**Please note: This is just a clip from a personal (hobbyist) recording that I made years ago from a live television broadcast of a movie that I happen to like and so I uploaded the clip 'As Is' simply for others to enjoy, viewing format discrepancy and all.
Sorry for the format discrepancy and just know that if you are one who does not like this format for viewing, your voice HAS already been heard here as you can read in some of the comments below. Therefore, there is simply no need to belabor that point any longer as everyone is already fully aware. Thanks so much for your cooperation and thanks for watching!
************
Buddy Ebsen plays "Mush" Tracy in this clip you are watching from the 1936 MGM musical, "Born to Dance". Here he does an eccentric dance number as part of the huge dance finale in the picture called "Swingin' the Jinx Away".
A 2011 TCM cable broadcast.
Celebrating film preservation++ and in honor of our troops.
*************
++Please note: The "Celebrating film Preservation' comment above was referring to the TCM broadcast from years ago and has nothing to do with the word 'restoration' used as part of the name of this channel. It was simply included to describe the reason for TCM's original broadcast of this movie which was to highlight films that had been professionally preserved for future generations to enjoy. Clearly the preservation/restoration work I do on this channel only concerns legacy music recordings, not film, and should not be confused between the two.
**************
For your enjoyment, here are a couple of TH-cam links to two other films from the same year(1936) that Mr. Ebsen appeared in and also performed dance routines:
1. "Captain January", also from 1936 in a film number called, "At the Codfish Ball": • At The Codfish Ball - ... .
2. "Banjo On My Knee". This time, the film has him singing and dancing with none other than Miss Barbara Stanwyck in a two song-and-dance sequence - the film's title, "Banjo On My Knee" and also to a number called, "Swanee": • Banjo On My Knee/Swane... .

When I was a kid a met him at a 31 flavors with my dad. My dad said , let him be . He is just enjoying day off. I kept looking sideways at him ( i was 8 or so ). Before he left he came over in full Jeb Clampette character and said hello to our table then focused on me. I saw my dad and Jeb exchange smile and wink of an eye. I think Mr. Ebsin appreciated my dads attempt to give him his free time. He left with a " wellll dogggyyyy , I think i see granny," and left.
What a nice memory! Thats a far cry from the Hollywood crowd today!
Wow. What a great story. I would have just lost it in amazement. 🐰
Great story! There's a local channel here in Ottawa (Ontario) that play's The Beverly Hillbillies every weekday. That show hasn't aged a day. Still as gut busting funny as it was in the '60s. That cast was pure gold. I still marvel at how fantastic they all were - how great was Irene Ryan as Granny... 😃
Thats first class.
Mike Devita absolutely FIRST CLASS, loved the man then and still!!! What a great memory!
I don't think I've ever seen him that young. Amazing! This video is 13 years shy of 100 years old!
It's why it is important to find, restore, transfer these gems. So much was lost in numerous fires and general neglect.
It's a blessing that we see a star in their early years though we may know them for their later work(s).
@@alternateName600 I can see why. I only saw him on The Beverly Hillbillies reruns, and now that I saw this video I can see that Jed was just an act.
@@alternateName600probably because he was known as a dancer, not a singer.
@@koreybobviously it was an act...unless Buddy Ebsen was a real hillbilly, which he wasn't. I think the real reason was because he was known as a dancer, not a singer. Yet, here he's having to try to sing some lame tune and he wasn't gifted much in that area.
@@teller1290 I was a bit naive I guess, but I didn't know much about him and only saw him in The Beverly Hillbillies so I wrongly assumed he was like a hillbilly.
Never realized Mr. Ebsen was a brilliant song and dance man as well as an actor….he was so young here I wouldn’t have recognized him.
Now Granny, if you can go over to the kitchen and russel us up some viddels😊
Back in the day many of these actors and actresses danced and sang before get their first rolls
Same here... then I realized - wasn't he supposed to play the Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz? He had to be good at dancing and singing to do that in that costume. Too bad allergies if I'm not mistaken, got him out of that role.
You could see the resemblance though. Yeah he got started in dance. I first saw him as Davy Crockett's buddy on Disney with Fess Parker. WTF ever happened to ole Fess he kinda dropped atta sight probably had a bad agent. Both of those guys lived to a ripe one.
@@leecowell8165: after the Daniel Boone series ended, he wasn’t offered very many roles and the ones that he did get - - were small ones. He retired from acting and opened a successful winery in California. Now his family descendants successfully own and run the ‘Fess Parker Winery and Inn’.
