The Nicholas Brothers

Check out The Nicholas Brothers in a well made makeover of their most famous movie number. I usually don't like to see classic material messed with, but they did an interesting job on this one.

What do y'all think?

No harm, no foul, & no matter how its framed, that's some amazing work by The Nicholas Brothers.

While I prefer the original from "Stormy Weather", any Nicholas Brothers will do. If you've never spent any time in their company, check out some of the other videos on YouTube. My Lordy me. I just wish they'd been afforded the same opportunities in film that were given to the likes of Astaire, Kelly and O'Connor.

Up over and out.

Here's another good clip, a 1933 short, "Smash Your Baggage" featuring my old friend Elmer Snowden and his orchestra, which included Dickie Wells, Otto Hardwicke, and Roy Eldridge at that time. Some fabulous dancing by a bunch of people, including Emmett "Babe" Wallace (who would later appear in numerous films) and Rubberlegs Williams, who sang "the lesbian national anthem," My Buddy, at Bessie Smith's funeral, and later sang on an infamous Clyde Hart date that included Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker.

BTW That's not really Grand Central Station, but the set is convincing.
