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 I have to agree, that’s a that’s a high bar, but their routine is truly phenomenal! It’s hard to imagine the time it would’ve taken to master it and the risks it posed — let alone possessing the skills and the stamina to perform it. Thanks for sharing it!
