Cab Calloway and the Nicholas Brothers: Stormy Weather.

Yehoshuasays...

That's an awesome song (Joe Jackson did a cover) but it's The Jumpin' Jive, not Stormy Weather (which is a personal favorite).


As an aside, did anyone else hear the pianist playing the opening notes of a Mario Bros. theme?

yehoshua: you are indeed correct that the song is called "Jumpin' Jive", the clip itself is from a film entitled "Stormy Weather".

Incidentally: according to the Youtube poster, Fred Astaire referred to this routine as the single greatest tap-dancing bit ever captured on film. Well, I suppose he would know, so no argument here!
