Bern Nadette Stanis studied dance at Juilliard School of Performing Arts in N.Y.C. back in the day, she always said that dance was her first passion, she definitely had a dancer's figure...
The song at 1:19 is Mandrill "Fat City Strut" (1973). It's being played at 45rpm. It's interesting that they used two songs from 1973 in this episode, even though it was taped and released in 1974.
The song Thelma was dancing to in the yellow shirt is called "Man & Child" by Masterfleet from their only album "High On The Sea" (1973). The part we hear is the beginning of the song. Very funky.
It makes me think and wonder did any of them ever danced on Soul Train? If not, I know that Thelma and Micheal are good dancers that would made it on Soul Train. JJ the only one that would not have made it there.
Love love love me some Thelma the way she dances man oh man she has got thee moves even to ths day at 70 years old shes still dancing just the same! ❤❤❤
Mandrill - Fat City Strut. Keep in mind that in this episode the song is played at a faster clip than the actual recording. The song is still funky though.
That always tripped me out, I remember once when he was painting Sweet Daddy Williams and it was played super fast like this too. Then when I checked it out on Mandrill's stuff it was much slower, lol. But yeah, one of Mandrill's super funky joints.
Here's what I did: Open two windows on browser; On first window, search "Busta Rhymes - The Coming [Full Album]", play track "Everything Remain's Raw" or "It's a Party"; On second window, watch this while keeping it on mute. Have fun.
Does anybody know the artist and name of the song that the 3 Evans kids are dancing to at 1:18? I’ve searched and even Shazam the song, but I still haven’t come any closer to learning who the artist is.
Thelma was so pretty she's still beautiful
She still is...
@@EclecticBrownGirlTV Agreed!
Yassss I admired her so as a kid, my childhood idol for sure 💪🏾👏🏽💕

S. Chris T. yes she did not only beauty but talent to go along with her god given beauty!!!
A lot of dancers age gracefully.
We know that
@@Drejac1 You may know that, but everybody does not, don't make the mistake in life of speaking for others...🙂
Thelma and JJ's characters played off each other's so well. She's the only one that could shut him up. They were so evenly matched.
The last groove is called," Fat City Strut" , by Mandrill.
Thank you. I never knew the name of that song
Thanks I couldn't find that song no where 😁
Mannnnnnn they just played them on my satellite radio!
Eric B and Rakim sampled it for their song "For the Listeners" on the Follow the Leader album!
Thank you so much!!!!!!!
I can remember seeing this episode of Thelma dancing, I literally lost it. It was the talk of the neighborhood 😊
Before this show...
Michael was on Broadway
Thelma was a professional dancer
and JJ was a comedian
MontanaR_2018 class miss bernadette was a dancer and she was a julliard rookie and jimmie was a comedian and ralph was a Broadway actor!!! right on!!!
Thumbs up!!!
Ikr;-)
Jimmie Walker STILL does Stand up AND is a Conservative btw!
J.J. used to work at Yankee Stadium and still has a coin he got from the Legendary Mickey Mantle
JJ was ahead of his time doing that inflatable tube man dance! 😁

Gettin' down 70s style! I was 15 in 1974. 😎
JJ is awesome!
I was 2 years old...
I was -20 in '74
I was -24 lmao
I was dead well not alive.
Michael had the best dance moves. He was killing it
No buushit, and Thelma was killing it too until JJ came in and messed it all it up!
Once when JJ was dancing , Florida told him,"Stop it before something falls off " ROFL!!!!!
I read that in Florida's voice. lol
@@guylittle7052I did too! 😂😂😂
He wasn’t dancing when she said, he was jumping up and down as if he was going to fight the guys who were in the apartment
Okay, the crush I had on Thelma way back in the 70's has officially returned.
😂🤣😂
How cool would it have been if Thelma had been on Soul Train! ❤
Actually Ralph Carter, who played Michael once appeared on soul train to promote his latest record. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Yeah. Just imagine Thelma and Damita Jo Freeman dancing together on Soul Train
Oh yeah 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
Say Michael wasn't gettin down and be lying to everyone's face. Dare ya...lol. Mike was giving it to em!! Love this!

