What an era! Thank God it's been rescued for all posterity. The amount of technical choreography puts anything today back to kindergarten! Under appreciated, energetic, and just plain fun to listen too. It doesn't hypnotize, it energizes and entertains. Thanks for sharing this.
OMG ‼️ Super magnificent performance by all artists ‼️ Specially Tex Beneke , Dorothy Dandridge and Nicolas brothers 👍‼️ Music 🎵 of Glenn Miller is Masterpiece 🎉🏆‼️🔥🔥🐐🐐❤️❤️❤️
Did you know that Dorothy Dandridge got married to Harold Nicholas one year after this movie came out? (Harold Nicholas is one of the Nicholas brothers)
Thanks for that factoid! I study all the great dancers. Here's her Wikipedia page. I also have to research the dandridge sisters en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorothy_Dandridge
Man, I'm really a rock'n'roll fan... from my childhood... This is actually not even my decade... but I still keep coming back to it... The 'Swing' decade had a LOT going for it... Especially Glen Miller... and even more especially, Dorothy Dandridge! What a star!!! 😁
I just subscribed to your channel ❤. This is!! My kind of music! I’m 70 yrs old and my parents were singer’s. We , 7 now only 5, sibling’s grew up with this FABULOUS MUSIC. This is REAL. MUSIC Not the CRAP, NASTY, ILLEGIBLE WORDS and loud obnoxious supposed, what they call, MUSIC TODAY!!!! I’m so grateful to you and that I found your wonderful channel! 💕🙏🙏
Unfortunately both she and the Nichols brothers were born thirty years too early for them to reach the superstar status their deserve. Also having them perform separately meant they part could be cut out for White Southern audiences.
I keep coming back to this wonderful video... Partly because I love Glenn Miller's music, especially this song... but mostly because I LOVE Dorothy Dandridge! 😍
Peter Farrar:- The fabulous Glenn Miller's orchestra in supreme form with the ryth mic " Chattannooga Choo Choo". Dorothy Dandrige with her sinuous facial expressions & dancing & the fabulous Nicholas Brothers with their dance sessions were outstanding & stole the show. Currently there is nothing to compare with this quality of musical talents, but musical garbage. A bad decaying taste of the present generations that favours. Golden words by Peter E. Farrar. 2:176:02
Sfido chiunque a dire quando hanno sentito per la prima volta che questa canzone alla radio! Io avevo appena 7 anni! Abitavo in Udine. Era il 1957!! Ne sono rimasto entusiasmato! Ora ho il motivo sul mio telefonino per le chiamate!!! Cosa ne pensate?
Yes. He was one of the stars from Fox's "stable" of actors. John Payne portrays the pianist, although his playing was dubbed by Chummy MacGregor. The film was successful enough that more stars appeared in Miler's second film "Orchestra Wives". There was Cesar Romero (the Joker in the 1960s TV version of Batman), Jackie Gleason, Harry Morgan a/k/a Col. Potter, and Dale Evans.
Paula Kelly had the lead female vocal on this track. Marion starred on People Like You and Me. Trivia: It didn't come out until the 1960s or 70s that the Modernaires had some help from the group Six Hits and a Miss. The sound equipment of the time had trouble getting enough volume from the Mods so Fox added 6HAAM, singing behind the scenes.
The Nicholas Brothers are fabulous too, of course... but when Dorothy Dandridge is on state, I find it impossible to take my eyes off her... Sorry boys! 😉
Dorothy Dandridge is just SSSSOOOOOO gorgeous!!!! 😁
Eighty years too late, but I'm still in love with Dorothy!
😕
Born in1944, I love listening to all the war music,especially Glenn Miller. The music of today is nothing compared.
The Nicholas Brothers were insanely talented...wow!
So was Dorothy Dandridge, so talented and tragic.
Absolutely loved the big band era.. nothing like it

Oldies are Goldies ❤ - I Love Glenn Miller ❤
I love all of this....great music, singing and dancing....they just don't make movies like this anymore.....fantastic
They KNOW they could GET DOWN TAP DANCING!
How advanced we could be right now if everyone had been given equal opportunities in music,science you name it.
Meaning what exactly?

