Great videos Susan, & Dazzal. Youth today think they invented breakdancing & the moonwalk but they just capitalized on what the stars of the past created. Nothing new under the Sun. When I was in my early 20's I took a cruise to Bermuda. As I was looking for my cabin, I bumped into an older black man who looked so familiar but I couldn't place where I knew him from. I smiled and said excuse me but I'm certain I have seen you before. He got a big smile and said it's possible. Being as friendly as he was I continued to engage him in conversation. I said I associate you with music, have you ever played an instrument or hung out with the musicians who play jazz or blues at Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village, Manhattan? I used to go there a lot with my boyfriend and enjoy all the different bands jamming for free. He smiled again and said well I have been known to hang out with musicians. All of a sudden it hit me - I had recently seen a documentary called "No Maps On My Taps" featuring the greatest tap dancers of all time and he was one of them! I said OMG, you're Bunny Briggs!! I felt so embarrassed for asking him if he hung out with unknown musicians jamming in the park. But he seemed genuinely tickled that this young white girl knew of him. He told me he was hired to perform on the cruise and hoped to see me in the audience. I was flabbergasted to be conversing with a legend who turned out to be one of the nicest people I had ever met. Here's a video with "Dr." Bunny Briggs... |

Thanks, MisterNostalgic, Foxy I loved the video and they were all great dancers. Thanks for sharing your story!
Remember Savion Glover? It seemed like yesterday that he was so young starting out. He's 49 years old now. Another great tap dancer.  I enjoyed seeing Jerry Lewis looking so healthy at that time.
Look at Jerry and Savion hugging at the end. It looks so heartfelt. I loved Jerry Lewis' talent.

Great video Dazzal. I always liked Chubby Checker and he was such a good singer. Great song and one of favorites. I was almost tempted to do "The Twist". LOL I think my hips and legs would be sore afterwards. LOL |
