Harlem Renaissance: Created and spread MODERN music to the world at a HIGH level. Loved by the world for good reason and still listened to and admired today everywhere.
As you can see millions of people in the world thought Michael Jackson came up with these moves but mj idol is “Cab Calloway” and mj just made cab Calloway moves back famous again many people doesn’t know who Cab Calloway is even people who was born in the 60s 70s 80s 90s doesn’t know but I’m pretty sure some still remembers who these guys are I was born in that era but I thank god that I’m still here to share my generation memories if I could ever find that old old old video that of my daughter Nicole dancing with Cab Calloway and also with The Nicholas Brothers she was about 6 when she danced with the Nicholas Brothers and 8 when she dance with Cab but she also dance with other people and I will never forget that!
This was an era before we became a lazy entertainment culture. People today don't want to practice and train their bodies, instrumental skills, and voices to be great.
Remember, radio, movies, and television got people staying home. That killed vaudeville and clubs. There is no place to learn your craft. And, no place to practice your trade.
The Nicholas brothers were absolute icons, with their dance routines and acrobats, I can understand why nobody wanted to follow them, they were superb talent who gave you the feeling of being proud to be black. when one watched many of the blacks who were stereotyped in certain roles of being the clown, servant, or slave, which Hollywood enjoyed perpatuating.
Nothing wrong with smoking reefer. You can see this show being made in 1985 society was indoctrinated by the 'just say no' campaign. Lots of jazz artists then and today smoke weed and its fantastic. As the dominos fall and states and countries legalize, it'll be a great vindication of the wonderful people that created modern music for the world.
We are an amazing people.

Omg please share them if you could find! It's be so valuable l!
@@Betsyischilling it’s on RUclips actually back in the late 30s & 40s
I think most people think James Brown did if I were to assume mass ignorance, but it’s never a bad thing to assume people are ignorant.
😍👍🏿👏🏾👏🏾💪🏿
Umm we know MJ didn't create certain moves, but he always gave respect to the greats. And said to study the greats and become greater.
Just found your channel! Been urgently searching. Now found.
I love the fact Theresa Webb identifies the brothers and sisters performers as AFRIKANS. Original People are truly great. Love y,all.

This was an era before we became a lazy entertainment culture. People today don't want to practice and train their bodies, instrumental skills, and voices to be great.
