for real guys, please stop commenting about the beat. this is a fun edit I made spontaneously. I'm getting the same kinds of comments over and over about beat counts. but if you really want to comment, then do because it helps the algorithm. thanks :) hope you all are having a great day!!
I am 80 and grew up watching most of these musicals. Your video clips show the younger generation what great moves these dancers created. Wonderful clips.
Was it? Cos younwas acting like folks burst into song and dance choreographed routines have slowly descended into mindless gyrations. You're watching idealistic musicals. It's not a historical documentary. You can still very much see this kind of dancing and singing if you watch musicals from today too.
@@caroleemoreno8086 You NEVER forget the super, and classy dancers in those old movies. They had pure STYLE oozing out of their bodies. Now all that is left for an old man (90 years of age) is to sit at my PC and pay homage to the style, timing, and class that they embodied.
The fitness level and skill of the old Hollywood 'hoofers' as they used to be known is off the chart. Gene Kelly was an unbelievably talented dancer. As for the first time I saw Donald O' Connor effortlessly dance up an actual wall? (no camera trickery). It was breath taking.
@@ElissaStelzner Could you post more old movie clips of Michael Jackson songs cause they will go together well. Especially Wanna Be Starting Something, And Otters off the Off The Wall Album. I must say this was a great era of songs before the Thriller album, so much that I always got both albums mixed up cause the songs sound very similar.
I’ve got MAD RESPECT for Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly & Donald O’Connor!! Those cats have got serious rhythm!! You could synchronize any R&B tune to their dancing skills and they would light it up!!
A testament to two things: The master talent of the dancers and the timelessness of Michael Jackson’s music produced by Quincy Jones. A lot of greatness happening here!
I think I've seen every one of the movies these dances were taken from. I grew up watching the musicals from the 40s. Great job syncing the music and the dancing.
@@edbackos8456 White Christmas with Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney, and the powerhouse dancer in the clips, Vera Ellen. It's available on most of the streaming services these days. Wonderful movie. Lots of fun.
Great... Michael Jackson's type of Entertainment. Can you believe he sang A song THAT COULD BE USED AND CHOREOGRAPHED BY MULTI TYPES OF DANCE MOVEMENTS AND BE IN SYNC....... THAT WAS MJ....THE ABSOLUTE ENTERTAINER.
Very clever indeed and loads of fun. _Off the Wall_ is one of my favourite albums of all time, and Fred Astaire is watchable any day of the week - pure class. Thank you!
Fred Astaire is my #1 idol. I adore him, love his style and grace and elegant form and wish only that he had been born, say, a decade or two later just bc by the time the films began, he was already in his 30s. Imagine how cool it would have been to watch him grow from a young adult into his 20s with his talent and energy! (Not that I can think of anything in particular we missed as a result of him starting late but still…) 👏👏👏👏👏
Absolutely astonishing how well-done this is!! I’m an Apache and we simply observe, mainly. Not many comments. But this one makes me want to dance again. So thanks!!!!!😀
Great movie! But who was the young man dancing with the blond lady. She's wearing white and he is wearing the green outfit. He is a great dancer., Just wish y knew his name.
@@Tmeister677 That was a really fabulous dancer by the name of VERA ELLEN, sadly she died too soon as she was a stunning dancer and as beautiful as she was stunning.
Love watching these amazing dancers...esp the gal in White Christmas (the dancer in the post foto). She was the best dancer in Hollyweird at the time. And miss our MJ. 💙 nice film to music editing! God bless Gene Kelly's genes.
Love the mash up. What a god Gene Kelly was. What I've give to be able to move and look like him. Everyone in this is wonderful and beautiful. Pure joy!
absolutely fantastic! just shows the timelessness of those dance routines and yes the awesome skills of Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire in particular and Michael Jacksons music.
Masterful compilation … this was excellent. I STILL think Gene Kelly could beat out anyone today. You do t realize how much energy/ stamina/rhythm that guys had.
Gene Kelly was made of 100% human muscular tissue. He was artistic and athletic in perfectly blended measure and that is why he could move like there was no gravity.
You can see MJ in their dance steps! You can even see a few of his videos too. I saw smooth criminal and the bar scene from you rock my world! That was so fun to watch! 😁 💖 🤗 MJ really captured the essence of all these great dancers.
@ZACHARIAS PLANK: Madame X couldn’t have put it better! I’m about to share this video, & if you don’t mind, I’ll use your/her comment 💃 From Brighton 🌈 UK, take care & be well! 🙏🏽💔🙏🏻
I'm loving this .😃😃😄.they put this together very well.I sure do misses Sir Michael Jackson. Long live the king of pop.also some of these people dancing is legendary. Respect to them also.this is my favorite song.
So much fun to watch. It must have taken hours and hours to not only find these movie clips, but choose just the right dances to go with the music! Well done!
That was Excellent all the way. Much hard work to coordinate the steps with Michael. Sammy Davis Jr. Actually Did the Moon Walk. King of Pop Lives in everyone's memory. Thank you.
Now that's swagger at 00:41. The professionalism and talent to make it look so effortless and light on his feet to look like he is literally floating, is off the charts.
The really cool thing about this is that Michael Jackson was one of the few people who ever could have seen ALL these dance moves and legitimately think “I could do that.”
Michael was fond of Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers. But once James Brown came years later on the scene, that was a wrap. 🕺❤❤❤🎼 He became a king of pop music.
His lines are so clean and he is so smooth and liquid. His timing is incredible. He wanted to be a drummer, and started dancing with his sister. They were very famous back in the day. His favorite partner was Rita Hayworth, but I love seeing him dance with Ginger!
I know I love how effortless they make it look. But when you watch how much work and teamwork that goes into the performance... That's just wow!! Thanks for sharing!!
This is so cool. Reminds me of the Uptown Funk video. This video is celebrating all the GOATs, including the King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson. Great job to whomever edited this video. Timing of the music and clips together were so good. 😎👍
This was a joy to watch. Thank you for making this. The editing was on point. I'd love to see a list of al of the films featured in the video. I love old movies and some of these scenes making me want to watch some I didn't recognize.
To the creator what an Amazing video! I've watched it 5 times and I absolutely love it! Please keep em coming . Thank you for using MJ's music I love hearing it cause I MISS HIM SO MUCH!!! #4evermjlegacy #michaeljackson #4everkingofpop👑❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I've forgotten how gorgeous Vera Ellen's legs were in that White Christmas piece as she's high kicking. A Goddess dancer with the body that lived up to the description. WOW. Even though before my time, I still love the days when people would dance together and enhance each other instead of today's "look at me doing my own thing" dancing that's done. A lost art that should have never been lost. Even Michael Jackson failed to dance with someone else in a flawless duo like they did back then.
HI Ronald. I am bang up there with you and your praise of Vera Ellen, for me (Just MY opinion) she was the very best of the female dancers, Sadly she died at a relatively young age, but as I am a very old man I remember her so well, and I recall being devastated when she died.
Not only is the production really good with impeccable timing, but the selection of many of these old time dance pieces really made me smile. Such a joyous video!
No - I’m not nostalgic for the past…but oh! How I love this edit….‘Life on Mars’ was me, aged 14 & a half, except that MGM Musicals were very real to me…I would go home & sketch the costumes, the principle reason why I learned to make clothes… Later, when I had a daughter who trained as a dancer, my early inspiration helped me to make stage costumes for real! In the video, I was reminded of Anne Miller’s amazing green dress for ‘Prehistoric Man’ - the design (by Helen Rose?) was so clever, as it appeared to be a ‘normal’ day dress - but the freedom of movement was built into the costume! Thank you for your wondrous edit - I can now study the details all over again! 💐 Any chance of THE SKIRT, worn by Cyd Charrise in ‘Silk Stockings’ - you probably know the one I mean (the one with the pleats?), although I have a feeling that two skirts were finally used… From Brighton 🌈 UK, take care & be well! 🙏🏻💔🙏🏽
It is a fun video because I adore Michael and old musicals. But I still wish you would have either found another song to match these musical!!! I believe you did it in the past and his was awesome!!! Love it!!!!!
Oh Yeah, I remember these, Frank, Fred, Sammy, Shirley and all the others - Perfect match right, Michael loved these guys, just loved 'em. Great enjoyment to see them again! Thank you, I was grinning the whole time:)
This was a special time for dancers . They were pulling off Amazing dance moves . Sadly we don't see much of this anymore . Hey remember White Christmas the movie . Remember the tiny little blind dancer , Wasn't she Something to watch ? Well know not many of U will know this . That was the Last time she ever danced or did movies she had her child pass away & I think the loss broke her . Sad she was so ething else to see on stage . Tiny Beautiful You g Woman may Ur Heart have Found The Peace U Lost . I know U did because in Death U were able To Be With The Child who Took Ur Heart Away at Their Moment Of Death . Rest In Peace U Most Beloved Dancer . With Love , Peace & Light . In Death I will be granted the Chance to Meet You Angel of Dance . Spirit Walker 55
When you think of the fact that there are only 7 notes in music, it's theoretically very easy to put any type of dance to any type of music, provided the tempo is relatively the same. Having said that, I LOVE these comps and am always looking for more. Thanks for posting. And THANK YOU for listing the movies!!
Wow. All those stars, if alive, would be thrilled by this. I was privileged to have worked at The Beverly Hills Hotel for years in the early-mid 1980's, rising to become Night Manager. In my video about Diana Ross "The Boss" I speak of other stars I served & especially Ginger Rodgers, who'd come down to the Front Desk on my night shift & talk with me, night after night. How sweet. Who am I? HA! I'd drive through Beverly Hills Residential to get to work & one afternoon saw Ann Miller walking her dog. Of course, I'm not going to bother her, but I lightly tapped the horn & waved at her, and she looked over and waved back at me. I was there at the hotel to serve and protect all the guests, no matter their wealth or fame. Just wonderful, your video. Michael Jackson... he mentioned in the Diana Ross video. I just forgot to tell that brief story, about how he does not speak in that childlike tone, but his voice is in that adult male range. His stage voice is precisely that. Just one amazing artist who has brought such joy in my life. This video brings such joy too. Love, from Reno.

