does anyone know what this song is called (im trying to find the music without the taps in it) ... any assistance would be greatly appreciated :) thanks again
If little michael jackson was added to this duo it would be the greatest kids trio OF ALL TIME ! Just picture michael's powerful vocals backed up by the nicholas bros dancing and singing ! DAMN now that would be a site to see !
....considered a true hi point. If they the greatest hoofers of all time were thrilled who in the fk are you to try and throw desention into the ranks. lace up a pair of tap shoes and try to rock a Fred routine..NOT SO EAST EH?? The Nicholas Bros are the true heart and spirit of dance not just tap..but Fred loved it and was great too..not on par..but great!!!
It's funny you mentioning that, I'm surprised that I haven't been banned from the page for playin the black and white off the thing!, I'm an addict, I was reborn again in this time because of my sins I guess. The shame is that htese movies are not played like when I was a kid branded as racist, they dogged Steppin Fetchit as a Tom, when the man was a genius,Look up Fetchit on YT and watch him work, amazin grace! I' am PROUD of him,and you for your contributions!
The other day I was watching this video and realized that if i didnt stop watching, I'd miss my bus to school. I stayed home that day. It was a good day...
@hugebodylover Fred Astaire & Gene Kelly admired the hell outta these guys. Gene Kelly put them in some of his movies. Yes it is a heartbreaker that they were never acknowledged full back in the day...
@hugebodylover Fred had his own style/talent and was well aware of and openly awed by them and helped to promote them in his own way. I agree they would have been tremendous stars if they had been white, but don't get on Fred. They danced together on several occassions and became friends until the day Fred died. He was one of their biggest supporters.

@hugebodylover Let me guess you are one of those don't confuse me with the facts my mind is already made up types? Sigh! I do nto want to get into a battle of words with you. I agree they are it when it comes to tapa nd they were robbed!
@preciousbash I DONT CARE WHATS IN YOUR RABBIT ASS MIND IM TELLING THE TRUTH TELL ME IN WHAT POINT IM LYING??? TO THIS DAY NOBODY WANTS TO GIVE THE BLACK MAN CREDIT FOR ANYTHING! TRUTH HURTS HUH NOW I BET YOU GONNA SAY I DIDNT DO IT =OK PAL.
@preciousbash Fred was a great dancer in his circle but never danced with the Nicholas Brothers professionally there is one record of them dancing together. The Nicholas Brothers Mom asked Fred to come outside and dance with her sons which he did (as told by Fayard). Lets be honest "what professional would want to dance with these guys, be blown out of the water and reconized as less than the best". It could've been suicidal career wise. No other dancer has ever tapped at this level.
Two of the best true dancer the United States has ever produced and they never had formal training. They were self taught. They are true treasures as good as Russia's May Plietskyake or Ulanova who had much more formal training . These gusys are fantastic. Not ballerinas but superb dancers.
i can only say,if these guys we're 'allowed' into professional sports back then....can you imagine? just even strap some skates on these guys,and hockey would be a very different game,football?,even baseball!..too bad, we coulda had some more 'real heros' and we need all we can get! and all they woulda done is improve any game they came into,without a second thought
I love how you can hear Harold's little sounds in the video, not only does he have a highly expressive face while singing but the little cries he makes seem to show how much he's really enjoying himself. This video makes me happy.
Yenerowna I TOTALLY AGREE with you were it not for this stupidity ppl of non-european origin had to deal with music acts like these two geniuses would recognized for their GOD-Given talent.
Above Films Fred saw them do that INCREDIBLE dance routine in Stormy Weather and said that was the GREATEST ROUTINE he ever saw period!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@dal4018 and you know you are right, there is nothing left to say, accept if ya want to see more of this, then Mrs. Nicholas must be havin a baby!!!! and i dont THAANK so.
the only other child entertainer that had IT like this may have been young mike jackson, search on you tube michael jackson, got the feeling, its a rare old clip
I eel the greater point is, sadly, Michael was the BEST at what already had been done, however due to racsim black talent like that of the Nicholas Brothers, Bill Bojangles Robinson etc was suppressed If you werent a buffoon, maid or cook, your "black as*s had no place on wht TV. Not until Sammy Davis Jr in the early 1960s began to break this barrier did America see raw Black Entertainment. That's why most American black performers went to Europe, ie France where they were loved. and respected.
Astaire actually said they were the greatest tap dancers and said of the Stormy Weather dance sequence that that was the best dance sequence ever put on celluloid. Gregory Hines once said if they ever do a film on the Nicholas Brothers that they'd have to use CGI for the actors because no one else could ever do what they did.
Thanks for your info. What I wouldn't give to see them alive now! My head is still reeling from the fact they did the Stormy Weather number with in ONE TAKE!!!!!!!!!!
i had to come back...............this is incredible..........it's here for all of us.....the fabric within.......i have never heard nor seen such greatness since ytb's "eric burdon and war's spirit and love is all around"...liv.e in copehgn."..in my favorites.
check them......there not to be compared it's just my twitsed taste or NOT in music
i completely agree with you, craftsmanship is DEFINITELY lacking nowadays. sadly, neither one of them is with us anymore. keep an eye on your inbox, i'm sending you the BEST nicholas bro. vid ever :-)
The Nicholas Brothers are so talented, but also they have such confidence and character which makes them even more entertaining to watch! I love this dance, and as a tap dancer wish I could do it too!
i'm standing up and clapping in my lioving room! this rocks! what a way to end black histiory month for myself...discovering true dancing icons and legends:..the immortal nichoals brothers..!..they're on fire, son!..yes!...
This has got to be my favorite because of the song in the beginning. It is so cute especially with the younger brother singing. . . such a cutie at the time. Anyway, I'm really sad that i just found out they existed earlier today. I already know they are truly legends!!
That the Nicholas Brother's talent is totally amazing goes without saying, but what I love about this video is their confidence and poise and the way they just ooze charm already at such a young age. What a pure joy it is to watch them.