Bernadette Stanis aka Thelma. Her FRO was Beautiful she was and she is still stunning. Miss Ja'net Dubois aka Willona has journeyed on today🌹🤦🏾♀️😔
She's the definition of beautiful
I’ll never forget the episode, when Thelma danced to “Native New Yorker”✊🏾
Native new yorker by odyssey was a great disco record. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
The song Thelma was dancing to in the yellow shirt is called "Man & Child" by Masterfleet from their only album "High On The Sea" (1973). The part we hear is the beginning of the song. Very funky.
THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUU! ❤❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉🎉❤❤🎉Mmmmuah! 💋
That’s some real obscure funk right there
Thelma is beyond fine!!!!! Damn, If I had a time machine, I would go back just for her!
Wis Dom

You don't really need a time machine she's 67 now and still looks pretty much the same as she did then.
Lavern Merriweather no she's like in her 50s!!! but she looks 20s
@@angeljohnson6665
She's 63 years old and still fine

@Angel Johnson Yes Lawd!
Love thelma's shoes in.these videos..
Thelma looks great in 70's clothes.
Lol @ Michael! I enjoyed the dance clips.
i grew up on this show since 1974 i enjoy this clip thats the way it was in the house hole.. that was good times..
the dance part from the pilot episode is PRICELESS
I think JJ Michael and Thelma. They should’ve been on soul train they would be in soul train they would be his soul train dancers
It makes me think and wonder did any of them ever danced on Soul Train? If not, I know that Thelma and Micheal are good dancers that would made it on Soul Train. JJ the only one that would not have made it there.
Damn, Thelma was hotter than hot.. Hell, she's still fine as hell..
And she's a senior citizen, I guess black *don't* crack

Andrea d'Ablo
That always tripped me out, I remember once when he was painting Sweet Daddy Williams and it was played super fast like this too. Then when I checked it out on Mandrill's stuff it was much slower, lol. But yeah, one of Mandrill's super funky joints.
On Early Episodes of Good Times Thelma had an afro.
chazzybebe good I finally got the answer
Good times is. My favorite show I love
The heels tho 🥰🤩
Michael was cuttin the rug up
That last song may have been one of Schooly Dee’s sampled songs. “Am I back enough for ya” the fast version.
Eric B and Rakim's "For the Listeners "!
It's a "GROOVE THANG"
I always wanted to know why J.J. jumped out like that lmaooo 😂😂😭😭
I rember this I'm 62 now;-)
I love Thelma but she could never touch my records. Look how rough she was with the arm and needle! LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Lmbo at JJ's crazy ass dancing
Tawahna Green lol
Here's what I did:
Open two windows on browser;
On first window, search "Busta Rhymes - The Coming [Full Album]", play track "Everything Remain's Raw" or "It's a Party";
On second window, watch this while keeping it on mute.
Have fun.
Michael was gettin’ it with that serious face 😆🔥
Thelma was so damn fine. Lawd have mercy!
That front kung fu kick was dynamite
Damn Thelma!!!!!
Black Jesus was one of my favorite episodes 🥰❤️🖤💚
I Love Good Times = The Whole Cast 🔥 🌟 🔥.
You got to love his sisters dance so funny 😂 Season one of good times was classic
J.j. jumped in like Jason Sudeikis on the SNL skit "What's Up With That"😂
Throwback Thursday 1997)
Still watch them..part of my child hood. N its still on...Yea..
70s dance floor. Always!
Thelma Thelma, Thick Thick Thelma !
Does anybody know the artist and name of the song that the 3 Evans kids are dancing to at 1:18? I’ve searched and even Shazam the song, but I still haven’t come any closer to learning who the artist is.
I used to love to watch them dance Lol!
Thelma Thelma, Thelma!!!!
Dio che bella Thelma 😍
That last joint, Rakim remade / interpolated for his song "To the Listeners"
Thelma had on blue panties @ 1:33. Damn pixilated, blurred TV in the 70s
Thelma Evans...my very first bonafide crush as a little boy in the late 70's.
Go Thelma, Go!
I gotta find that jam. I think its Brass Construction. They always had the great Tunage from that time on the show.
It’s “fat city strut” by Mandrill but played a little faster
Yo Michael got on high heel sneakers 😂🤣🤣😂🤣
Wow I just love watching JJ doing his thing, I can't believe the actress who Thelma was between 14 and 15 in those scenes. She looks in her early 20s
She was 20 years old when she began on good times.
@@harperstacey9604 thank you👍
J.J. stomping out roaches
Thelma is so gorgious.
I remember my parents playing that last song when I was little 😂😂
I want a pair of Thelma's heels❤! Anyone know the name of them?
