The Nicholas Bros on The HW Palace, aired on Nov 14, 1964. The song is My Kind Of Town, which was sung by Sinatra in the Rat Pack film, Robin And The Seven Hoods. The Bros changed the name of the town from "Chicago" to "Manhattan". Vocals and tap sound are not live, but yet a great performance. Fayard still does a split here (he would develop arthritis afterward and stop doing a split, but stayed on the good foot until his last years by having two hip replacements).
This performance was staged by Nick Castle, a famous Hollywood choreographer, who worked with the Bros during their glorious 20th Century Fox period in the early '40s. The Bros repeated the same old routines after that, this performance, however, features something new, along with some reminiscences of their 20th Century Fox appearances - an elegant split in a slow motion (Orchestra Wives, 1942), Fayard turning around & around with splits (Down Argentine Way, 1940), an astonishing finish with a dynamic jump into a split (Tin Pan Alley, 1940), etc.

@ jobs668 according to wiki : Fayard (19142006) and Harold Nicholas (19212000), so they should be precisely 50 and 43, if I'm not wrong in calculation, and it really was in 1964 :-) anyway a detail, I agree :-)
tap dancing is not as pleasing to the eye as regular dancing or whats called i guess jazz dancing so no wonder it died out and fizzzeled out from 1960-on
