The dancing Nicholas Brothers and Cab Calloway in the 1943 movie Stormy weather,with a dance scene many have called the greatest on screen!

#dancevideo
What gets easily lost in this video is how great the band is! They are tight!
That was then...this is now...Sad...
They did the dance in one shot. They didn’t do a retake. They said play the music, we got it. Our grandparents had to be talented back in this days.
They did each half in one shot, but there are two different sets used.
The Nicholas Brothers continued dancing until their seventies. Nothing fazed them.
How many lifetimes would you need to do this today? My glutes hurt just watching this. The Brothers often come up from the splits not using their hands. I can’t even sit on my carpet without pain. Cab + Nicholas Brothers = pure showmanship & TALENT. Astonishing.
Those Nicholas Brothers were elite athletes. Unbelievably talented flexibility and jumping ability.
One thing I marvel at every time I watch this is that they don't seem to be breathing hard at all - like, they're dancing & jumping around like they were strolling through the park. No sense of exertion at all.
World-class athletes as well as best tap dancers ever.
Everything you said about Cab Calloway was spot spot on. Absolutely so much presence. Yum.
Unfortunately you do not want to have lived then. Cab Callaway and the Nicholas Brothers had to enter the studios every day thru the back door. Criminal.
Cab Calloway is great. And he is out done in this!
Harri. You just watched some of the greatest geniuses in entertainment history. Cab was a master bandleader and king of Scat. The Nicolas Brothers were acclaimed as the greatest tap dancers of all time. Baryshnikov called them the most amazing dancers he had ever seen. That Jumpin Jive scene was filmed in one take and unrehearsed as confirmed by Nic Castle. Astaire himself remarked that it was the greatest movie sequence he had ever seen. Other dancers have remarked that if ever their biography were filmed, the numbers would be impossible to recreate and would have to be done by CGI. The brothers later taught dance and their students became some of the most noteworthy modern entertainers, including Michael Jackson and Debbie Allen. Do yourself an immense favor and watch another one of their dance sequences as part of the amazing Glenn Miller band's interpretation of "I've Got a Gal in Kalamazoo" from the 1942 movie "Orchestra Wives". It features Miller's Orchestra, the fantastic Tex Beneke backed by Marion Hutton and the Modernaires and ending with the Nicolas Brothers. Sublime!!
Don't forget Dorothy Dandridge. She was a knock out as well in Sun Valley Serenade with the Nicholas Brothers with Chattanooga Choo Choo.
@@webbtrekker534 She was married to Harold for quite a few years. It ended rather acrimoniously.
*Maybe* they did it in one take, but the number of angles and edits suggest that's probably not the case. The idea that it was done in one take and unrehearsed is impossible. It's already an astounding display of talent without the additional god-level tales added on decades later.
I believe Cab was the very last Apprentice of scat that made his way up to Master. He learnt from only the best. I am not sure of anyone that still sings scat professionally anymore, although I can think of a couple modern people with the ability
not cool to delete a comment.
Great dancing &. Musicians back in the. 40s. &. 50s👍👍🤩🤩
This gentleman's eloquent description is my favorite of them all.
My mother was a chorus Ine tap dancer. She me my dad at one of the great ballrooms. They married the day before Pearl Harbor was bombed. They never had a honeymoon.
As a child, I can remember Mom tap dancing thru the house while listening to her favorite old records. Cooking, cleaning, singing and all the while, keeping those happy feet tapping along.
The big bands transcended all racial barriers. Music was great, precise and the voice of the soul. The talent was pure. No computers, no CGI, no profanity, no politically correct hogwash, just folks having a good time.
It's been colorized here. The original was in black-and-white, which looked better because it showed off the shadow contrasts of the performers against the white walls.
Definitely. This color version kinda sucks cuz it’s pretty sloppy and lots of frames are off and that’s super distracting.
I love Cab in THE BLUES BROTHERS... MInnie the Moocher!
Fayard and Harold Nicholas are the best at what they do
Luv Cab's skat and enthusiasm. Then we added Nicholas brother. I strained something watching this. ❤️
An amazing performance by all. Elegant, captivating. and entertaining.
The Nicholas Brothers- there are no words! -
Hari , your reaction- priceless.
I’m an American who thought he new music history I was 61 years old before I saw this for the first time. I guarantee you 99.9% of Americans have not seen this performance. It is true artistry that is never shown or taught in school. Why? Historically, only negative stereotypes of African American culture are emphasized.
This performance, the music and dance is beautiful art.
That dance couldn't be replicated without cgi. Facts!!
I enjoyed your reaction and yes Cab Calloway had some very graceful moves too.
I love this old stuff!
It’s amazing they did it without rehearsal ❤️
It was the Age of Jazz, the Age of Art Deco, the Age of Elegance. We won't see it again.
Cab was genius. Pure class.
The taller one get something from arthritis when he got older and the shorter one did most of the energetic work when they danced. But thank you so much Harry for bringing us death incredible performers it was great seeing them again and I hope you can get it out to more and more people and show them what it was like. Thank you again.
