Hands down the greatest and most talented child star damn can she dance

[browningpgc]

Seems like yesterday! What a great video!

What a "little genius". Knew her lines, her steps. She brightened a dark era in American history, and she can still brighten a day.

Although I loved her dancing with Bill Robinson in her other films, "At The Codfish Ball" with Buddy Ebson was my very favorite...I think because the dancing was a little more "involved". She was, indeed, so adorable & talented. Best of all, there was never any dirt or scandals in Shirley's life (unlike so many other actors and actresses over the years).

She was seriously the cutest most talented little girl ever!!!!

This is the first time I have witnessed a Shirley Temple performance! She is AMAZING! Wow, can she ever dance and sing!

[polkaspots231]

i remember taking tap and jazz lessons when i was younger and feeling so accomplished being able to shuffle off to buffalo and doing the move that she does with bill bojangles robison up the stairs..i was her age too but it seems so much more natural and well better with her than mine

[MyTobi19]

on 3:36 i would be soooo worried about dropping her! D:

[MaryJoMcCormic]

she always looked so happy

[Clowning8]

Two of the greatest dancers, the Great Shirley Temple, and the Amazing Buddy Ebsen! Wonderful you just don't find talent like this anymore and if you do its rare!
