I had seen this clip several times before I noticed an amazing thing: if you pay close attention, you'll see that it was shot mostly in long takes--there are actually very few cuts. Which means that these guys didn't dance for a few minutes, then take a rest, then dance for a few more minutes, then take a rest, etc., then it was edited afterwards to make it look as seamless as it was, which is often what happens in movie musicals. Not with these guys, though. It's not inconceivable that there could have been two or more cameras shooting this routine, so it's possible that, as unbelievable as it may sound, they actually could have done this routine in one long take, and the cuts that you do see were just different angles taken from different cameras. That's sure what it looks like. Mind-blowing . . .

This performance came from the 1943 movie "Stormy Weather" starring Lena Horne and Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. The Big Band is Cab Calloway and His Cotton Club Orchestra and the song is "Jumpin Jive." The Nicholas Brothers' career spanned 60 years and they are widely acknowledged to be among the best dancers of all time. Fred Astaire reportedly told the brothers that the dance number in this clip was the greatest movie musical sequence he had ever seen. A 1992 documentary about the Nicholas Brothers is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGiuZmBvrch-rck

The Nicholas Brothers in my humble opinion were the best dancers of that era. Maybe best ever. I love this movie. My Grandmother saw Bill Bojangles Robinson in Portsmouth, VA in the 30s. She said 2 white men carried him on their shoulders to the stage. ( IT was at a baseball stadium) So his shoes would not get dirty. Imagine white men carrying a black man in the South in the 30s. That is how much respect he was given.

I met Fayard Nicholas, a sweet, kind man, at an appearance shortly before his death, and as I gushed about one of their numbers, he broke out a huge smile, and laughed like a little kid. I realized as much as he loved dance, he obviously loved knowing his work was still being loved by new generations. Your reactions are exactly what we all feel as we watch in awe. I imagine Fayard looking down, seeing this, and being thrilled again at blowing the minds of another generation.

Ah! So you finally discovered “The Nicholas Brothers”...? 👍🏻😀👍🏻 BRILLIANT! Along with Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly, the Nicholas Brothers inspired me to take up tap-dancing. In the 1980s when all my friends were watching glam-rock etc., I was studying this stuff by watching all the old musicals... tap-dancing, Lindy Hop etc. The Nicholas Brothers (Fayard and Harold) appeared doing similar routines to this one in many 1940s musicals. Apparently they were really nice guys as well as excellent tap dancers. Check out their routine in “Sun Valley Serenade” in which they sing and tap-dance to “Chattanooga Choo-Choo”... BRILLIANT! You should also check out Whitey’s Lindy Hoppers in the 1942 musical “Hellzapoppin”.

They started dancing as children in the 1930s. This is from the 1942 movie, Stormy Weather. This dance was done in one take, no editing, done all the way through the first time. The director yelled, "Cut and print!" This is what you have. They still danced way into their senior years. Look them up on KZbin!

When I was younger, they showed movies on tv with fantastic entertainers like the Nicholas brothers every Friday night and weekends. It's a shame that for the past few decades, a whole generation has been deprived of the richness that made us all thrill and smile back then. The Nicholas brothers were around 20 years before I was even born but they are still part of my fondest memories. Sometimes I think it was an orchestrated program to remove these movies with so many iconic performers from general viewing and I believe we are poorer for it. I'll stand corrected if I'm wrong.

To a degree you're not. Back in the '30s and '40s, many studios would cut black performers out of musicals they made, because many theaters in the South would not show the films if there were blacks in them, especially if they were shown as anything other than maids, field hands, "mammies", etc.

When I saw "Nicholas Brothers," I HAD to see your reaction. Btw, I love your channel. I like that I get to see your reaction without you pausing to interject commentary. It's awesome. Now you need to check out Shirley Temple and Mr. Bojangles. Her youngest I think she is 4, and at her oldest I think she was 9 dancing with him.

You had the same reaction I did the first time I saw them. Just mind-boggling. At first I thought, "This has o be animation, because no human being could possibly do this". These guys are, for lack of a better word, superhuman---these "Marvel" characters in the movies can't hold a candle to them. Fortunately, there are a good number of clips of their mind-blowing routines out there. If you think this one was incredible--and it was--wait until you see the others. There has never been another act like them.

I'm 62, so I grew up watching talented dancers in films, but this is my first time seeing the Nicholas Brothers. They were awesome! Also, I'm a relatively new subscriber to your channel and I'm enjoying your videos! This one especially made me smile. 😊 A nice break from doing my taxes. Keep up the great work! 😇

That was so wild. When you posted it, I really didn't think I would care for it. I was wrong! Watching their Shadows dance and all those splits off the stairs. Oh my God, this was really cool!

They were just incredible, fabulous beyond anything. Actors and singers too. I can't watch where they do all the splits. I just get the feeling the studio wanted more and more dangerous stunts with no protections from a union. These guys were sooooooo fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The brothers had enormous strength, needed it to make it looks effortless, and managed strict choreography without it EVER becoming stiff, it feels 'free' and felt and enjoyed. Wonderful performances from masters of the old craft.

Check out "I Got A Girl In Kalamazoo" and "Chattanooga Choo-Choo." which features Dorothy Dandridge. Also, I think you're able to enjoy the Brothers because of the long takes and being filmed head to toe. There's something to be said for fast edits and close-ups, but I this way of filming dance really conveys their talents and spirit.

Girl, I was watching this clip the day before yesterday! I LOVE the Nicholas Brothers! I'd love to see a biopic of them but I don't think there's a dancer alive that could do what they did.

That kicked ass. As a drummer, I love listening to tap. With two guys pulling off the foot phrasing together, it's so much more impressive.

Keep watching as much of the older movies as possible. The Nicholas Brothers, and all tap dancers inspired me to take tap dancing in college for P.E. It was more fun than volleyball, y'all.
