That's my Grandfather.... the trumpet player who stands up and speaks
NO WAY!!!! awesome!!!!
John Colic I'm so proud of him
Did he record w Fats?
@@michaelcarroll2543
John Colic my father said No
@@michaelcarroll2543 shit nice, times a funny thing
I am so proud to be the great-granddaughter of Ada Scott Brown! I have memories told to me by my mom Adah Jeanne and my brother Sonny. I cry every time I listen to her music.
Adair Browne come on tell us some...
Write a book. I know I'd love to read it. I'm sure others would too.
Must be so awesome to see and hear your great grandmother on a video like this.
What a legacy
Adair Browne your great grandma speaks to my grandpa in this movie, the trumpet player
The amount of talent on that screen at one time is INSANE!
Carrie L Cody
The entire film is like that. I don't think they could make this movies equal these days.
It really is.
@@jjburkk you know that's true, for sure. I haven't been so excited about a movie in a very long while, except the Kinreds Brothers films like War Room, Couageous, Fire Proof, just to name a few.
They just don't make movies like they used to.
@@jjburkk what movie is this??

Stormy weather
"I was born balling and im a ball the rest of my life"
Im surprised no rapper has sampled that or used it in a song cuz thats a dope line
funny it took seeing it typed out to for me to get the pun "born bawling." great line.
@@dxb338 Good catch!
It shows they don't know their own musical history lol
@@LeVezz yup ... self imposed Ignorance, sadly.
@@robt1418 you sound ignorant as hell go listen to country or some talking about todays age is bad as hell but they more cultured then WHITE PEOPLE
“You got the world in a jar.”
“Yeah, but where’s the stopper?”
That’s a surprisingly deep question once you think about it.
Ahahaha, that's just genius!
It's a shame that Fats Waller died so young. He died in 1943 at 39 years old. He had pneumonia. Back then, they didn't have penicillin. Antibiotics didn't come out until 1947.
They had penicillin. Not everyone has access to it, but it was in widespread use by 1943. Is not certain if his pneumonia was caused by bacterial infection anyhow.
my grandmama would look at me and say, "I wanna know one thang, is you is or is you ain,t my baby", then I would say, I is Ma and she,d cup my little face in her hands and another me with kisses....miss her so much.
awwwwww 🥰❤️
Beautiful memory.
1blessedbrotha aww so touching, 🥰
Wonderful!
Awww... I love that song too. And what a lovely memory.
I didn't know the phrases "ballin'" and "beefin'" went back this far!
Boolin in 1943
"There's nothing new under the sun"
beefing meant something different tho.
@@sharksport01 WHAT ARE YOU TELLING ME, ARE YOU SAYING THIS IS ABOUT MEN BEING UNDERCOVER LOVERS IN 43?! @McAfee
"ballin' the jack" goes back to the '20s I think
I was born during the war in England when this was made, and my parents used to always be singing ‘ain’t misbehaving’ fats Waller version. It’s real treat to discover these recordings of Fats, and I think Lena Horne was in Stormy Weather; anyway, she was a pin up on my teenage wall for years. Thank-you for enabling to revisit sweet memories. Lovely!
Fats Waller---one of those select dozen or so artists that were unique and one-of-a-kind; thank the stars for records and film, that's all I can say!
I Agree
Just realized that he died not long after this movie was made.
Have you heard him on organ? He's an American Bach
I bought a CD box and was impressed, how much he recorded.
Fats a goat of this time period, his ad libs and talking responses are always so creative and clearly pre planned but feel improvised and add a lot to the music. It’s a good example to show someone who hates rap and says “talking isn’t music” fats music wouldn’t be the same without the talking
Exactly! They say hip hop isn't music because of "talking ". But there are many examples of talking in songs that are considered music. Including talking in Jazz, Blues, and Rock. Hell Muddy Waters would talk in some songs and that's always considered music. But not rap. Makes no sense!🤣
Fats is the complete Artist.
He is a composer, singer, pianist, comedian & mime.
Thank God for UA-cam so that 14 year olds like me can learn of such Gloriousnes
PAST generations like FATS WALLER ,,OSCAR PETERSON...ADA ..are who the YOUTH TODAY should go back to...with all the internet and learn from them...THEY were TRUE GREATS of ANYTHING
I’m 14 and this is deep
How did African American music go from this to Cardi B and Nicki Minaj 😭
I absolutely love the chemistry between Fats and Ada!!
" I went to a fortune teller she told me you don't love me all you wanted was my gold "
Fat's reply how did she know ? That cracks me up every time .
