This is FAR more entertaining than those boring dances seen on Dancing With the Stars.

Who is the tall pretty brunette with the curly hair?

Three of the guys that were the best in this particular group were Roland Dupree,

Tommy Rall & Bob Scheerer - all three went on to have very successful careers as well.

Interesting how Donald O'Connor is kinda pushed to the back here (tho Peggy Ryan gets a moment to shine), and really at that point (as he said himself many times) he was not the strongest dancer of the lot by a long shot. But he worked his butt off and changed that pretty quick in the next year or two...

Thanks for the clip!

This clip is from "Private Buckaroo" (1942) with Dick Foran, the Andrews Sisters, Joe E Lewis, Shemp Howard and the Harry James Orchestra.

That old fashioned music and dance was

new and exciting 6 decades ago.

Just like rock and roll was new when I was

a teenager.

Tx 4 the historic post.
