BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I love you Frankie
I took a workshop with him when he was a mere 86. He was one of the most charismatic people I've ever encountered.
❤❤❤❤❤❤GOD BLESS HIM AND HIS LOVE ONES ❤❤❤❤
I played Bass Trombone in the Riverside Big Band in the Detroit area about 15 years ago. Frankie was teaching for a group of Lindy Hop fans. It was a special night. He could still swing it on the dance floor. An American Icon!
Great video. Thank you for sharing.
I had the opportunity 2 chat with Frankie, we had somethings in common, we both worked at the Post Office 4 our day job, Then kick in our real passion by teaching Swing at night.
Such a gentle , kind soul ,...He had a big heart and gave U !00% attention when conversing with ya.
Awesome!!
Enjoyed this tribute immensley. His basic video teaching Lindy Hop with Erin Stevens is wonderful.
I was searching some details of Savoy Ballroom to share its history to some dance friends and that took to me to dig into Whitey's Lindy hoppers then that leads me here to this video!!
Amazing amazing amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful! :)
I loved Him and others hoppers in " A day at the races".
Frankie wasn't in that movie.
Ough , yes You are right. www.swingpatrol.co.uk/frankie-manning-timeline/

Is it normal the soundtrack is unable ?
He tried dancing with 80 women for his 80th birthday in Philly, but I think he only got up into the 20s.
Just remove the whole thing. This does Mr. Manning's legacy a huge disservice.
How is that?
What the hell? How can you say something like that and not explain why? This is a bunch of clips of people who knew Frankie personally talking about him and Frankie himself. How can that be a disservice?
I found this documentary to be wonderful, and think it will go in the history books as an excellent testament to a culturally influential person. Not sure from what angle you could possibly be viewing this, to come out of it with such a negative view of it.
This is an absolutely amazing piece of dance history. I saw him many years ago when the University of Houston hosted a swing dance festival but I was too shy to approach him..I was outside of one of our studios and he was inside either just finishing up or about to start a class. I REGRET not saying something to him. I could have met him! lol I will use this in my classes!!