That cracked me up 🤣🤣🤣
"Suffer! Suffer, excess baggage! Suffaa!" Oh man. That got me good!
Sure wish that party was tonight, just across the street.
Sing it Ada!!! That lady is laying this song down!!!! Thank you for this post!! I love seeing black singers from the 1930's and 40's because this brings me close to my dad. This was his time of youth and its just great to see what music and singing and songs were like at this time of jim crow and segregation.
calvin jackson god bless your father - and you, calvin
It also gives these performers the much long overdue recognition they did not get at the time.🙌💓
It allows too, future generations access to their works.
Thank You for Posting this video.
This is my favorite genre of music. I don’t have a familial connection to it, but somehow from a young age it spoke to my soul.
@Kevin Henderson You got that right😃 Rappers "got nothing" on these folks. Wow! What a treasure.
Imagine if Hollywood of that era had not been so segregated. What great musicals we could of had!
"Baby I was born ballin' and I'm going to ball the rest of my life."
At 77 , my nostalgia for the world of my youth is actually painful. I guess the only way you can satisfy your nostalgia is to watch lots or these old movies and other videos. Sadly the “feeling”of that time can never be recreated .
Ada - She said you didn't love me, all you wanted was my gold.
Fats - She was right!
Haha
She was right! How'd SHE know?"
Well she was a psychic!
They just don't write 'em like this anymore.
DON'T encourage his bad behavior!
WD
“How’d she know!?”
Hahaha
"I went to a fortune teller, I had my fortune told, she told me you don't love me, you only want my gold!" "That's right! How'd she know???"
That's just pure lyrical awesomeness!
Baby I was born ballin’ and I’m going to ball on the rest of my life.
-Fats Waller
Soon as this video started my shoulders jus' dropped and my toes started a-tappin. Awesome.
These people started all the rhythm and blues and soul and wrap that we have today.
You forgot about this thing called Rock, and Roll perhaps you heard of it?
@@Ichijoe2112 they started rock and roll pop all of it I know because I'm a music historian.
Most of elvis Presley music is black. Even his dance moves.
Or more soul that now???
@@Ichijoe2112 started rock and roll also.
Amazing! I’m a skinny white boy from Massachusetts, and I first heard this in grad school seven years ago. I’ve been listening to it ever since! This is *music.* Fats on the Keys and Ada belting out the brass. I can’t get enough!
same here lol
now this is talent and the whole band
"I went to a fortune teller and had my fortune told
She said you didn't love me/ All you wanted was my gold"
"Yeah she was right, how'd she know" lol
I just love this, so playful and so wholesome.
"baby I was born bawlin' and imma ball the rest of my life"
Everybody want some gold, baby
Not sure about "wholesome"
"One never knows, do One?"
Hahaha I know right!!
That's incredible. I'd be so happy to see that. What an amazing thing to take forward to your family.
Worst war in history; best music in history
You just can't go wrong with a Fats Waller song, ad libbing to Ada Brown's singing!
It's so good, had to watch it again. Wow!!! Can't say enough about their talents, skills and my enjoyment just watching this.
Great film with a talented ensemble of great black entertainers.
I'd pay good money to hear them live. Such a delightful performance!
i just want to b there among them -forever
Did he call her...excess baggage?...damn that was cold n funny as hell
I'm 89 now. I remember going to watch them play. They are all dead now. Good memories.
Bullshit. You’re screen name is “GeriHalliwell4ever”. You were born in the 70s at the earliest. Come on.
rhythm and style! Handsome!
Glad I looked for more from "Stormy Weather" after listening to "Ain't Misbehaving." I love this one between the banter and Ada's wonderful voice. M-m-m-m! It's sad that the great talents that were in this film couldn't regularly get properly funded film projects like Stormy Weather. Also, "Feed the Kitty"- I wondered where the phrase came from. I've always known tip jars as "The Kitty." It's much older phrase than the movie though.
That vibe is unbeaten. Why can't we have that anymore 😢
covid
The good lord took Fats far too early. He had at least 20 more years of good music he could’ve made. I weep for the music we never got to hear.
Outstanding!
Fats Waller & Ada Brown...& Mr. Bill "Bojangles" Robinson!!!!! & Lena Horne!!!! REAL TALENT cannot be faked.
😘🎶🎹🎶😍
Who else does a movie even need???
"Stormy Weather", y'all. Thanks for posting this.🤩
Love them blues and jazz music
"Put the best looking one in front."
"That'd be me."
XD
fantastik!
