Absolutely spectacular dancing (and song). The globe really needs to see more shows like this in the media --- brings a big smile to people's faces -- not those doom and gloom news stories. Wow, this was so good !!!
this has to one of the most breath taking videos iv ever seen there are so many styles of dance contained in it that were a head of there time. i remember wigan casino an the dance moves there. thank you for sharing this. R.I.P to Marlena a great loss.
That was the Eleanor Powell, she was a actress and dancer between the 1930s and 1940s. There is an IMDB and Wikipedia page about her. The woman was so good she made Fred Astaire sweat to keep up.
Let's wade in the water Wade in the water Listen to me now, wade in the water I wanna know that you're mine Because your love is so fine C'mon let's wade in the water I mean, wade in the water Listen to me now, wade in the water I wanna know that you're mine Because your love is so fine You know, baby, that you've got me uptight Because your brand of loving feels so right I'm like a ship in a stormy sea So wade in the water, daddy, and rescue me You know you got me sailing from midnight till dawn You even got me drifting all night long But you are the best fish that I have found Let's wade in the water, daddy, don't let me drown I mean wade, c'mon and wade, listen to me now Wade in the water, I wanna know that you're mine 'Cause your love is so fine When the water's calm and everything is right Ain't no catfish gonna make us fight Hold your sails to the wind, keep your ship in gear If we sail together we got nothing to fear You threw me your line, hey, and now I'm your bait You got me hooked and line and stickle, let them other fish wait Call me fin flappin' mama who's learnin to float So, hold on captain, you're rocking the boat! I need your loving power, it's really outta sight C'mon, wade in the water, where everything is right Don't let our love sink, let it float like a tree Our love can be as great as the deep blue sea Folks don't understand what we've got going Don't let them make waves C'mon, let's keep the stream flowing I need a big ship, a yacht won't do I wanna wade in the water and be closer to you I mean, wade, yeah, listen to me daddy I mean wade in the water, wade in the water Wade in the water I wanna know that you're mine Because your love is so fine Hey daddy, you really got me uptight Even though I love it, because you're so right
Fantastic Northern Soul classic released on Checker records,the instrumental version by Ramsey Lewis & released on Chess records is also fantastic,.ktf.
I found this by accident after being introduced to Wade in the water by the Ramsey Lewis trio... the GF says this is way to upbeat for a jazz tune... but I say no way and the dancing... OMG... want to talk about break dancing... this puts that too shame... unreal ...
Water always wins. Im in my basement bailing the overflow from a gefukt, un-snakable storm drain. Thinking of the Mac race when we got so pounded that an upper bunk fell off the bulkhead, and a thru-hull cork popped out. We broached through the Straits in pouring rain, pounding seas, and heavy air, soaked to the gills, 3 feet of water and floating gear everywhere by the time we were done. The Inspectors took one look and left. Im trying very hard to think that it could be worse.
Eleanor Powell wasn't she married to actor Dick Powell, did not know she could dance. Just wished the singer was in this vid? Wow very old tune, thx for info about the song Doc.
We think we're so cool with our choreography these days. The folks in these vids show us how to do it properly. What, Are they from the 50s or early 60s?
For any Skins visitor out there. What episode did they dance like this in? I dont watch skins, but I want to see how they danced it. and I cant find it here on RUclips. Season and Epi # Please. Thanks.
Oh God, it's so sad........RIP, Marlena. Thank you.
yep...this track swings...gone but not forgotten Marlena ❤

That dance at the beginning is epic! Love it!
Let's wade in the water
Wade in the water
Listen to me now, wade in the water
I wanna know that you're mine
Because your love is so fine
C'mon let's wade in the water
I mean, wade in the water
Listen to me now, wade in the water
I wanna know that you're mine
Because your love is so fine
You know, baby, that you've got me uptight
Because your brand of loving feels so right
I'm like a ship in a stormy sea
So wade in the water, daddy, and rescue me
You know you got me sailing from midnight till dawn
You even got me drifting all night long
But you are the best fish that I have found
Let's wade in the water, daddy, don't let me drown
I mean wade, c'mon and wade, listen to me now
Wade in the water, I wanna know that you're mine
'Cause your love is so fine
When the water's calm and everything is right
Ain't no catfish gonna make us fight
Hold your sails to the wind, keep your ship in gear
If we sail together we got nothing to fear
You threw me your line, hey, and now I'm your bait
You got me hooked and line and stickle, let them other fish wait
Call me fin flappin' mama who's learnin to float
So, hold on captain, you're rocking the boat!
I need your loving power, it's really outta sight
C'mon, wade in the water, where everything is right
Don't let our love sink, let it float like a tree
Our love can be as great as the deep blue sea
Folks don't understand what we've got going
Don't let them make waves
C'mon, let's keep the stream flowing
I need a big ship, a yacht won't do
I wanna wade in the water and be closer to you
I mean, wade, yeah, listen to me daddy
I mean wade in the water, wade in the water
Wade in the water
I wanna know that you're mine
Because your love is so fine
Hey daddy, you really got me uptight
Even though I love it, because you're so right
so good. Nothing left to say.
5 stars ... 5 stars ...
