🎙 Lucky Number - Nicholas Brothers 1936


- Performance of Lucky Number, 1936.

⭐ The Nicholas Brothers were so young and talented with flawless and fluid dance moves and they can sing! The brothers were also featured in the 1943 movie, 'Stormy Weather' with Lena Horne. 🎥

- The Nicholas Brothers were an entertainment act composed of brothers, Fayard (1914–2006) and Harold (1921–2000), who excelled in a variety of dance techniques, primarily between the 1930s and 1950s. Best known for their unique interpretation of a highly acrobatic technique known as "flash dancing", they were also considered by many to be the greatest tap dancers of their day, if not all time.

Their virtuoso performance in the musical number "Jumpin' Jive" (with Cab Calloway and his orchestra) featured in the 1943 movie Stormy Weather has been praised as one of the greatest dance routines ever captured on film. Growing up surrounded by vaudeville acts as children, they became stars of the jazz circuit during the Harlem Renaissance and performed on stage, film, and television well into the 1990s...https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Brothers
