Steam Heat - Liza Minnelli and Tracy Everitt

"Steam Heat" is the opening number in Act II of the 1954 Tony Award-winning musical "The Pajama Game," with score by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross.

Tracy Everitt choreographed this routine and danced with 17yo Liza Minnelli for the Judy Garland Show Christmas episode. It was taped on December 6 and broadcast on December 22, 1963.

In 1963, Tracy was already a seasoned Broadway veteran. He made his Broadway debut in the original production of "West Side Story," then went on to "The World of Suzie Wong," "Bye Bye Birdie" and "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying."

Tracy currently teaches dance in NJ and NY: http://www.tracyeveritt.com/

I love how the director holds the shot so often. Today they switch from camera to camera to so qucikly you can't appreicate what the dancers are doing. It started with musica videos. Since the singers couldn't dance, the cameras had to.

See the Carol Haney version of Steam Heat on YouTube, and you will be floored! I suspect Michael Jackson found an inspiration in the Haney et. al. performance.

I agree but then I don't agree that the enormous change in pop culture closed down the wonderful entertainment that existed. For example, Dean Martin beat out the Beatles with "Everybody Loves Somebody." Sinatra remained enormously popular. Tony Bennett, Peggy Lee, Streisand, Julie Andrews, Sammy Davis and a host of other beloved performers weren't exactly unemployed after the Beatles hit the scene, not to mention the big black pop explosion of Motown. I think there was room for everybody.
