same exact thing
Yes this is true.
PLEASE do The Knowledge (from rhythm nation era) and Runaway from Janet! Ohhhh damn and DONT STOP! Shows her epic dancing and sexiness all wrapped in one!
The extended version included a verse by Heavy D. It wasnât fan made, it was like a remix
Re-watch the video...she dropped her watch in the car @ 7:17 a younger Cab Calloway picked it up...an older Cab returned it.
The video is set for the late 1930's early 1940's.
React to Janet Jackson All nite, and Accept Me,
@Jack Reacts I haven't watched this video by Janet in a minute. I forgot how intricate it was, highlighting the 1940's Harlem era đ„° Jack you have me CRACKING UP 7:25 - 7:33 JACK: "Just everyone can dance. It's making me so mad. I need to learn how to dance...I need to learn how to dance, dance" đđđ I love it đ„°
The song "Black Cat" from Rhythm Nation is an awesome song and Janet wrote this one!
You'll be surprised!
Thank you!ââ€đ¶đ
Michael, Janet and Madonna basically created music videos and theirs are the standards literally every other artists reach for. The only one who compares today is Beyonce
Without you- Christina Aguilera
You should react to Janet Jackson Everytime I think you would like it
Yesss! Itâs her most beautiful video
Such a beautiful Visual
Cab Colloway was well famous singer and band leader back in the 1940s. Bebop was the hip hop of that era. He was the highest paid black performer in those days. The woman mannequin was well known dancer singer actress Cyd chiase. And the nicholas brothers tap dancing duo. Featuring these legends was the concept from 1940s. The longer version had the late rapper heavy d.
My fav!! Thank you for your reaction.
Music video was styled to resemble a 1930s and 1950s musical, featured Cyd Charisse, The Nicholas Brothers, and Cab Calloway in one of his last on-screen appearances.
The man in the yellow suit was legendary performer Cab Galloway! Look him up. You should have done the version with Heavy D.
Cyd charisse was 63years old on this video and look at her just stunning!
Dude In Yellow was the Legendary Cab Calloway, famous dancer. Janet and Mike was a big fan of his.
fav from janet, happy that u reacted to itâïž
