Regular readers are used to this. I occasionally post ‘choice finds’ from the world of YouTube.
Today, some videos that always make me smile. all behind embeds behind the cut.
First off is the Amazing Donald O’Connor and Gene Kelly in the classic Singing In The Rain performing:
Moses Supposes
Back to the mid 80’s with Duran Duran’s “Wild Boys”
If you loved A-Ha… this one made me laugh for several minutes
And finally from the department of, “Oh My F***”
What do you get when you cross Gregory Hines and Steve Martin…
Nvember 25, 1981

I am about to wax terpsichorean:
Watching O’Connor and Kelly together is truly magical. You see two of the greatest hoofers of all time, but you also see that slight edge that makes Kelly… not better but perhaps ever so slightly more natural about it.
Then, to follow it up with Hines and Martin… I don’t even think Savion Glover could have done it. I don’t think anyone really appreciates the range of talent Steve Martin has. I wonder if he’s ever done Shakespeare? I know he has played at least one bad guy in Mamet’s The Spanish Prisoner and was scary as hell. Banjo picker, slapstick comic, tap dancer, writer… wow.
