Love tammi but this all new to me! Wow! Just wow! I don't care what colour their skin is. This is just about incredible dancers - and they are truly awesome! Great happy tune too. I just had a listen to the original sound for this dance sequence - this is much better LOL ;)
OMG! I've never heard this song or seen that vid clip before. Both are just amazing - but especially that dance sequence. THAT IS ASTOUNDING!!!!!!!!!! Thanks to Utube's annoying new look I found it in recommendations. Who knew Utube could get it so right!
well it just goes to show dont it, I thought i had heard all the motown songs, and then the other day I was listening to my local radio station and this track came on, and thats how I arrived here and pleased I did cos thats a cracking video great dancing and people really enjoying their dancing to go with a great song, but was this a hit in the UK ?

This is absolutely amazing footwork and dancing.. Wow~ Never even heard of them before seeing this video. I was glued to the screen in utter amazement. VERY NICE post. Thank you
My heart goes out to all of the performers (singers and dancers) of both Tammi Terrell's and The fantastic Whitey lindy hop dancers from the 1941 film 'Hellzapoppin' eras for the way they were treated by American society at large. Their talent and hard work were nothing short of INCREDIBLE. And if America had been more progressive at the time, more people would have appreciated all of them.
I WAS BORN IN 1950... ROCK AND ROLL THEN THE 60S BEATLES SOUL MARVIN GAYE AND THE REST OF MOTOWN. AND THE STONES, FLOWER POWER. I WAS A DJ IN THE 70S YOU HAD SOUL STAX PHILLY SOUND SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER... I COULD GO ON AND ON.. I WAS SO LUCKY TO BE BORN THEN IN 1950.. SORRY GUYS TODAY ITS NOT THE SAME...
@symone09 IT WAS SYMONE I WAS BORN IN THE 50S FROM ROCK AND ROLL SOUL AND MOTOWN IN THE 60S AND 70S FLOWER POWER IN THE 1967-68 1960 BEATLES I WAS A DJ IN THE 70S WHEN THE PHILLY SOUND WAS AROUND SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER BEE GEES.. AND THE 60S WAS SO SO MUCH FUN,,, NOT LIKE TODAY.. BUT GLAD YOU LIKE WHAT IT WAS LIKE IN THEM DAYS THANKS TERRYBLUEEYES
@royalwelshful lol lol lmao dont worry about that their all dead now or using zimmer frames lol or in nursing homes talking about how much fun they use to have when they were young lol
@surfamurfa You must be around the same age as me then? God I wish I had Met this chick (Tammy) back in da day.Come back and give us one more song together Marvin/Tammy.
We as a black race have had so much talent that was over looked and the sad part of it today we can make a different now but the talent out there now is better than before but they use it in the wrong way I think. These old dancers and stars now paved the road for todays talent and they dont even see it or respect it.
@overstreet42 Couldn't agree more my friend. I wonder what Martin Luther King would say about all the black rappper-men driviing shiny cars, Uzi in the back and slapping theiir bitches upside their head? What was the black civil rights struggle all for? The trouble is this culture has now infiltrated many other countries like the UK where blacks and whites alike adopt this mentality going around like idiots. What a waste.
it is so sad but black entertainers were just robbed by white america. Don't get it twisted Fred, Ginger, and the whole lot watched these clips and learned from the best. it would have been fine if they gave credit where it was due shame shame shame
@AishaBoothHorton I agree. It is a well known fact that white people looked at black culture to get their ideas. They did not akcnowledge it. Even Elvis stole from black culture. Madonna is still stealing ideas from cultures and acting as if she invented them.
absolutely blown away ,love it ,love it, love it! Legends .how funny and talented fills you with happiness ,hope our love and adoration is felt by even those stars who sadly never really had their day . Thanks also docludi for this post . Gail
These dancers are awesome and the reason why they never became celebrity was because of racism in America during that time. Even when Motown was becoming huge, they had white dancers to dance in the live performances of the likes of Martha Reeves and The Vandellas and The Supremes, etc. Thanks for this post, docludi
Ms.Terrell,Teena Marie,Patrice Rushen,and ALL the Blacks,Latinos,White,Reggea,Jazz and all the WOMEN OF MUSIC Drums,Keyboards,Bass,Guitars,Writters,Producers u know who u r the true women THANKS U SHOW ME ALOT i SORRY IF i DID MENTION U BUT I DID MY HEART N MIND KNOWS CUZ YOUR SONGS TELL ME SO ALL OF U,PAlets, Tina Weymonth,lisa n wendy,Ella, these names r mention cuz that how deep it goes Sharon Bryant and on and on
this white female better than black females,WHITES USED WHITNEY cuz' of how racist they r,MaDonna muisc was played on Black radio 1st 'Hoilday was played in late Oct.83, on white radio for the 1st time,Madonna was out 80-81 on BLack radios,Whitney just was a token cuz' they don't give Blacks no credit 4 our art,our muisc, y 2 day push the bullshit that's the way they think of us,no black bands we ruled in the 50's 60's 70's n 80' and b4 then I'm gonna stop cuz' u don't hear me ms Terrell ...
them done it like Tammi omg so beautiful,sexy omg I'm in LoVE man...don't take about today people it's exactly what it is today and I'm not gonna debate with anyone cuz' if u mention Mary J. beilge,Beyonce,or any of them to any music of any era Tammi was so way ahead of her time lost 4 words,none of them can eat THE REAL DIVA'S SHIT Whitney's on crack because of Teena THIS WHITE WOMAN GOT THE WHOLE BLACK RADIO ON LOCK DOWN!!!! the only reason Whiney's was there cuz'of race BLACKS Don't.....
I just watch unsung f/ Tammi Terrell;1 thing that said:"Ms.Terrell was 4 got" YES,I"ve heard her songs but never her music ......well I see y they all were jealous all them even the woman I love in music, they had to be cuz' I didn't and don't know but guest what I'm gonna find out. Ms. is the all=time best I love my female singers; Teena Marie,Sade,Chaka Khan,Ms.Fanklin, and Ms.Labelle growing up oddly she was like Miss Philly(I didn't care too much 4 her but I do respect her,)But no none of,,,