I met Buddy at the Richard Nixon library a couple of years before he passed. He was asked if he still danced, and at over 90, he could still tap those shoes, as he accommodated the small group with a few nifty steps. He was very gracious and I got to shake this legends hand.
I love Barnaby Jones still
He always seemed like a good guy.
Can’t say enough about Jed Clampett. Rest In Peace old Buddy.
@1949rangerrick "The Richard Nixon Library." What is in that library, Watergate tapes of Nixon talking about beating up hippies and using the "N" word?!
Black gold Texas Tea!
I like how Buddy makes it look as though his shoes are doing the dancing and he's having a hard time staying on top of them!😆
That's a great description!
brilliant
You clearly explained my impression of his style! His casual ~ almost accidental ~ strut brings a relaxed air to this clip (along with the belt-buckle camera height)...
@@agrobeson6471 Thanks for mentioning the camera height. Before I read your comment I felt there was something "off" about the video but I couldn't put my finger on it. But then my next thought was why would they do this? The only thing I could come up with is that the barrels of those guns are at an angle that matches a lot of posters and pictures that ive seen.
This is one of those observations that you never forget. 20 years from now I'll see an awesome dancer and your words will pop into my head. It'll make me remember seeing Buddy's dance and how perfectly you described it!
This is the youngest i’ve ever seen him. I grew up watching this man on TV. What a legend
Buddy was the real thing!!! my kid brother worked on Buddy's show "Barnaby Jones" and I met him on set and he was team player and generous to the crew!! class all the way. My brother used to play golf with him until his death!!!!!!
And have they investigated your brother for that?
I absolutely love that! His character on Beverly Hillbillies seemed just like that. May he RIP
This man was truly blessed. Later in life, he discovered Black Gold (Texas Tea) oozing out of the ground on his homestead. He danced all the way to the bank.
And their cement pond!
Oil, that is.
Bubblin’ crude
He visited the V.A. hospital during Christmas and showed us some of his dance moves in the late 80'.
My cousin met him in the early 70's right after the Beverly Hillbillies ended. He said he was one great guy. I loved everything he did.
All hail Buddy Ebson, the greatest old school vaudeville song-and-dance men. Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly needed big musical numbers and elaborate set pieces. Buddy just made it happen.
This was an era when a lot of stars did it all. They could sing, dance, and act.
Jimmy Cagney!!
@@teller1290 Great example!
Amen - they had REAL talent !
They had to be multi talented. If a call went out for a hoofer (dancer) they could raise their hand. If the call went out for an actor, they'd raise their hand. If a call went out for a singer, they could warble enough to get an audition. Times were tough and they had to be flexible enough to get a job whatever the movie needed.
Jimmy Cagney was such a multi talented gem besides shoving grapefruit into a woman's face. Another is Christopher Walken, not known as a dancer but he could move. Jerry Lewis was an amazingly competent dancer besides his usual awkward, loud, socially inept, cringey character.
I knew he was a great actor, but I'd never seen him dance before! What a performer!
I like his acting but this is, putting it nicely. NOT GOOD.
In those days you couldn't get by on famous for being famous. You had to be talented. It helped if, like Buddy Ebsen, your skeleton sort of disappeared when you were dancing.
By the way, I think there are videos of Bob Hope holding his own with Jimmy Cagney....
He was mainly a dancer. He was the first pick for the Tin Man, but he had an allergic reaction to the make-up.
He had a famous dance routine with Shirly Temple.
Just found a clip of Julie Andrews dancing with Gene Kelly. Forgot that she grew up in an entertainment family where the attitude was to use talent you had to make a living.
Mr Ebsen was one of Hollywoods best dancers. He had a style of his own and he danced like no one else.
He was a super talented guy.
I think it became forgotten over just how talented Buddy was with song and dance as well as acting over the years.. He was so different to all the others..
Great character actor too. Just saw him playing a bad guy on an episode of Rawhide and he was very convincing.
He would occasionally dance on TBH
And temporarily the Tin Man.
yes 1940 , many lost talents over time . look up The Ross Sisters- and their ' Solid Potato Salad ' number. Kinda cheesy by our standards of the day. Muscle through the song part and you will be gifted with some raw athleticism and talent. nice mr. Epsen is not forgotten
@@dougfredricks2017tbh?
Back in the days to be a movie star you actually had to have talent, sing, dance and act.
Not like the "stars" of today.
Absolutely correct. Art in our society has severely deteriorated whether in movies, TV, music, documentary. It's all gone thanks to corrupt producers driven strictly by money with no regard to creating great art.
Somewhat true. Some great actors have never been singers. But there are some hacks in the movies today.
