For his 1937 film "Something to Sing About," Cagney hired two of his old vaudeville buddies: Harland Dixon, who had been famous on Broadway but never became a movie star, and Jimmy Boyle, who would later coach Cagney for "Yankee Doodle Dandy"

From 1918 through the 1930s, George White's "Scandals" were some of the top revues on Broadway. But before he became a producer, White (born Isadore Weitz) was a tap dancer, and in the film "George White's 1935 Scandals," he broke out a soft shoe.

Four Step Brothers Shine Shoes in Style
Now we have twerking.
This dude was suck a unique dancer. Almost like he was figure skating and tap dancing at the same time!!! Never seen anything quite like it👏👏👏👏👏
Does Tom Hanks know about this ?
A beautiful lost art. I'm so happy it was recorded and a great entertainer, Mr. Robinson!
You forgot EP
The resilience of those people is off the charts
Heard about this dance on XM radio today, couldn't wait to get home and see it. 1932..... amazing!! What a talent!!!
It’s the syncopation!!
Both are great
A lost art, hopefully someday this style will make a come back - I bet MJ would have been great at this had he chosen that path.
The balance and coordination it took to stand on that top step and one leg too. That would have done me in. Right up there with the Nichols Brothers.
Amazing 😊
Bill Robinson had a talent to tap dance and to keep in step the count of the beat. It is not that easy.
❤
Mr. Bojangles...dance. Fabulous!
Long lost level of remarkable talent.
Mr. Robinson would make it onto any of the “Got Talents” today. He was certainly talented in addition to all the hard hours of work he put in. ❤
Who was alive then in 1932?
Many thanks for walking on the end!
Mr Bojangles ~ Dance :)
Sammy was always a superstar
Gold diggers of 1933
Every. Single. Tap. Clear. Clean.
What an athlete! He must have had leg muscles of steel. He was a fabulous dancer who made it look so easy.
So much rhythm from such minimal movements - amazing to watch!
alexdixon4550, we will never see those dancers again. Like Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, and others. Good thing for videos. Me, I cherish these moments.
He sure has a passion of dancing

Thanks. ✌🏻👊🏼
Keeler sure put the hoof into hoofer. Her dancing sure sounds better than it looks.
It's all about the beat.
Wow he is amazing!, I hate how we treated Blacks, wish there were more videos of these amazing talented people!
Yeah I can stand those racist jackasses
Wow! Great performance!
AMAZING!! ❤️❤️❤️
Balance 👣
👍
🙂
dancing for WS left him broke and dying in poverty, but the WS he taught earned millions
Boring garbage...💤
I mourn the fact that entertainment lacks anything like this any longer. Beautiful ball room dancing has found its way back to some small degree through things like Dancing With the Stars, but these wonderfully entertaining dancers just aren’t seen any longer. I think people have no idea of the dexterity or athleticism involved because they make it LOOK so easy through their smooth fluid moves.
Awesome 👏
STAIR MASTER❤❤❤❤❤❤
Too many cuts to the audience. Who gives 2¢ about them?
Oh yeah!!! There was Bill and the next best ever THE NICHOLAS BROTHERS!!!! They took tap dancing to a whole new level. They were dangerous as children tapping those feet!. There haven't been any one else since Bill and the famous NICHOLAS Brothers.
Next best?? Did you even see what they did with stairs??!!
@@B.H.56 WHO? The Nicholas Brothers did full splits hopping over each other coming down the stairs. There is no one badder than the Nicholas brothers. Bill showed them the way Mr bogangles!
He's so relaxed, it almost looks like buck dancing
4:11 the dolly shots in these old films are terrible. It's like they're dragging the camera over gravel.
Love the way he moves his arms. Most tapdancers that I see today look awkward because their arms don't move at all! (Not that I know anything about tap dancing.)
Wow! I didn’t know his age. I just knew he was the best.
He was born 146 years ago.
THE OLD WAYS OF DOING THINGS NEED TO BE PRESERVED AND PASSED ON TO THE NEXT GENERATIONS. ....THIS VIDEO IS A CLASSIC EXAMPLE...ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO PUT INTO WORDS THE VALUE OF IT AS AN AMERICAN...ONE CAN LEARN HOW THIS NATION WAS SHAPED AND WHAT MAKES IT WHAT IT IS THAT YOUNGER GENERATIONS FORGET.....AND YES THE RACIAL UNDERTONES CANNOT BE IGNORED THAT IS THE STORY OF AMERICA.
