Gene Kelly & Donald O'Connor dance medley 1959

Donald O'Connor is undoubtedly on of the most underrated performers ever! Gene Kelly is a genius!

I love these two guys. Donald O'Connor has such a warm personality and deserved everything and so much more.

[@disneyanimegirl1100]

I know right Donald is one of the people deserved to live forever as a legend like other singers ( John Lennon, Freddie Mercury etc) but sadly after his death in 2007 he was forgotten by my generation same with Gene. Now if you were to ask me my personal favorite of the two I would totally say Donald O' Connor. I love his warm and caring nature, his smile is so genuine, his dancing is remarkable, his comedy is so hilarious, and his singing is some of the best I have ever heard. I just watched him in Out To Sea, when he was a lot older and he could still dance just as good as he could in Singing In The Rain and in others. He was still funny especially all of his expressions. He does not have a ton of lines but he has some awesome dancing moments considering how old he was getting for me anyway he will be my dancing star.

O'Connor was about 13 years younger than Kelly, and here it shows, but Kelly still had it. They were both wonderful. And I agree with everyone who says that O'Connor was an amazing talent who never really got the credit he deserved. He was still in his prime when Hollywood musicals went out of fashion, which is a pity.

Same here. I watched "Call Me Madam" two years ago on KZbin and fell in love. Then I went back and watched everything I could from the time he was a child, "Men with Wings," "Sing You Sinners" (This movie with Bing Crosby and Fred MacMurray is a must-see!), "Sons of the Legion" (His acting skills in this are incredible.), and so on. He was precious in "Unmarried" and charming in his movies with Peggy Ryan and Gloria Jean. He's absolutely adorable in "Are You With It?" and "Feudin', Fussin', and a-Fightin'."

Donald and Gene were some of the best performers to ever be on screen .one thing I've noticed in the comments is no one has said anything about how incredibly fit they both had to be. dancing like that looks easy but you need incredible cardio endurance to keep moving that long.

What a superb talent Donald O'Connor was, so so underrated by the industry he loved. He was every bit as talented as Gene Kelly. Perhaps even more so. Donald could do everything, not to mention the fact that he was also a brilliant comedian too. To be honest with you I find when I'm watching these two on the screen together, my eyes are rivetted on Donald not Gene. Gene was great, but there was something about Donald O'Connor. Maybe his rather sweet and endearing personality came through in addition to his enormous talent. He should have been a major mega star instead of being cast in so many supporting roles all the time. Donald also had one of the most beautiful singing voices I have ever heard. I have never seen this clip before, thank you so much for it.