Great record and superb dance choreography, a brilliant upload as it shows the younger generation of entertainment of the era.
I agree with cleverfeller's comments, however, now this footage is on youtube there are nearly a 128,000 views. They will now be remembered and copied for a younger generation.
All I can say is WOW!!! I'm speechless. I didn't know dance groups existed back then with so much talent, energy and precision. It makes me so proud but I just wished they'd gotten the recognition they deserve. If they have, then obviously disregard my comment. Thank you.
Great pairing with the Hellzapoppin' clip. The clip feels a lot lighter/happy-funlovin' than with the original Lindy music. Brings a smile to my face :)
Where do u think Fred Astaire got those steps. He spoke of going to the black clubs and getting ideas. It wasn't natural for him like these talented people. Fred use to practice so ling that Ginger rogers feet use to bleed. Look at nthe energy and beautiful bodies of the dancers. That's what young people in America were before geedy business started putting all that crap in our food sources. Now our childern look and move just like those steroid animals and chemical plants they feed us.
That must be the best dancing I've ever seen. The combination of the dance and the track is unreal - any more information about this would be very welcome
Oh my goodness that was sooooooo incredible. My good heaven. What talent, skill, and gifting. WOW! i am winded just laying on my couch watching. LOLOL We were soooo robbed of compensation (financially & recognition wise) soooo sad.
@auaiao9 If they were white they would have been plastered all over the place, give a darn break. People of color always have to settle for whatever little crumbs is thrown their way. They gave their best and were robbed, you know, the usual outcome. PLEASE!
When I think of how famous Fred Astair, Ginger Rogers and Gene Kelly were, it is a crying shame that these guys weren't much more famous.....they are definitley much more talented.
@cleverfeller Not in this life or this world, as long as those who own and run it, always have run it, always will. These GREAT talents ARE famous to those of us who they mean something to. THIEVES run our society then and now, thieves is what they are and will remain, THIEVES!
@cleverfeller My word they were. They are fantastic. I think Fred didn't have the strength lol. These guys have Ballet dancer strength and physiques. I think in terms of straight up ball room dancing Ginger and Fred were still king. But well. This takes dancing to another dimension. Brilliant. Great you put it up.
@cleverfeller helllllllllllllllllllllllllllll YYYYYYYYYEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They were the best at dancing, this will put american dance crew to shame
The saddest thing about this is that all these incredibly talented people are now gone.....and I never knew a thing about them until I saw this. They should have been mega-stars.
@cleverfeller The historical thieves of our world stole credit, info, talent as has been done DOWN through the years. We have to either search or accidentally run into GREATNESS such as this to know it ever existed. SAD huh?
@cleverfeller I said the same thing, about them not getting the fame they earned and I received a strange reply that said, "at least they are on here." Some good being on here is doing them, when most are deceased beside one dancer. They cant even hear the praise and honor we are paying them. They WERE supposed to be as famous as Doris Day and Fred Astair and Ginger Rogers, BACK THEM. But, of course, they were NOT. SAD!
@cleverfeller Or.. you could look at it another way. Isn't it great that these "talented people" enjoyed life reached their potential and left us with great memories.
They are not all dead, Norma Miller is still well and truly alive, Frankie only died very recently too, I have had the privellidge of meeting and knowing both of them ( a little) AMAZING PEOPLE
Totally agree. These people were FANTASTIC and never got the recognition or opportunities they deserved. This is such a wonderful song and video. These people were so talented. I love the song as well. Tammi sounds great. PLEASE DONT EVER take this video down!
I do not know the sexual behavior of Paris but she is the boss- whether that means we are more explicit or more conservative- she's the boss. If she wants the G2, she gets the G2- If she wants the G4, she gets the G4- but not the G6- I refuse to a be a Samson- Phan is in charge of all house rules concerning Love, Sex, and Marriage.
Thanks for the info. Do you have any contact details for Norma Miller? If so I think there may be countless emails coming her way. Has this kind of thing ever been bettered since?
@merseybee. Good question. Are you from Liverpool? I spent time working in Liverpool, I was a Plessey man and went to the She Club. This film is called, 'Hellzapoppin' it's great youcan get it off the internet. Beware though, many versions of the DVD are slightly speeded up which takes about four or five minutes off the running time.
@eggzy43 Yes sure, that's right Edge Lane and I have many happy memories of being there. In the canteen at Edge Lane a girl used to come in called Irene and I can tell you she was dynamite - I always regretted not talking to her. Also went on a 26 week TXE4 telephone exchange training course at Plessey's Huyton centre. Mersyside and Wirral people are top people. All the best.
That's Whitey's Lindy Hoppers in the movie Hellzapoppin. They were a dance troup from the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem. The fella in the overalls is Frankie Manning. He choreographed this piece. Frankie just passed away this spring one month short of his 95th birthday. Thousands of dancers from around the world came to NYC to memorialize him. The only surviving member is Norma Miller, she's the one dancing with the chef. Believe it or not, people all around the world are still dancing LIndy Hop.
Vid compliments the song really well, congrats.

