no body does it better than the Nicholas brothers. I think they would have been much, much more in the public eye if not for the rampant racism of the "golden" age of Hollywood, where they could perform, but not stay at the swank joints. However, I do not wish to use this as a forum and thank you for sharing these wonderful clips!!!!Long live true tap dance....
This montage kind of puts things in perspective - it is obvious that the Nicholas Bros. & the Condos Bros. performed in motion pictures, as they make pictures when they dance, even
with spectacular footwork - it's a complete
package. Too bad that the majority of the tap dancers today, prefer to stand in one place and spank the boards - a little bit of Savion goes a long way, and you might as well turn off the lights!!! Let's get the "dancing" back in tap dancing!!!!
now, this is what tap is supposed to be...today's tap os about who can be the fastest or the loudest...back then it was all about who could make the best music with their feet...true art...thanks
