Originally shot in Black and White, here is the colorized version of The Nicholas Brothers in one of the GREATEST dance sequences ever performed!

From the 1943 film, “Stormy Weather,” the clip also features Cab Calloway and Orchestra playing “Jumpin’ Jive.”

Childhood prodigies, The Nicholas Brothers don’t get nearly the recognition they deserve. They were truly astonishing to behold!

@Deglassco Hands down THE BEST dance number ever put on film! Stormy Weather is one of my all time favs. The great Lena Horne, Bill Robinson, Fats Waller...

Two years earlier, the Nicholas Brothers appeared in "Sun Valley Serenade" (1941) dancing with the great Dorothy Dandridge to the Chattanooga Choo Choo with the Glenn Miller Orchestra - which went on to win an Oscar for Best Song!

Even Fred Astaire admitted it, the Nicholas Brothers were The Best.

@VancityKai Thanks for sharing this. They deserve so much more recognition than they have received.