@cleverfeller Not in this life or this world, as long as those who own and run it, always have run it, always will. These GREAT talents ARE famous to those of us who they mean something to. THIEVES run our society then and now, thieves is what they are and will remain, THIEVES!

@cleverfeller I was just thinking the same thing! I've just now seen these dancers! Brought tears to my eyes!

@cleverfeller My word they were. They are fantastic. I think Fred didn't have the strength lol. These guys have Ballet dancer strength and physiques. I think in terms of straight up ball room dancing Ginger and Fred were still king. But well. This takes dancing to another dimension. Brilliant. Great you put it up.

The saddest thing about this is that all these incredibly talented people are now gone.....and I never knew a thing about them until I saw this. They should have been mega-stars.

@cleverfeller that is well said.. I gues we will never know baut the video as to live... Thats the best vid of this song...

@cleverfeller The historical thieves of our world stole credit, info, talent as has been done DOWN through the years. We have to either search or accidentally run into GREATNESS such as this to know it ever existed. SAD huh?
1024SueNelson 1 year ago
@cleverfeller I said the same thing, about them not getting the fame they earned and I received a strange reply that said, "at least they are on here." Some good being on here is doing them, when most are deceased beside one dancer. They cant even hear the praise and honor we are paying them. They WERE supposed to be as famous as Doris Day and Fred Astair and Ginger Rogers, BACK THEM. But, of course, they were NOT. SAD!

Totally agree. These people were FANTASTIC and never got the recognition or opportunities they deserved. This is such a wonderful song and video. These people were so talented. I love the song as well. Tammi sounds great. PLEASE DONT EVER take this video down!

I do not know the sexual behavior of Paris but she is the boss- whether that means we are more explicit or more conservative- she's the boss. If she wants the G2, she gets the G2- If she wants the G4, she gets the G4- but not the G6- I refuse to a be a Samson- Phan is in charge of all house rules concerning Love, Sex, and Marriage.

@merseybee. Good question. Are you from Liverpool? I spent time working in Liverpool, I was a Plessey man and went to the She Club. This film is called, 'Hellzapoppin' it's great youcan get it off the internet. Beware though, many versions of the DVD are slightly speeded up which takes about four or five minutes off the running time.

was plessey in edge lane?
eggzy43 1 year ago
@eggzy43 Yes sure, that's right Edge Lane and I have many happy memories of being there. In the canteen at Edge Lane a girl used to come in called Irene and I can tell you she was dynamite - I always regretted not talking to her. Also went on a 26 week TXE4 telephone exchange training course at Plessey's Huyton centre. Mersyside and Wirral people are top people. All the best.

That's Whitey's Lindy Hoppers in the movie Hellzapoppin. They were a dance troup from the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem. The fella in the overalls is Frankie Manning. He choreographed this piece. Frankie just passed away this spring one month short of his 95th birthday. Thousands of dancers from around the world came to NYC to memorialize him. The only surviving member is Norma Miller, she's the one dancing with the chef. Believe it or not, people all around the world are still dancing LIndy Hop.