That is so cool! My Dad was a professional pianist and loved Fats Waller. He even recorded a CD devoted to Fats Waller. The power of music has gotten me through so many rough times during my life.
i could listen to this forever, what incredible voices
I swear there's a sort of limbo for dead people and it all looks like this, just the talented people playing their hearts out in pulgatory
This film was packed with talent, led by Waller.
Oh she has the most smooth thick beautiful voice!!!! Rich and strong....
Hello lorrie how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
I am almost 92 I did get get to see Fats Waller
THAT AIN'T RIGHT was written by Nat "King" Cole.
Beautiful, terrifically Amazing, Fats was hilarious suffer suffer baby 😂🤣
"one never knows, do one?" best quote
Never. Does you does, or does you does not, know who the plump lady singing with Fats Waller is? And this: Is you is, or is you ain't, a jazz pianist? Good Evening, friend. (See my response to "Brandon" elsewhere on this site, as he answered the question in a response to the same inquiry from another gentleman.
Ikr? The amount of times i replayed that part over and over again isn't even funny....
i think i'll be saying that for awhile now
2:17 "Ah, beef to me mama, beef to me. I don't like pork no how."
My favorite line.
@@kevinboone2178, the plump lady you are referring to singing with Fats Waller, is Ada Scott Brown, my great-grandmother. She has an entire collection of great songs. Thank you for inquiring
Any video with Fats Waller is a treasure.. American original
Ada Brown... the music just glows out of her!
Anyone notice the unreasonable amount of hats on top the piano?
FiveMusic well now that you point it out, there does seem to be an unreasonable amount of hats on the piano.
it's the band's and people's hats
It was deemed impolite to wear a hat inside.
Everybody wore hats in 1943. Church pews even had a hook for every seat just to hang your hat. Derbys were out but porkpies and especially fedoras were in.
@@billholt716 Also....when a couple was in a church service; it was customary for the lady to hold her man's hat in her lap.
Just so amazing,, so much talent there,, so many star's ..
wow! and I spotted Bojangles straight away,, his dancing is like no other ..
That's PURE GOLD for every generation.
My favorite musical, the talent together in this is outstanding!
Fun bit of ragtime trivia: Ms. Ada Brown, singing (and acting) here, was a cousin of the famous ragtime composer Mr. James Scott, from Kansas City. I hope she recorded and made more movies!
Too bad HE never got to record, make piano rolls, or make any films! (Happily, two of his piano students, "Tiny" Parham and Bennie Moten, DID make recordings, so between their recordings and the sheet music of his pieces, we have an idea of how he may have played).
Fats Waller sem dúvida está entre os maiores de todos os tempos. Músico maravilhoso, instrumentista genial e ainda por cima tinha uma veia cômica fantástica!!!
ADA MY LOVE.
Real talent unlike the dribble of today.
Watching in Lock down here in the UK.
Love and blessing from Wolverhampton England to you all.
No one peeped that Fats Waller started the phrase balling in the 1940’s... he passed way too soon. I would’ve loved to hear the other songs he would’ve written had he been here longer.
When my Dad went to Julliard School of Music in the early 20's he met Fats Waller in Harlem
Thomas Forsythe Was your father Reginald Foresythe?!!? !
@@andrewbarrett1537 No Andrew, his name was Harold Bruce Forsythe
How old are you?
@@insearchof9903 I am 67
@@thomasforsythe7256 Awesome. I'd never heard of him before! What instrument(s) did he play?
Fats Waller my late mother favourite artists, she loved his style of piano playing hi
i JUST LOVE THIS NUMBER .. Fats is so good with his comebacks and Ada is just great
Fats' ad libs make this GOLD!!!!
"I wish somebody would book me someplace"
Will Good ROTFL
You can´t pay this performance with an Golden Globe, Emmy or Oscar.
This is the first time I've heard her. What a voice!
Me too, I love her deep & rich voice. I wish I could find more songs she sang
This is just classic. I know some people think this is demeaning to blacks, but I think this is quite the opposite. It shows what incredible brilliance in music, acting, dance, and humor blacks have contributed to society. I just love this stuff.
Wait, what? How could blues and stride piano possibly be demeaning to black people? The entire American songbook is based on what was going on in New Orleans...
Ewerb7 you gotta be white..smh..ur racism is showing
GOLIATHdominates They don't mean the great musical performance. That is timeless. They mean the wide grins the waiter and clientele were forced to plaster on.
I agree. It's all, How You Choose To Perceive It.
I see, Excellent Performers that are Thoroughly Entertaining.🙌🙌🎼🎶🎷🎹🥁
Yes, They can be seen also as an asset to their particular race.
