BLACK HISTORY FIRSTS - 1943 I’ve always agreed with Fred Astaire that this Nicholas Brother’s performance at the end of the All-Black film “Stormy Weather” is the best tap number ever filmed. While it was exceptional and has long stood the test of time, this was more of a culmination of many long careers rather than a “first” …. however, the fact that this final version of the iconic staircase scene is the FIRST TAKE they shot, earns it a place on this list, as well as on my list of OMG moments in Film History! I have probably viewed this number over 1000 times in my lifetime and it still retains it’s “wow” factor. (The narration is by Fayard Nicholas from a Biography Channel documentary.) I don’t think the Nicholas Bros have an official instagram so I’ll tag some of my fav current masters of Tap @aetv @NicholasBrothers @iamseanscott @johnscott @seanandjohn @the_savionglover @GrimeySteps @CartierWilliams @curtis.hollard #LoJoWerkz #LoJoWerkzDailyDope #DAILYDOPE #BlackHistory #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackHistoryFirsts #TheLastShallbeFirstandtheFirstsShallbeLast #TheNicholasBrothers #FayardNicholas #HaroldNicholas #GreatestTapDancers #GreatestTapNumberonFilm #FirstTakes #StormyWeather #CabCalloway #BillRobinson #Bojangles #LenaHorne #FredAstaire #StaircaseDanceNumber #Tap #TapDancers #WallsBrokenDown #BarriersShattered #GreatFirsts #WhoGotNext
