Brilliant! Yes. Dear Buster's every move was like a dance, so this is a perfect choice of song! Thanx so much for sharing! Buster Keaton. What a man. He could do it all. And did! No CGI. What you saw was all Buster. Wrote. Directed. Produced. Acted. Comedy. Drama. Composed, played, and sang. Danced. Conceived and executed stunts. Designed and built machines and props for gags. The famous watertower torrent broke his neck! (Sherlock Jr. --- Buster didn't account for such water pressure And he didn't know he'd broken his neck 'til years later at a routine exam when his doctor told him so.) And, oh, that well-known falling housefront bit! (Steamboat Bill Jr. --- He only had about a 2" clearance in that window. And the house front weighed about 3000 lbs.) Quite impressive! The Great Stone Face. (Buster found out during his time in vaudeville with his parents, that if he laughed during a bit, the audience didn't, so he trained himself to keep a straight face all the time.) The Greatest of All Time! A really great guy. The true Iron Man: Broke most every bone in his body, and kept going. And . . . He had pinpoint accuracy with a custard pie at 27 feet, even in his later years! RIP, darling Buster, and thanx so very much for the magic, music, and memories. (Yes. I absolutely adore Buster Keaton. For 70+ years now.) Edit to add: Hi, Ava! I got nosey, and peeped into your video cupboard. Wow. Just wow. Color me excited, enchanted, and happily newly subscribed!
Buster was such a great dancer wasn't he. I could just watch him dance all day. Even though he's a little short for me, I'll still take a turn dancing with him any day. : )
Great, great, great as always, Ava. I've always thought it was no coincidence that the wife that stuck it out--and the love of his life--was a dancer. A master choreographer I know here in my town said that after watching some of BK's films that there was no other way to describe what he did than as a form of dance. (And she wasn't talking about the dance sequences, either!) But I wouldn't have thought the Bee Gees would work with Bee Kay...and gosh, they do!
Nicely done, but you missed the Egyptian dance from "The Cook!" I included it in Buster's take on "Gangnam Style." th-cam.com/video/UdFFl_sKkIs/w-d-xo.html
Genuis pur genuis

He is such a great dancer isn't he.
So cool to see Buster cutting the rug. I would have loved to dance with Buster. He was the perfect height for me too. Loved the music too.

Buster can work with just about any one, just give him a chance. :)

I love dancing and I would love to dance with him.
Brilliant! Great music tribute to a wonderful comedian. Thanks for putting this together.
We all should be dancing, even Buster. Thank you so much for watching.
I Love waking up to new videos of Buster. Thanks so much Ava. Wonderful as always!
Yes, he is!
It is from the 1919 film "Back Stage" one of the 14 movies he made with Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle. I hope that helps you.
You are welcome.
