Wow! Excellent colorized version. It looks amazing! I love the dancing! This song reminds me of my Mom. She passed away October 7, 2021. She loved to dance and I was told she was an amazing dancer! I inherited all her records. Last night I set up my record player & was looking through her 45 record collection. She has this song on the original 45 from 1956. I was listening to it last night. I remember my Mom dancing while cleaning the house or cooking the stereo blasting music with a stack of 45’s on the turntable. Hearing this song again makes you want to get up and dance. I pictured my mom dancing having a great time! She taught me a few dance moves but I have two left feet lol. Thanks for posting this! Miss you Mom!

Very innovative dancing at that time. Nikki Brady is the cute girl with the short black hair. All the dancers are fantastic and Nikki’s dancing is so cool to watch , especially in color.

[@kimgrattage2395]

Remember my mum and dad dancing like this in the 60s, they had all Bill's records plus tons of other great favourites, Elvis, Big Bopper, Fats Domino, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly And The Crickets, Richie Valens, The Platters and many, many more. They were great memories, They married in Set 1957 when mum was 19 and dad was 24, she had to have her dad's permission as she was under 21, it was given as grandad thought the world of my dad and knew he would look after her properly, they would have been married 67 years this year had they lived.

Program ya, indoctrinate ya, dummy ya down to think your a Good American, a Confused American, an American that wouldn’t know freedom and Liberty accept the Joe Biden/Hillary/Bush’s/ & Bill’s semantics of all depends what the meaning of is,is.. They have your mind, to enslave & tax Ya, to expanded their surveillance & police State. They now have formulas and scripted narratives they can use over and over and over for endless WARs, endless vaults of thin air to barrow upon, because today’s humans are really very stupid.. Comply & obey , and will pretend you think your free… when really they know you are a molded vessel by the masters they serve, the top being a very secretive select, but the obvious is at the hands of Chinese/Russian/Milti-Nationalists who are diluting and erasing you, replacing you with the New Globalist human… a tidal wave of things are upon you, but you don’t care… because your selfish, yes you … the one who has the right to be stupid, well … will see how long it takes, but this is guaranteed? Some pore soul will suffer today, or tomorrow the greatest horrors evil designs and hands have shown they can do… your ignorant stupidity choices of today will cause the most horrible of suffering for those unlucky ones which time will time up just right….

[@NewZealandWild]

That dance was the Lindy Hop

[@NewZealandWild]

... and they're doin' pretty well for white folk.

[@kimgrattage2395]

All rock and roll dancing started with the Lindy Hop in the 1930s, check out Hellzapoppin film, will leave you reaching for your inhaler if you have one. Can see the clip on here. The Lindy Hop then was carried on into the 40s as the Jitterbug before it became known as rock and roll in the 50s. Watch clip of film mentioned, then look for a jitterbug clip from the 40s, before reaching the 50s. see the many similarities, so much energy, kids of today would never be able to keep up with what their great, and great, great grandparents danced too back then. All they do now is shuffle round their handbags in dingy discos. or stagger around in a drug induced haze at some rave in a field. If you have kids and grandkids, sit them in front of your laptop and have them watch how dancing is REALLY done.

[@kimgrattage2395]

Quite right. Food rationing during the war saw to that and was still going on up to 1954 in some places, no one had that much to eat then to get obese like today. In UK we did'nt have fast food places as far as I was told by mum and dad, USA had plenty as their food was'nt rationed to the extent ours was, as they did'nt join the war until Pearl Harbour, Britain was there from the start in 1939. Mum's then had to make ends meet by making their rations go a long way if they had a family and a husband in the services abroad. The GI's brought canned fruit, chocolate, chewing gum, corned beef and nylon stockings for the ladies. It was a hard time that lasted into the early 50s. People kept fit by going to work, walking there and back in some cases as what bit of money they earned had to be used to heat and light their homes and pay the doctor if needed, no NHS back then, cost a shilling my gran told me, some doctors would take pity on large families and try and treat all the family if possible for the shilling and probably some fruit and veg from the allotments people kept to feed their families. Many people had chickens and pigs in pens in their gardens which would be fed scraps to build them up to be slaughtered and eaten. If a family were lucky enough to own a pig or two they would share it with the whole street so they would'nt starve. No one was overweight in those days. Young men and women would flood the dance halls and jitterbug to the hits of the 40s to keep them fit, and walk home in groups when dark for safety as there were no street lights allowed to show the way, and they would be ever alert for the air raid siren. By time the 50s came the lifestyle got slightly better with some items taken off rations. Despite the war, people were optomistic and would still go to the cinema or to dance halls for their entertainment. We were a hardy bunch we Brit's, despite what was thrown at us we kept calm and carried on. The 50s came on the wave of crooners who serenaded us over the radio, before the Rock & Roll explosion burst into our lives in the mid 50s, making our grandparents enraged with the so called teenage rebellion of The Blackboard Jungle film that launched Bill Haley & The Comets into the Rock & Roll era where teenage lads ripped up cinema seats, and girls danced in the aisles. Exciting times ahead for young people who took the Jitterbug, added a few tweaks and made it their own filling every dance floor from here to USA, The scandal of Jerry Lee Lewis and his child bride coming to the UK caused scandal among the older generation, I don't think the teens of the day cared as long as they could hear his music, and what music it was. The fantastic artists and their music still lives on 74 years later, can't say this generation's garbage will live that long can you. As Bill Haley sang, Rock & Roll Is Here To Stay When The Saints Go Marching In. Could'nt have said a truer word. Many will remember all this I have posted, especially our silver surfers older than me, 66 in the New Year. Just wish I had been young then to experience it all first time round?

[@adrinathegreat3095]

It happens but remember these aren't everyday 50s teenagers, they're all professional dancers and actor's. To see what a real life teenage audience reaction is to a bill Haley performance watch footage of him in Germany 1958, lots of face pulling at the camera, thumping and head banging, followed by smashing the place up.. Film Vs reality

They had amazing energy and did'nt eat junk food, some places food was still rationed so no one ever got obese, everyone was slim that I remember back in the 60s. Mum went from wearing gingham check shirts and Capri pants with ballet pumps to mini skirts and stilleto heeled shoes in the 60s, She retained her slim figure right to the day she died. Despite having 3 kids by 1964, 4 jobs, running a home, looking after my paternal gran and running a social club in the evening at the weekends she never had chance to put any weight on, she was always dancing with dad, and when not at work, dancing while doing the housework. Women back then had stamina and endurance, there was nothing they could'nt do. Right up to before my dad died in Dec 2003 they were still dancing, that's dedication for you. Dad still had same hairstyle he had as a young man, known as the DA, ( Duck's Arse) lol on account of how it was styled at the back. look up 1950s men's hairstyles. They could out dance anyone , even in their late 60s. Can't see this generation being able to do it, far too lazy on their phones and consoles.
