I love Fred Astaire and just read a pretty good book about him by Joseph Epstein. Epstein mentions some other great tap dancers of the Vaudeville era, so I thought I'd look some of them up on Youtube. What I discovered was that I have been sorely ill-informed about tap dancing, for I had never heard of the Nicholas Brothers. These guys are amazing.
Not to mention the great Cab Calloway!