Great post!! I use to have a copy of this film short called "The Black Network," but I lost the tape. Back in the mid 80's I spoke to Fayard about this number during intermission at the annual Tap Dance celebration held at Town Hall in NYC. He expressed fond memories of making this film.
America does, and did, appreciate. That is why the Brothers are alive & well on this high-quality medium, to this day; and likely, will be reformatted, again, to the next better technology when history brings it to us! Don't be negative; someone appreciated enough to record & print them in-the-first-place (just like all the other major performers of the day; see: Cab Calloway, Jumpin' Jive on U.T.). (Manfred McConnell)
This is history my friends. The Nicholas Brothers pioneered tap and were consummate entertainers in their own right. It's a pity America was too blind sighted to appreciate the wonderful talent of this amazing duo.
Im really glad you put this up. I fell in love with this song lucky numbers but I am finding a hard time finding the sheet music for the musicians to play it out in my play. I am willing to pay for it but I cant find it online. I looked up Cliff Hess but I dont see much on him.I also know that this is a short from The Black Network. If you come across a site can you please let me know.If anyone knows where to get the sheet music for this piece please let me know.Thank you!

That is why the Brothers are alive & well on this high-quality medium, to this day; and likely, will be reformatted, again, to the next better technology when history brings it to us! Don't be negative; someone appreciated enough to record & print them in-the-first-place (just like all the other major performers of the day; see: Cab Calloway, Jumpin' Jive on U.T.).

This is history my friends. The Nicholas Brothers pioneered tap and were consummate entertainers in their own right. It's a pity America was too blind sighted to appreciate the wonderful talent of this amazing duo.

Im really glad you put this up. I fell in love with this song lucky numbers but I am finding a hard time finding the sheet music for the musicians to play it out in my play. I am willing to pay for it but I cant find it online. I looked up Cliff Hess but I dont see much on him.I also know that this is a short from The Black Network. If you come across a site can you please let me know.If anyone knows where to get the sheet music for this piece please let me know.Thank you!