Yes, You could remember the pain and ignorance of the era.
What matters most are The Talented Human Beings,The Wonderful Music and Acting.
I choose to focus on the Positive, not the Negative.✌❤🤗
@@adambarnes4086
Intended or Not, Your comment comes off a bit racist as well,Sir.
Actually. I have heard some African Americans say that ,that time period and those films(and also the "Blaxploitation" films of the 1970's)are a shameful period in Black History and They cause more shame than appreciation.
It isn't specifically an opinion of this gentleman. And I would assume he meant no insult or offence in stating that.
So, It's all in how you personally perceive what you are watching.
I look at the Actors. I look at the musicians. The dancers.
I judge by Talent, not by Skin Colour. I do so in life in general.
I would judge a film or performance by Content or Storyline(Is it Intentionally Racist? Is it Speaking Down to The Actor or Promoting a Negative Stereotype? Those I tend to avoid.).
With Ada and fats energy it’s just pure awesomeness. It’s a shame that there’s not that much footage of Ada
Прекрасный клип какая импровизация!!
"Suffer excess baggage, suffer!"
What does that mean? I don’t think I get it
@@callmeonkeshiasphone don't take my word for granted but I -think- that Fats Waller said excess baggage because she was just useless. Like all she needed it her for was her gold, already stated in the song. So now that Fats found out that she knew about him using her for gold, she was no longer useful to him, deeming her as excess baggage
Suffah...he said suffah❤❤❤😮
Like traveling to the past , love these videos
Beautiful just beautiful
Aways and forever fats Waller we will remember you eternity
Team Fats Fuckin Waller!!!!🎉🤘🏳️🤜
This is pure GOLD!
This is a terrific piece of musical history.
Ada brown: that ain’t right at all, fat’s Waller: what’s wrong with it??????
Outstanding R and B historical incredible rendering ! No words ! Emmanuel from Paris France. The best ever pianist Fats Waller no way !
Black Excellence!
I love the back and forth here between the singer and the man at the piano. There's just such a spark there, and I think it's yet another talent that's sadly become a lost art, these days.
The lost art of call, and response.
Some would have us believe that before "civil rights" all the Blacks were poor and miserable ...doesn't look like it here. Now, one might say, this is just a movie. Well, it IS just a movie, BUT that's also the REAL Fats Waller, and the REAL Ada Brown. Waller has been called The Black Horowitz -- he was that good! And his stride-piano development and style makes him the father of modern jazz. I lived and worked in the deep south for a few years in the early civil rights era. I knew so many wonderful, happy black people! And I'm glad for the civil rights laws, but I know that some Blacks traded their peace and contentment for a seat in the front of the bus, and the right to eat in any restaurant, or stay in any hotel. In retrospect that was one of many huge sacrifices they made on behalf of racial equality. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
SUFFER EXCESS BAGGAGE, SUFFER
"I was born, ballin'!" And they got away with it. ;)
"Balling" meant going out dancing. Like to a ball. Good golly Miss Molly.
Actually we were all born bawling, it means crying when a baby is doing it.
Fats has played in my memory since I was 6 or 7 years and I love it! His fun way of playing just tickles my fancy bone
Man I love Fats Waller He was such an excellent musician whatever had in mind and played it sounded very musical He was one of a kind!
WATCHING THIS LEGENDARY MUSIC ICON IN THE LAST YEAR OF HIS LIFE 1943 WE REALIZE WHAT A HUGE LOSS IT WAS AND STILL IS. THEY CALLED HIM "THE HARMFUL LITTLE ARMFUL". REST IN PIECE MR WALLER. THERES NEVER BEEN ANYONE LIKE YOU
Now THIS is a voice
And no one is talking about how good the acting of the waiter's was?
RoseWAGEE. That whole scene from ceiling to cloor, from wall to wall, and everything in between, masterful😃
RoseWAVEE He's Jim Bowjangles Robinson.
The times where you could smoke freely, like Waller does.
I understand the comments of concern about the "shine' aspects of this clip. But let's look at the whole film and you will see it is not the blaxploitation trifle that some think. Start with the Wikipedia entry for "Stormy Weather" the movie). How boorish of YT not to allow links.
The film is based on the life of a legend whose work survives in early films and clips with Shirley Temple. Then consider who participated in this film. It might be asked, who is funning who?
"Suffer!, suffer, excess baggage, suffer!"
i HAVE to keep going back to listen to ADA BROWN...geewhiz ...what a voice and artistry....thank you..forever!!
His eyebrow control is EPIC!!!!!
Jim Graziano 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