Talent-wise.......they ain't hidin' nuthin' !
One take, band, Cab & The Immortal Nicholas Brothers.
Now this is what we call talent!! Oh my. I've seen this before but still, so damn impressive. I'd like to see someone try this today.
Not possible, no talent like this anymore.
Brother, if you ever get the chance to watch this whole movie, don't hesitate. Some fantastic performances from Lena Horne, Bill 'Bojangles' Robinson, Cab Calloway and the Nicholas Brothers. Even after almost 80 years, it still stands out as a testament to how truly talented these performers really were. The story isn't much to speak of, but who cares with such incredible music and dancing? Lena Horne's gorgeous voice singing the title song is a definite must hear. Do yourself a favour, though, Harri. Watch it in it's true glorious black and white. It was filmed and lit that way and colourisation takes away from the mood.
Peace, Brother. Take care and stay safe
The best! I feel at home in his times. Wish I had been born in that Era too.
And they did it in one take!! And one of the Nicholas brothers was the coach in the movie five heartbeats
The BEST!! Fayard Nicholas had hip replacement when he got older.
I am impressed with the Sax players calm an professionalism. They just leaned left or right to allow the Brothers to do their routine. All 4 were great performers.
Harri, what a pleasure it was to hear your honest, candid response. You, sir, are a refreshing change to the profanity-laced comments made by others.
Every time I see this I am in pain...........
I have always been a great fan of the Nicholas Brothers.
Have seen this performance many times, and am always full of amazement.
Fred Astaire himself said this was the greatest dance routine ever filmed. Pure class
Hi Mr. Harri, It was great.. Hines, Hines & Dad was a pretty good brothers dancing act.. It is a good thing that there
Black couples in the audience when he asked them to get up and dance.. ♠W.G.
It was on the FIRST TAKE. Cab was born to do what he did.
I’ve watched this video clip a hundred times. This the first time I’ve seen the colorized version. I think I prefer the original. What an amazing talent each of these men were.
I’m happy Harry that you’re getting a peek of what civilization looks like--
FABULOUS!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Loved the splits...and consummate dancers that they were they knew how to do it without damage!!! What fascinated me was the way they came out of the splits. Like someone was pulling a string somewhere above their heads. So smooth. Like Fred Astaire, I'm certain they rehearsed and did it over and over, again and again, until they knew it couldn't get better. That performance is what you get when you combine brilliance and the strongest work ethic and desire to excel. Sadly missing these days.
Before the last brother died, he danced on a televised show without the splits. He had been asked why he didn't do them and said "Because it hurts". But his dancing even without them was great -- even in old age.
The Nicholas Brothers were the BEST.
Hari...I seen you we're wrapped in this one but this was when times real and classy my friend.If you look it up they say it was a one time take dance scene.This was unreal dance,music and entertainment.Thanks and keep it up my friend.R.D.W.! !!
They did that scene in 1 - ONE take.😮
Only one take per this routine
Fred Astaire said this was the best routine ever choreographed and put to film.
Cant compare dancers, but they are good, their athleticism is amazing
Cab had the best strut ever!
My goodness…..I am in my fifties. Grandmother died twenty years ago. She was in her eighties. She loved the big bands, Glenn Miller and she loved Cab. Grandmother was white as snow and that was before the civil rights. She never thought about their or her color. My grandfather took her to see him and the band as a surprise. He did not have much money. He said, rosemary laughed the entire concert. Smile from ear to ear and cried going home because she felt blessed. She got to shake Cabs hand. For me to watch this now? Amazing. What a show
The stamina and athleticism of the Nicholas Brothers is amazing. Jumping up on a table, doing the splits is impressive but even more impressive is coming back up from the splits with no hands. Wow!
It amazes me the way they get back up on their feet after doing a split, and how fast they could do it.
Yep, leg muscles and balance to an amazing degree!
That was no joke! I think that the difficulty of that part alone is lost on a lot of reviewers. They focus mostly on the step scene, which is certainly understandable, but standing up with no hands after doing a split is nothing to scoff at either.
Nicholas Brothers.
Say no more.
Won’t find finer or classier dancers anywhere.
Top shelf and then some.
Cab Calloway… what an entertainer.
How do you go wrong with a ticket to this show???!
They must have had brass b---, to do those stairs, then get up like nothing happened and keep dancing.
You can watch the whole movie on TH-cam. It's definitely worth watching...
What is amazing is this was filmed 81 years ago in 1943!
You're right about the extensive rehearsals. Even the saxophone player rehearsed getting jumped over. He was aware of the foot but he was confident that Harold Nicholas would clear him, so he just leaned the way they rehearsed. Absolutely nothing was left to chance. This is what your grandparents listened to and danced to in the clubs.
No rehearsal ..they were that in sync xx And,as Gerald says, one take ..fabulous!
If you watch their splits carefully, you will notice that they use their hands to keep from hurting themselves. The last part of them coming down the stairs shows this very clearly.
This was released in 1943. Loooong before my time and I love it.
A lot of legends are shown in one movie. It shows what you can do if you have extremely talented people who work hard and are persistent.