That's because musical pictures were the bread and butter of the studios in this era. They're pretty rare nowadays. Modern audiences just aren't as interested.
Today's "stars" are nothing but no talent you tube hacks
you really have to watch Sunset Boulevard. Such a poignant film about aging actors from the golden era. A little theatrical cannibalistic but so well played and performed. will not give it away ..but love the line.. I am a Star. The relationship with Max , breaks my heart.
Buddy was originally cast to play the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz movie, but he had a severe reaction to the silver greasepaint on his face and hands, so he had to be replaced. Can you imagine how great it would have been to have Buddy as the Tin Man?
Still, Ray Bolger was no slouch, either.
@@RaymondCore Ray Bolger played the Scarecrow. You mean Jack Haley.
Jack was great.
Jack Haley was pretty good, but there's a reason Buddy was cast ahead of him. I think Buddy would have nailed it.
@@RaymondCore Tin Man was played by Jack Haley--Bolger was the scarecrow.
Certain people just have it. You don't even need to see the face to know when it's Buddy Ebsen dancing. A style all his own.
I first "met" Buddy Ebsen as Georgie Russell in Davy Crockett. I know he was a talented and multifaceted actor, but he'll always be a frontiersman and pioneer to me.
Me too! “Give ‘em what ‘fer, Davy!”
I have never seen Buddy Ebsen perform in his earlier days. He was fabulous and my favorite show that he did was Barnaby Jones. You were one of a kind Buddy Ebsen, Rest In Peace sir.
He used to dance with his sister a good deal.
I got an invaluable piece of advice watching Barnaby Jones regarding false accusations: "Never voice your suspicions, because once they're vocalized,they become accusations". That has stuck with me since I was a kid! Thanks,Buddy! RIP
He was the original tin man in the Wizard of Oz, But he was allergic to the power they sued omn his face and had a near fatal reaction to it.
Freaking amazing. It looks modern too and this was 1936!
Yes !
When Buddy started dancing as Jed Clampett, we were very amazed. Now I see we should be amazed that this talented actor did not do more in his character as Jed. Granny was very talented too!! Both missed n both loved!!😮
Buddy Ebsen had bizzaz, he aslo had the legs and moves to dance like he did, 6'3" happy-go-lucky fellow. How can you not appreciate a guy like that?
Looks like Uncle Jed got into the moonshine again!
You would too if you struck oil, became a millionaire - and moved to the Hills Of Beverly!
💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲
Yeeee - haw!!!
@@142horizon Can you imagine if things worked out differently and Buddy was the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz? Almost happened.
Jed. I loved how Jed had more common sense and instincts than anybody on the show. Beverly Hillbillies that is.
Yeah, the Jed character was the most level-headed of all of them.
Like Andy Griffith on his show.
@@duaneantor9157 Yes, I hadn't thought about that, but. so true.
lol how many times did he take the rifle away from granny as she was running outside to shoot some poor guy.
Buddy was a treasure...Great talent
Even dead, he's still a treasure than any new dancer will ever be.
ABSOLUTELY!!!
One of the greatest American entertainers ever! Over 70 years of show biz, with multiple hit movies and TV shows!
Buddy had a great talent both as an actor and song and dance man!
He was an enormously versatile talented man who deserved more recognition. "Ya'll come back now, ya hear!"😊
what a awesome dancer he was!
What the hell!...Never knew Buddy Ebsen was young at some point. I thought he was born looking like Jed Clampett or Barnaby Jones.
I joke, but the guy entertained me during childhood on both shows.
Thank you, Mr. Ebsen.
Amazing that he is totally recognizable through facial expressions…
His limberness reminds me of Ray Bolger. Would have been fun seeing those two in The Wizard of Oz.
That would have been the case, Buddy Epson was going to be in Wizard of Oz, but he had a reaction to the paint makeup and was replaced while he was recovering
Ray Bolger was amazing and he did not dance in a specific style for Oz; if you watch some of his other work you can see that what you saw in Oz was just a sampling of what he was capable of. An extremely impressive dancer with an amazingly flexible body. Some abilities you have to be born with -- not learned.
I love to watch both dancers, but I think the movie would have suffered as a result.
Oh Jed, you stop that and get back inside! That cement pond needs more water!
I always liked it when the whole family would be looking all around and the banker would ask.. what you looking for.. Where that music comes from? We look all over but wouldn't you know it, Somebody always comes to the door and music stops.
And EllieMay needs lotion on her back....🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😳
I grew up on The Beverly Hillbillies, from the first episode. This is the first time I recall seeing any work from Buddy's "previous life." Nice head of hair! Thanks!
