Nice Work If You Can Get It - A Damsel In Distress (1937)

[MrColinhunter13]

He is the fucken' boy!

Aye, fucken'... aye.

[velenjak4ever]

What amazing sense of rhythm and ability to keep time. He had perfect pulse!

[sir1junior]

This man is a pimp!

[genericname1234]

Possibly the earliest recorded instance of the "one take".

[TheYaHead]

Damn, he must be getting girls

[hannibalPP]

my favorite part is from 3:08

[McNeegus]

Niigga be in HD

[themilkguruu]

[webquake]

No cut.

[tdecarne]

If Justin Bieber could do this, I may consider liking him.

[velenjak4ever]

@tdecarne Come on everybody! Thumbs up for tdecarne´s comment!

[opaa1]

This man invented rock n roll!

[SubmergedRecords]

Okay, seriously? How can this have any dislikes at all?

[1986husker]

It is too bad movies and videos these days do not appreciate, where they have come from.

[lamiatb13]

he makes it look easy!!!

its AWESOME!!!!

[doggzma]

Now THAT was seriously cool!

[ConsumedByDrums]

1:54 was sweet, i also liked the little triplet thing he does at 2:53

[walterwhite121]

So damn smooth.

[TapiaJosh]

Hipster Fred Astaire: He was a Youtube star before it was cool.

[quily2002]

5 men just want to see the world burn.

[kruksog]

he's a beast, he's a dog, he's a motherfucking problem

[angrygreek1985]

3 people have no soul

[rantanplan1338]

two haters keep hatin

[tinycpw91]

the two dislikes are people who think lmfao and kesha have talent

[judgepajarillo22]

so this is the new drummer of slipknot :)) this is awesome

[MikeMiheli]

a little "on top" but still awesome. i'd kill him if he kicked my drums lol

[randito]

Needs more cowbell.

[amazinggoat]

that was a good drum break

[flopertone]

they used to do great stuff during the Great Depression

[Heidibear76]

The only White Man to ever have a Black Man's rhythm in dance and drums. Wow!

Yeah I said it. So what? It's Jazz bitches. Like every other form of American music: it's African American.

[mujerado]

@Heidibear76 Wow! So according to you every form of Amercan music is African American. Latin-Americans will be surprised by that, if no one else. Wrong, stereotyping and offensive in the bargain. Equal-opportunity snarkiness.

[MikeMiheli]

@Heidibear76 that's a negative, ghost rider. no black man (or white) does what fred did. baryshnikov had amazing dance and drum skills too but the closest i've seen to this may have been sammy davis or gregory hines.

watch this woman dance and hit some drum licks too with buddy rich!

[antoniodcz]

wow... I wonder how long it took to rehearse this to perfection, and Astaire looks SO relaxed throughout, SO much joy in his performance, beautiful!

[Cazzanevo]

Fred Astaire is sooo talented :D

[urizen1]

3:30 awesomest thing i've seen in a long time

[mhoopisblues]

Watching all the tapdancing videos on youtube from all the great tapdance stars in the world of the past and the present, there never is a fascination like i feel when i watch Fred Astaire. And i wonder why. What is the different? THAT is the different. I never get tired watching him and everytime it is magic. I think, he can dance a little!

[80scouplerules]

One continuous shot beginning 0:12 all the way to the finish-- absolutely no cuts. That's how you wow them folks.

[velenjak4ever]

@80scouplerules Damn right!!!!

[vk342]

I know the man was a genius but I can't imagine the hours he must have put into this (and the drums broken) before it came out perfect with a smile.

[sdftrd]

This defies description. He must have had a metronome inside his body. I can watch this a thousand times and not get tired of it.

[dnt9217]

Fred Astaire is thee Mr. Fancy Feet!!!!

[maintech777]

More Cow Bell !!!

[hfbakery]

I wonder how those drums were anchored to the floor.

[markuss232]

That. Was. Awesome. Zero dislikes, naturally.

[mrpinkproduction92]

gretest showman of all time. Hands down!!!!!!!!!

[bombachawoman]

Not human

[timmyobro]

can anyone do this kinda stuff anymore?

[Oct8pus]

Awesome!

[laurentlaurent65]

I Love This Movie !!!!!

[krunk4theking]
