omg, there is nothing better than this

[@leoleone166]

That's why I love America... Greetings from Georgia (a country in Caucasus)

[@mustafajackson9430]

Love my people, the incredible NICHOLAS BROTHERS and ever stunning DOROTHY DANDRIDGE showing us all how it's done during Hollywood's Golden Age.

[@mariannesouza8326]

I love your people, too! I can’t watch this enough! My father was a piano 🎹 player; they called him Duke. We grew up listening to the big bands every weekend. Nat ‘King’ Cole and Lena Horne were among my parents’ favorites. 🎶 🖤🤍😀

[@nicklh186]

Yes. It sometimes brings a (happy) tear to my eye when I watch people like the Nicholas brothers, Dorothy Dandridge, Thelonious Monk, Sammy Davis, The Temptations, Nat King Cole, Dizzy Gillespie... you get the idea. Oh how I love the performing arts.

[@reic0002]

your people? so, nothing to do with me then. What gives you the right to claim something as yours???

[@reic0002]

for me, I love talent, of all hues. That's it. I also hate woke pseudo statements.

[@Kinsale1333]

I really appreciate your sentiment here. Without black people and their amazing music and culture America would be an even more miserable and unhappy place than it is now. One of the most terrible ironies of the history of black music is how often the great black musicians were terribly abused during their lifetimes (e.g., Lester Young and Bud Powell) yet after their deaths they suddenly become celebrated as "great artists." But we never appreciated them when they were alive! The situation, I think, is better now but historically the lives of many of the best musicians were just full of grief. 😢

[@muffycrosswire]

the nicholas brothers talent scares me....

[@tinadavies4195]

So I work with dementia service users,and one of the lady's "Margaret "celebrated her 💯th birthday. Now I'm one of the older carers there so I'm familiar with all the older songs,so I just started to sing this and Margaret started to sing along ,oooh my she sang it word to word,beginning to end,now let me tell you all the time I've worked in care this has just melted my heart, £8.91 shocking for the amount of care we do,but this day I would have worked for nothing,just seeing her happy,smiling and singing.👏👏👏👏👏👏 I applaud you Margaret. And a letter off the Queen. Oh and Margaret's nickname is Queenie.

[@nicklh186]

Bless her.

[@montimagnolia580]

That little shoulder shake she does- Wonderful !

[@kirpalite]

And the hips!

[@AnointedCrys313]

She's got that cutest wiggle when she's dancing. Love the diva, Miss Dorothy Dandridge!!!

[@seansartor]

Those Brothers were the BEST, Dorothy Dandridge was one of God’s gift & Glenn Miller’s Big Band always set the bar high

[@thomasryan5736]

Best flick on KZbin.

[@katyarnold-ji8sv]

The Nicholas brothers tap dancinging was phenomenal!! When theses brothers were young the at there best. The Nicholas brother invented breakdancing of the 1980's. Love! watching the Nicholas Brothers.

[@johnallen2771]

Man, if you can't get down with that bass line and those drum rim shots there's something wrong with your mojo. Imagine all this great music going on in the middle of WWII! People were invigorated by the Big Band sound and we grew it right here in the good old USA. It's great to see Miss Dandridge here, a great star.

[@JohnDonovanProductions]

The song awarded the first gold record in history!

[@egreendc]

I have been DD's biggest fan since I first saw this 20+ years ago

[@poppashots994]

I love how the band is getting in to it.

[@JaimeGarcia-sg9xj]

The best tradition of Chatanooga Choo Choo EVER!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@edgardodantegirotti]

Wonderful, Glenn Miller, Dorothy Dandridge and Nicholas Brothers outstanding performance. Thanks.

[@anthonyparr4186]

Love this clip.....have just found out that Dorothy was married to one of these brothers!! Lovely story....and lots of talent they had!!.

[@susankennedy5739]

Married to Harold Nicholas and a very sad story...

[@jamesellsworth9673]

The Miller Orchestra comes up with a fresh and fitting arrangement of CHATTANOOGA CHOO CHOO for this film clip. The Nicolas Brothers are amazing, and too little-known today. Dorothy Dandridge is talented, young and lovely here.

[@samtrak1204]

She was superb dancer.

[@shorelineboy]

[@mkassis713]

[@IronChuck]

Serious class for National Train Day! (Also a great way to start nearly any day.)

[@gsmith4295]

This was just awesome!

[@wendellcoleman1137]

"Pardon me Roy! Is that the cat that chewed your new shoes?"

[@billlm8017]

Absolutely amazing tremendous talent unequaled

[@ThePapasmurf1946]

They may be the most agile humans ever caught on film. What they do seems impossible. I love watching and being amazed.

[@rkmugen]

@@januquariaspace683 Speaking of Jackie Wilson, I've been a Tony Bennett fan since I was a little kid... and even then, I was mimicking his rendition of "Rags to Riches" after my folks first bought a CD that had quite a number of his hits (CDs just hit the market), so that tells you how old I might be (i won't confirm or deny anything!). But years.... decades... later, when I played a little PC game called "Mafia 2", it came bundled with quite a large collection of songs from the 1940's and 1950's.... that's when I was introduced to Jackie Wilson's performance of that same song....... and get this: it totally blows Tony Bennett's version out of the water! Have a listen! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rojCgZ5rh5pmr5I

[@ThePeterWilliam]

Thanks for this, love the boys...delighted me beyond words...yet again.

[@Koni2947]

[@danielbrisbon-lv4sh]

I wonder if those trombonists could handle the Jonny Quest theme which is supposed to be one of the most difficult ever written for trombones.

[@samuelli-a-sam]

This is music everyone

[@ROBERTRIVERification]

The Nicholas brothers were truly the best

[@mahmoudibnemir8704]

Which one of the two brothers left the lady stranded when she was in labour?

[@soulsnatcher4452]

Harold Nicholas. Their daughter Harolyn was born brain dead and remained in hospitals all of her life. He eventually walked out on Dorothy & the daughter when she was a little girl

[@seikoukoon5871]

Have you ever listened to Yoko Maeno Maeno's「Chattanooga Choo Choo」on You Tube?

[@clasicradiolover]

She was a pretty little lady
