Watched this yesterday, because I am a sucker for jump blues, and the Brain DJ cannot resist singing the refrain, "hep, hep!" –

A live performance from the 1943 movie, "Stormy Weather", in which the Nicholas Brothers (Fayard (1914–2006) and Harold (1921–2000)) do a tap routine that will give you serious back pain.

@Deglassco The #nicholasbrothers were the most amazing dancers I’ve ever seen. Ever! Someone once asked a group of friends who was better Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly ? I said the Nicholas Brothers. Only 1 other person knew who they were. Thank you for sharing.
Just because I saw this shared elsewhere and yes, I've seen it before, and you've possibly seen it before too, but why wouldn't you take five minutes to watch the truly unbelievable levels of dancing skills of the Nicholas Brothers with the great musical accompaniment from Cab Calloway and his band any time you get a chance?

with Beth @sonyasteele OMG, this is one of my all-time favorite #MovieClips. The #NicholasBrothers were from another planet, I think, because there's no way human beings can move like that. They were the epitome of beauty, grace, strength, and excitement. My heart wants to burst every time I see this. #BlackFriday #BlackMastodon