Buddy's dancing is weird, but at the same time, he is a pro and very entertaining.
This video explains a lot. I often wondered why he "happened" to be so good in those scenes when they had those "shindigs" like when Flatt and Scruggs were guest stars. No idea he had a dance background.
Big Time
SUPERIOR MOVES!!!!!
I had absolutely no idea he did this or was in entertainment this long
I'd recognize that smile anywhere!!! Great video and thanks for sharing this classic performance with us. Much appreciated.
Tool a while to recognize Uncle Jed in that young face. But I eventually did.
He and my grandmother dated, way back when. In Florida, before he got his start in show biz. She said he was a fine fellow, a nice guy.
Wow you can see he's a young Jed Clampett- distinctive face...
💖 That show!! 👍
Crazy legs Buddy!
I heard that he used one of those 15” naval guns to shoot at some food. When he did so, up from the ground came some bubbling crude! 😜
Wow Buddy is mad young here...
I'm only use to seeing him in 1960's 😏
Here a lil before my time lolz😹 😆 🤣 😂
On the verge of falling down dancing , wonderful.
he was called the human puppet because of his dance moves no one could move like him
Except his great grandson, John Krasinski.
Didn't he do a dance sequence for the Wizard of Oz that was later cut ?
Oh yes they could. Ray Bolger was better.
Such a unique dancing style
That was a very kind way to put it
I only knew him as one of the Hillbillies. Thanks for sharing that video with us. You can look at his features and recognize him.
I was at the taping of the Live with Regis and Kathy Lee when Buddy was a guest. He was a very talented gentlman
He was massive talent..
Wow it's now 2022. Almost 90 years ago. Buddy sure was an awesome dancer
"Visit the prisoners of Alcatraz.
They're doing time, but the time is Jazz."
What a fabulous line!
He hasn't changed except for the silver hair ! LOL I loved seeing this ! He was just a baby ! lol
Buddy Ebsen was talented! He could sing, dance, perform in dramatic roles and comedy. Check him out in Breakfast at Tiffany's.
Little did Buddy know that he'd be playing Barnaby Jones 37 years later.
Jed Klampet is his best.
On COLOR TELEVISION, at that!!
I think being Audrey Hepburn's hubby in Breakfast at Tiffany's would have been my favorite role.
i remeber that show LOL OLE'!
Wow, was the time that far apart? I am amazed.
real talent, so great!
Buddy Ebson was a wonderfully, accomplished comedic singer/dancer...a truly unique talent...r
Wow!!! I grew up watching Buddy Ebsen as Barnaby Jones when he was already old. I never saw him as a young actor till today. I never knew he had this in him.
Just awesome!!
OMG!! Fantastic 🕺dancing...
Just wanted to say how much I appreciate you watching this classic video and making it one of our top classic movie videos we have posted on this channel. Friends a lot (and I mean A LOT!) has happened since we posted this. As some of you may know, The Vinyl Restoration Channel has now morphed into a professional audio post-production studio, LegacyVMP Studio. And there is so much work to do concerning our beloved and treasured legacy audio recordings. Let me explain.
Folks, are you aware that there exist many, many legacy artists that unfortunately, the digital age of music has NOT been so kind? For example, one of them is Pop/Country artist, B. J. Thomas. So my studio, LegacyVMP Studio, is on a mission to try and help do our part to change this kind of business climate within the legacy audio industry that we feel is long overdue. I think the time is right for studios like mine (and others!) to take what technology now affords us and turn it into something that can be very positive for the industry as a whole. Will you help us do that?
Here are some of our more recent restorations to help illustrate what I am talking about. I want to stress with these: 1.) the power of recent advances in audio restoration technology in particular to allow studios like mine to do what we do! 2.) I want you to hear just how far our sound has come (maturity-wise) since we began this channel in the fall of 2014. First, here is one from Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66 that you might recognize 🙂:th-cam.com/video/X7omaR4gS_A/w-d-xo.html. In addition, here is one or two (or three or four 🙂) from B. J. Thomas: (th-cam.com/video/RLjsKECP3lk/w-d-xo.html, th-cam.com/video/5yLgrE7-B-0/w-d-xo.html, th-cam.com/video/BFI8yBcX0qE/w-d-xo.html, and th-cam.com/video/ABPOzijuam4/w-d-xo.html). Thanks for listening!
We are now a professional studio, LegacyVMP Studio ( facebook.com/legacyvmpstudio) and we need your help spreading the word about what we do! Please visit our Business page and "Like/Follow Us". Thanks so much again and stay safe.
