Love, thy name is Shim Sham!

[2631833]

oh, it's just wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!

[Zumbawithcindy]

This is wonderful! I wish I had taken part. I had the absolute pleasure of taking with Frankie on two occasions once in San Francisco, and once in Phoenix, in the late 90's. Frankie was just above and beyond. He sparkled, he could out-dance any of us, and he was the consummate gentleman. Frankie we love and miss you

[chettmansberger]

I've sent this out to so many people, I can't count 'em. One of the most "smile causing" videos ever! People getting together all over the worldd to pay tribute to a great man, and clearly have such fun and creativity while doing it. What could be better?

Frankiefest, this is one of the best videos ever presented. It was INCREDIBLY well done. The smiles it brings will travel far and wide. Thank you so much for posting it.

[surreyjive]

Send this to all of the Presidents in the World, and let them learn to dance and how we all get along. They could learn something.

[herm0the0worm]

My favorite would have to be the couple dancing at CERN, possibly in the ring of the LHC.

[Bo0tyPride]

That was amazing. I wish we in vegas sent it in. It would've been so cool! So creative!

[Arjatko]

This video really makes one laugh and cry at the same time. Frankie was such a great man, and sure he's dancing at the Savoy right now and smiling gratefully over this :)

You people made a wonderful thing :-)

[fffirefly1]

O! So fun. Thank you for organizing, creating and posting!

[rmesteban]

That is one sharp video! haha, the ending is too funny. What a wonderful film to honor Frankie, who was loved by so many. He'll continue to live on as long as the dancers maintain his spirit and keep those dance moves alive!

[sfmelissa]

WOW!!! This is awesome. I'm blown away at all the global landmarks in the background....truly a worldwide phenomenon. Thank you for uploading this!

[animdiva2]

It makes me laugh and cry whenever I see it.  Love the video quality but miss the audience reaction to the various scenes in the unofficial version... snow shoes... hula... underwater... great wall of china. The laugh when people fall down onto the snow during the "freeze". Sigh. Good times, y'all!

[moxiegray]

What a joy!!! Thank you for putting this together and to all those who contributed! I have a huge smile on my face but . . . still a tear in my eye.

[trisoma1]