Truly one of my favorite performances ever. I never tire of watching and listening to it. I found the comment you made about wishing you had been born in that era interesting. I can see the appeal of the music and cultural attractions. But living in that time as a POC? No thanks!
Man alive!!! Those two are unbelievable dancing machines. I've never seen anything to top that!!!!!!
Nothing today even comes close to this unedited, one take, masterpiece!
Yes it is fenomenal!!!!!!!
I’ve watched this clip a lot. My mother got me to watch them. Fayard and Harold. They were self taught.
The Hines Brothers were another great pair of tap dancers
My uncle used to deliver milk to Cab Calloway's house on his milk route. And since it was early in the morning Calloway would always invite him in for coffee and they became best friends. One other thing, go back and watch it again and pay attention to the camera work. Any one of those jumps over the band could have resulted in a broken leg or someone's brass horn mashed flatter than a pancake. If they did that routine these days, they'd be wearing helmets!
Their Will NEVER EVER
Be Any Other Dancers
As Great As These
Two Brothers👏👏👍🇺🇸
You may be right. But wouldn't it be great if someone came along who was even better? Or at least just as good?
They did this in ONE TAKE !!!!!!!!
Incredible, Brilliant, Fantastic and Superb Oh and did I say they were good?
The old Hollywood movie musicals were incredible. Cab Calloway and The Nicholas Brothers. Cab Calloway is known for his song Minnie the Moocher. There were places that you would go to dinner and they had bands and singers that played. You ate dinner and stayed had drinks and watched the show and danced. We had one of these clubs when I was growing up and would go with my parents and drink Shirley Temples and dance. It was a fun evening. It closed in the early 70s. I wish this type of club was still around.
Yes Cab Callaway can dance and he can sing. Not to mention he was the band leader of one of the best known big bands of the era.
There actually was one edit when they moved from one staircase to the other You can see the cut.
I do not mean, in any way, to take anything away from such a magnificent performance.
They were some of the best entertainers in the world ( the best) but they had to go through Jim Crow.
I'm so glad that you and me can visit the Greats anytime we want, but I would not want to born during this time, I wouldn't of survived.
Cab was singing "scat" a vocalization of the sounds of musical instruments. Popular in 30's and 40's jazz.
You just don't see talent, and entertainment like this! Ther class, dedication, and talent speaks for itself!!! I'm talking about Cab, Fayard, and Harold. They did this after one rehearsal!!! They say Cab started "Swag". wowzer!!
Ah, now we're talking! One of my favorite movies, and probably best sequences.
Try the chamber brothers the time has come it's great rock and soul combination way ahead of its time I know you love great music and you would love this
They did that dance in one take.
I was around 10 or younger when I first watched this movie with my Dad.
80 years ago!!! I would love to see this today, but, unfortunately, tap dancing has been lost since Gregory Hines and Barishnikov were in that movie together (can't recall the name) back in the 70;s, I think.
That was fabulous! Energy as Elegance!
I love to watch people react to this. It's still amazing, even the tenth time you've seen it.
"Makes you feel nine feet tall when you're four foot five".
4+5 = 9. Great lyric.
The great Fred Astair said the Nicholas Brothers were the best dancers in the world. This is a phenomenal experience. Thank you Harri!
And Gene Kelly. He was the only dancer who could dance with the Brothers and keep up. Watch the "Be a Clown' sequence from 'the Pirate'. Kelly held enough clout at MGM to integrate that movie as much as was done including that dance # with the Nicholas Brothers. It was so integral that it wasn't possible to cut it for Southern audiences in the movie houses.
@@johnj2763 lies. the brothers slowed down to let gene stay up with them
And Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, who was the star of this movie with Lena Horne, is acknowledged as the G.O.A. T. dancer.
Thank you very much for your reaction and your thoughts. I love your videos.
I was born 10 years later.😢
You have to react to the Will Maston trio . Featuring a child dancer named Sammy Davis Jr
bingo
Watch Sammy Davis' Kennedy Center Honors tribute. The Nicholas Brothers were joined by Chuck Green, Jimmy Slyde and Sandman Sims in the tribute. 5 of the greatest tap dancers honoring the great Davis.
I think Cab Calloway is the father of Rock n Roll
Bravo!!!!!
Bill "Bojangles" Robinson and Lena Horne were in the movie as well.
Also well worth checking out is the Lindy Hop scene from "Hellzapoppin" (1941).
Harri, the younger brother, the one who's hair moved , was Dorothy Dandridge's husband and was in the movie Taps with Sammie Davis and Gregory Hines. BTW there was no rehearsal. You mentioned the musician trying to move out of the way, he had no idea this was to happen. One take and now it's history.
Black American talent...THERE IS NOTHING ELSE LIKE IT
Nicholas Brothers - Fred Astaire declared them "the best ever". He knew. Everyone knew.
There are few performers with the talent level of Cab Calloway to ever grace a stage. You should watch Blues Brothers and see him and many other rhythm and blues legends toward the end of their careers. It’s an all time great movie.
