Sometimes people forget that James Cagney was a hoofer. This cagney bit is a favorite of mine.

Great OP video, very clever. I'm a big TCM fan, recognized most of the clips.

This video is from 2012 but they still dance together recently...........

I'm a huge fan of the old musical movies; "Singin' in the Rain" is my of my all time favorites. Thank goodness for YouTube so these famous clips can be enjoyed anytime.

You missed one, the lady with the legs that went up to her Adams Apple was Cyd Charisse, a former ballet dancer from the Ballet Russe.

This is one of my favorite Cyd Charisse numbers, The Red Blues from "Silk Stockings". She is one hellova dancer.

Skip to 3:04 for the beginning of the dancing.

Equadog, I tried to cue up the video but it still started from the beginning. Not sure what I did wrong because I know I have cued the video to share before and it did work properly. Not this time though. ????

I've had the Uptown Funk video bookmarked on my computer for at least two years. I watch it every once in a while when I want to smile.

Here is another gem from The Nicholas Brothers when they were kids. Such talent........

EDIT: Actually, they weren't "kids". Harold was 15 years old and Fayard was 22.
