GEN Z FIRST TIME REACTION to the NICHOLAS BROTHERS | 'Down Argentine way'

[@dagmar.6954]

I have seen this a few times & it always amazes me. These brothers were extremely talented. It always gets me when they do the split jumps. You would think they would hurt themselves. Glad this film clip has been preserved for the younger generation to see.

The big band sound was so good in the 40s

[@melissabrooke1146]

They are beyond spectacular!! I would have loved to study under them, I did tap for years and can really appreciate WTH they could do! ❤️❤️

[@ShadiyahOfMaryland]

The Nicholas Brothers have always been GOATS! I can never get enough of them. They are gifted entertainers extraordinaire! ❤❤❤

[@donnamikola48]

Another amazing performance by the Nicholas Brothers is "Jumping Jive - Cab Calloway and the Nicholas Brothers" Definitely worth a look-see. In it, the brothers flawlessly do the split jumps going down stairs! You have to see it to belivee it!

[@jessicalee7119]

I grew up watching movies like this ~ ~ I sure do miss them ~

[@ruthfowler4565]

Remember when everyone thought the Moonwalk was amazing?

[@howardwhite5131]

You might enjoy the movie "Tap" with Gregory Hines. Harold Nicholas, the younger of the Nicholas Brothers is in this movie.

Artists AND athletes

[@Lamm139]

The Nicholas Brothers are incredible dancers. I was a huge fan of Fred Astaire. As a girl I loved his elegance. 😊 He admired the Nicholas Brothers! I think modern Hip Hop dancers can learn a lot from these guys. 😄

[@jessicalee7119]

Tap Dancing is like another percussion instrument in the music being played. 😍

[@DolaPrice]

Yes! I love the way they play those taps!👏

[@margaretspignardo5588]

Their leg muscles are frickin' incredible!

[@sangfroid4376]

These men were consummate entertainers; they inspired Sammy Davis Jr. and Gregory Heines and many others. Their timing and athleticism was always so smooth ang graceful it made very difficult moves seem effortless. With leg muscles as strong as theirs they could crush your skull like a walnut that's how they could do the things they did. And .you thought MJ could dance .

[@annaandgary1]

The joy you find in watching them makes me so happy! You are also exposing them to other people who've never seen them so good on you!

[@finderkeeperrrs]

Yep the one brother singing is Harold and he spoke 5 languages, such talented brothers ❤

[@JeanW-d5i]

They really are amazing! And so fast, if you don’t concentrate you can miss some of those moves. How did they even remember such long routines? Absolutely brilliant 💚💚💚

[@leehallam9365]

That was great, I hadn't seen that one before.

[@tapduff]

The best of the best!!

[@SusanDion-ii5pc]

Fabulous performance ❤

[@KCmidwest-wm9jd]

I don't think it's their voices. Dubbed in Spanish. Lyricists are Mack Gordon and Al Dublin. Original songs are in English in the 1940 film. The brothers did sing (their voices) in the American release. Singing wasn't their strength, passable. Nothing could eclipse their dancing talents. They are among my favorites.

[@finderkeeperrrs]

It's their voice, the youngest one Harold is singing. He knew 5 languages. So that's definitely them singing

[@KCmidwest-wm9jd]

@@finderkeeperrrs Thanks! Good to know!

[@finderkeeperrrs]

@@KCmidwest-wm9jd of course! You're welcome 👍🏽☺️

[@kittymervine6115]

if this was WWII, a lot of movies were set in South America, or had that music, as it took minds off the war.

[@PMB827]

Please react to their dance to “Chattanooga Choo Choo”! It’s with actress and singer Dorothy Dandridge who the shorter brother, Harold was married to

[@KC-gy5xw]

Check out Berry Brothers - even more incredible!! And the dancers from Hellzapoppin - dayum!!

Salut de France "Clovis, King of the francks","Louis lX, the crusader king" and "Joan of Arc", savior of kingdom of France" from thecajun cutthroat channel. With these three videos, you will see the greatness of the France. It's good Napoleon but before him, there was even bigger.

[@johnnehrich9601]

These guys were amazing but there is something sad behind this. At the time, a single Black performer could not do a solo because that might make them a star. These brothers were ideally suited to fill all the slots because they were obviously a duo.

[@daphne0123]

Please do James Brown next, because I can't get over you thinking that Prince used Michael Jackson's moves. Even here, though, you can recognize some of those same moves

[@first-dooblette6911]

if you want to know how France imbued its culture and even its language into modern England, react to "French Kings of England" from thecajun cutthroat channel. And yes, the plantaganet was a French lineage. Alienor of Aquitaine and Henri 2 was French, but I guess you knew that

[@Buds1own]

GREAT REACTION!!! :) AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!! ♥♥♥ 1 Peter 4:10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.

[@pbell44]

I have a suggestion of a song I think you’ll really like. Post Modern Jukebox featuring Hailey Reinhart performing Creep

[@karengarrow5579]

It’s not fake you aren’t used to proper talent so don’t make stupid comments about things you don’t know about

[@ruthfowler4565]

Not surprised that your name is karen. So rude.

[@lindadeters8685]

Karen much?

[@carolyngilbert5121]

lol...not fake....we were much more flexible.no one was staying on the couch/sofa watching TV and playing video games all day. everything we did involved some form of exercise. Peace

[@uptownjay]

WE??? lol! No one of any time was ever as limber or athletic as these geniuses. It diminishes their excellence to suggest that “we” were as fit as they! No. We. Were. Not.