Thank you... and keep doing what you're doing! I hope you have fun and enjoy the excellent work!😃👍
@@THE-HammerMan Thanks Matthew! Appreciate the kind words and glad you enjoyed. I hope you come back often. Take care for now.
@@TheVinylRestorationProject Thank YOU!
Fine work; it must be both rewarding & fascinating.
I've thousands of vinyl in my music collection. I'm an OTR trucker in OR loading today for Dallas, TX, so I can't check on if I have 3 or 4 B.J. Thomas albums. I saw him at a small San Diego club in the 70's. He put on a really fine "shew" as Ed would say.
I limit my subscribing to 3 (all history ones) or you'd be a definite choice. I try to stay off the radar AMAP...Sorry.
Incredible piece of cinematographic history !!!
The things that get swept away with time!
My grandfather knew him when he lived in Orlando, Fla.
I watch a lot ofnold movies so have been lucky enough to see him in several things. Grew up watching him As Jed.
A clip of Buddy Ebsen actually YOUNG. Seeing is believing. 😊
He dances like he has no bones... love his style...
Great to see this ... a little different than what I grew up seeing him as Jed Clampett!
Amazing footage of Jed!
When I was a kid I loved to watch the big musicals on TV. Loved them! Thank you!
He dances like he's tripping but can't fully commit to falling.
Floyd Palmer
💀💀💀
Great observation. Take a look at THIS routine. (starting at 1:45)
th-cam.com/video/01mMV6mN1hU/w-d-xo.html
You no nothing about choreography...
Quite amazing.
Good job Buddy Ebsen, didn't know he danced and sang as well.
Wow! buddy Ebsen sure can dance.
He can sing too.
We have an incredible country to where the level of talent, joy, and freedom to live well was able to overflow, despite obstacles and hard times.
I was gonna say the name sounds the same as in the Beverly Hillbillies... reading the comments.... wow I was right... I saw the older version of Buddy... So this is him younger... Amazing... Thanks for this... Thank you Jed Clampet
Buddy was 28 years old and in his prime when he did this dance routine. Thank you for sharing this wonderful clip!
A hoofer. What an eye opener.
seeing buddy dancing always makes me giggle and smile
He was 6' 4" but, actually I think he was taller than that. He is a really good dancer. He danced on Beverley Hillbillies and it was very impressive.
In 'Broadway Melody of 1938' he danced with Judy Garland, who was under 5 ft.
@@esmeephillips5888somewhere he dances with Shirley Temple!
@@teller1290 In 'Captain January'.
WHEEEE DOGGIE!!
I didn't know he can sing and dance!
So awesome 😎, thank you very much ❤❤❤❤❤
Can’t think of a more talented performer
The first time I’ve ever seen this and I don’t really know who he is but that dancing was incredible 👌
Most eye opening. Thanks.
My mother is 92 she was 5 that day!
Beautiful moves, so fluid!
When watching him on Beverly Hillbillies I could tell he was a dancer just by the way he moved.
Incredible filming and renovation of the film... Wow
Great scene and background! Don't see that anymore
2023: WoW. This is great. Wonderful. Thank You for posting this. Best Regards
What a great thing you are doing, making sure this is available for future generations.
Thank you!
I'm 65 and I've never seen him in anything but The Beverly Hillbillies
Barnaby Jones 1970s detective
I'm 70 and first saw him as Davy Crockett's sidekick on the Walt Disney series.
yup always seem to be one of those actors that was imortaly old
You have GOT to see him in Davey Crockett.
I'm a lucky 25 that was raised in him. Most my age haven't had the honor, for it truly is an honor.
First got to know him from Beverly Hillbillies. But we found him when I was about 12 on Davey Crockett. That is now my favorite roll.
Of course I've seen him on other things but in haven't see Barnaby Jones.
He had a brief but memorable part in "Breakfast at Tiffany's."
My favorite movie role for him was Captain January with Shirley Temple. He was all legs... really great!
This is a treasure! What a wonderfully talented man.
i remember seeing a twilight zone episode with ebsen in it he also went out of character and played a thief on the andy griffith show.
He also played a con man in an episode of Hawaii 50.
He's the man.
I remember his little jig he would occasionally perform on the Beverly Hillbilly’s. Fantastic performer!
I’ve never seen him young!
Buddy Ebsen had such a long nice career in showbiz. First time I've seen this video. I know he was supposed to be in The Wizard of Oz, but was allergic to the makeup as the Tin Man, he was also in a great Twilight Zone episode, starred in The Beverly Hillbillies of course and then he had success in another TV show as Barnaby Jones.