All I know is that this is a unique representation of MJ at his best with the dance moves to match. Excellent job 👏 ❤️
I've always wanted to see Fred Astaire dance to "Sharp Dressed Man" by ZZ Top.
Please?
Or put your own video out. Clowns
It's wonderful, Elissa.
@@helenfitch3440 I would if I could, but I lack the requisite talent to do something this freakin awesome.
The great thing about this video is that Michael was a huge fan of old musicals ! Those dancers were his idols !
I heard when he did his first moonwalk ..Fred Astaire rang him and complimented him
I heard that about Fred Astaire too. I thought that was a fantastic thing for him to do since Michael Jackson was such a fan of his.
You could totally see it in his moves. That's what makes the greats legendary; learn from the best and put your own spin on it.
I love the old musicals and dancing such as Fred and Ginger.
😊
I am 80 and grew up watching most of these musicals. Your video clips show the younger generation what great moves these dancers created. Wonderful clips.
@@Robert_Robertson Judy Garland with Gene Kelly.
I remember these as well. It seems like every movie was a musical. The actors always broke into song and dance, except the westerns and horror movies
When dancing was dancing.
Yep, when a lot of things were what they were and not identifying as something else!
I'm trying hard not to make an idiotic response
You know gam gam and pop pop weren't doing this when they went out dancing right?
@@jameyst.peters4678 Wow, that was deep.
Was it? Cos younwas acting like folks burst into song and dance choreographed routines have slowly descended into mindless gyrations. You're watching idealistic musicals. It's not a historical documentary. You can still very much see this kind of dancing and singing if you watch musicals from today too.
It was a real treat to watch these amazing dancers to MJ's music.
Even more amazing than the editing is the fact that someone has actually seen and remembers the dance sequences from so many vintage films.
thank you!! I'm a film student and have been studying old musicals in my spare time so it came naturally lol
Awesome job!