NICHOLAS BROTHERS ARE LEGENDARY PERIOD
Awestruck each and every time all these talents play, sing and dance.🙏
I'm a total rock and roller...But I can listen/watch this stuff for hours!
The Nicholas were talented! Also Dorothy Dandridge was such a beautiful, talent actress! Sad how she died! She could’ve became a mega star!
Unfortunately both she and the Nichols brothers were born thirty years too early for them to reach the superstar status their deserve. Also having them perform separately meant they part could be cut out for White Southern audiences.
Wow, and wow again, those Nicholas brothers are awesome.
I keep coming back to this wonderful video... Partly because I love Glenn Miller's music, especially this song... but mostly because I LOVE Dorothy Dandridge! 😍
The Nicholas brothers look like they are 14 and 16.... but one was 20 and one was 27?
Yes
It doesn't get any
better than this......
What great music , makes me wish I'd lived during that time , and Tex can sing ,played it 100s of time .
That series of triplets on trombones... REALLY impressive! 😁
Such amazing talent by all.
Awesome video, thanks so much for posting ❤️
Great performance of a classic song. How many today, though, realize that the "boy" summoned in the lyrics could have been in his 70s?
I know I lived back then .. I love the music to much ..
The "Nicholas Brothers and myself" in a trio performing "The Chattanooga Choo Choo" song.
Great video! Love that song and it's performers. But, sorry, it's the NICHOLAS Brothers. Still thanks for up loading this.
Na minha opinião esses dois irmãos foram os melhores sapateadores de todos os tempos......

Omg that's milton Berle
Hitler, Tojo, Mussolini would look at this and just not understand what God hath wrought.
Que hermosos recuerdos
Thank you
Dancing is crazy ... Good ..
Isn't that Milton Berle in the plaid jacket?
Yes. He was one of the stars from Fox's "stable" of actors. John Payne portrays the pianist, although his playing was dubbed by Chummy MacGregor.
The film was successful enough that more stars appeared in Miler's second film "Orchestra Wives". There was Cesar Romero (the Joker in the 1960s TV version of Batman), Jackie Gleason, Harry Morgan a/k/a Col. Potter, and Dale Evans.
Lead vocals Tex Beneke and Marion Hutton
Supporting vocals The Modernaires
Paula Kelly had the lead female vocal on this track. Marion starred on People Like You and Me.
Trivia: It didn't come out until the 1960s or 70s that the Modernaires had some help from the group Six Hits and a Miss. The sound equipment of the time had trouble getting enough volume from the Mods so Fox added 6HAAM, singing behind the scenes.
No computers real music
I don't know who the african american lady is but dang she's a beauty
Buena música sin duda
The Nicolas brothers were the teachers of Michael Jackson.....
Any other dance entertainers here?
I dance around and have a blast - people give me tons of money. They say I'm really good
Just great
uncle milty
Fabulous
❤️❤️❤️
The Nicholas Brothers are fabulous too, of course... but when Dorothy Dandridge is on state, I find it impossible to take my eyes off her... Sorry boys! 😉
Dorothy Dandridge got married to one of the Nicolosi bruddas

Describe the Nicholas Brothers >>> imagine yogi's that can dance...
K Lee Sometimes when I am feeling own, I just binge watch Nicolas Brothers videos. No one can even touch them.
First thing I would do in tap shoes is slip and fall down
Czy ktoś stworzył lepszą orkiestrę?
aspect ratio is off
Yo creí que el que estaba chiflando era Elvis xD
Uh, "Glenn", with 2 n's please.
tex beneke
Wrong format. 16:9 instead of 4:3.
Glenn Miller is great. The Nicholas Bros. are superhuman! But Milton Berle, as always, is perhaps the worst comedian I have ever seen.
