Wonderful

Superb work man,, I love this film and never seen it looking so good...well done and thanks. This is how it was meant to be seen.

Came close to a gig like this in Edm. AB. Jazz club ; Yardbird Suite. Jay McShan and Kansas City shouter Big Miller.

Thank God he became an actor... I've always loved him as an actor. He's nothing special singing. I heard his name growing up and figured he must be something extraordinary... He's okay. I'm guessing because scat was different and new enough at the time, it was a bit of a sensation. But I was expecting something more than this. She on the other hand, had a wonderful voice. First time hearing her, or her name. Instant fan. Good watch.

I can't get enough of this. Love them both.

Dorothy danridge husband and child father… also played in 5 heartbeats Seems incredible why he leave his child behind

Fantastic!

Absolutely amazing 👏 🤩 😍 ❤️

We went from that to booty shaking and no talent.

“Baby, I was born ballin’, and I’m gonna ball the rest of my life!” 😂😂😂😂

I grew up watching this. (90's south american kid) ❤

How old is she here? 90 or so?

Thanks for this.. I was her NY and fell sooo I love with her!

The Four Dreamers with the big bow ties! (l-r: Carl Jones, James Shaw, Clifford Holland, General White)

Im gonna start doing this when I want the yt folks to vacate the room. Take tips from brother here

errr ... white people do what? Isn't that a kind of a racist remark or ... oh, yeah! Black people can't be racist because .... they ain't white, right? 🤐 PS: I'm no doctor but the hearth doesn't beat on 2 and 4, it beats and that's it!

In very loving memory of Mrs. Marie Bryant (1917 - 1978 R.I.P. Gone but NOT forgotten).

Look at how we've declined 😢

:O

I clap on five and then stare ominously for four beats

Great ! Vic Dickenson is on trombone

Title this or give credit!! I believe this is the LEGENDARY Nicholas brothers with Cal Calloway ! Circa 1930-1950’s GOATS

Im doing Big Joe Turner for a project.

I assumed clapping on 2 and 4 was a result of the jim crow culture. The white folk clapped on 1 and 3 so the coloured folk had to clap on 2 and 4.

What the hell is wrong with those two old white guys? 😂😂😂

MEATTTTTT

ermWHAT THE SIGMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

erm WHAT THE SIGMA

Love Scatman's clothes. Quite the getup.

What a racist asshole

stereotypical clown act, unfortunately

a great, great lady

Year??????

Wright is an adjective racist. Celebrate the differences, don't divide with them.

I’m sorry but this is actually just not true. Snare has been played on the 2 and 4 for forever and the only people I’ve seen clap on 1 and 3 are people who just don’t do music

Spectacular!

I love Alberta!

cmon, incredible

If you ever need a pick me up Alberta hunter can always lift you up

Teach Pastor!!!!

That’s so crazy that it’s true. I’m black and I automatically thought 2&4. It’s smoother and gives it flavor. Proud to be black ✊🏾✊🏾

Thank you Andy...

1:36 ok now that's creepy how the way he looks at me

Wow. Just wow. Stunning. Amazing.

Scatman was an amazing and unique entertainer.

love it

I heard this track back in 1984 around the time she made her come back. It still sounds fresh, 40 years later.

i love that they had the white dudes upset and left! xD

I don't think white americans would clap on 1 and 3. I'm not an American myself, but I'd say that music based on African-American rhythm patterns has become so widespread that unless you play classical, you will automatically learn to clap on 2 and 4. In Europe, the situation is quite different, as folk music of many nations uses the 1 and 3 pattern.

The lack of tap sounds, the audience staring blankly, and the funeral sounding music are deeply unsettling, lmao.
