Wonderful clip!! This was from the 27th Annual Grammy Awards Show in 1985. I am a lifelong Tina Turner fan and my 14 year old self recorded that broadcast of the Grammy's to catch Tina winning. In the broadcast there was this tribute to Leonard Bernstein and I watched this clip over and over. So happy to see it again after all these years. Thank you!

Fast-paced and shorter version of 'America' and still able to pull it through with Debbie Allen leading the magnificent choreography.

wow I had not idea this performance ever happened. Thanks for sharing.

Nia was pioneer for big stars like Bruno Mars and Black Pink...she was a trail blazer for millions if not billions of fans.

Wow

[@deborahearle4151]

They were really pressed for time because they had to do this number so quickly. I've seen the cast with Debbie Allen perform this number on the TodayShow in 1980. It was a more relaxed performance.

That's Emily's mom! :O

[@normancarter5419]

That just had to kill Nia inside to not be able to dance in that segment.

[@PURPLeKIID]
