George Raft with Little Richard --- SEE GEORGE DANCE

George Raft danced like no one else in his day. His clips are from a movie in 1929 (excerpts from Side Street) - TAKE A LOOK AT HER NOW. When I saw Raft dancing I thought Little Richard or Jerry Lee Lewis would have been a great back up group for him to dance to.. Little Richard volunteered..
The idea is to match music to someones dancing. (weird hobby)

Raft was hands down one of the greatest dancers ever recorded on film.

@Onlymusical Amazing how the music matches up with him, he was great!!!

Really very good. The music was perfectly timed, way to go.

Damn, wasn't Raft quick. If I tried that leg-shuffle, I'd be in traction for weeks.

2 gold stars: One for Raft and one for Little Richard.

@rem2267 Raft danced 70 years ahead of his time...Thanks for the nice comment, hope it made you smile..

Favorited. And put on fb.

@zhveer You have to admit that guy could dance. That was 1929.

[BernardProfitendieu]

perfectly in synch with the music, Mike - looks like it was choreographed for it!

(btw ...George Raft also had a very long career in heavier roles in the '30s through '70s)

Rock On Uncle George & King Richard I

Great job of matching up what seems, on the surface, to be very dissimilar styles of dance and music. Way to go!!