Totally agree! My personal favourite is Fred Astaire, but they were all remarkably talented. Great days!
I agree all the way. Some of the rehearsals must have been grueling.
I know that scene well, from, 'Singin' In The Rain'. O' Connor, as with many of his peers, could dance up a storm.
Brilliant.
The person that synchronized this video is a GENIOUS. Wonderful masterpiece. Kudos
thank you so much!!
Yes❗️synchronised at a degree of excellence❗️soooooo cool😎😎😎😎

Donald O'Connor was so underrated!
Agreed - never got the true amount of recognition he so thoroughly deserved.
I’ve got MAD RESPECT for Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly & Donald O’Connor!! Those cats have got serious rhythm!! You could synchronize any R&B tune to their dancing skills and they would light it up!!
You forgot all the women dancers!
Vera-Ellen could dance as well as any of the men. (Besides being a total doll! So sad she passed at only 60 years old.)
I could watch that until I fell asleep at my keyboard.
don't forget the Nicholas brothers
What about the kid's? Sherlly Temple and others.
Incredible production!!! Love the creativity of mixing this music with all these old movies. Congratulations!
thank you so much!
ME, TOO! ❤❤❤🕺💃
@@ElissaStelzner ... are you the one who compiled & edited this??

No one can dance as great as these top dancers just Brilliant!! ♥️♥️
I'm huge fan of all these old dancing movies. I love watching these compilations

The best compliment you can give Ginger Rogers is that she matched every move that Fred Astaire made.......except backwards and in high heels.
Exactly!! 😊
Have just accidentally found Tony Coates. Love them. What a joy to watch. Not enough dancing and joy in films these days. Keep doing it. 🎉🎉🎉
Sammy dancing on the bar while shooting pistols... you gotta love that one!
Yeh..but most don't know it but Sammy was one of the best real gunslingers in Hollywood. Check out his gunslinging skills.
Absolutely wonderful. The hours spent finding the right moves to go with the music.
*Amazing how it ALL works with these old film dances!* _Epic_
Absolutely astonishing how well-done this is!! I’m an Apache and we simply observe, mainly. Not many comments. But this one makes me want to dance again. So thanks!!!!!😀

Sweet! Apache and Cherokee here ( and two other non-Native American ancestries ).
I agree, but I didn’t get what you meant by observing and usually no comment because you’re an Apache. What did you mean by that?

He was fantastic! So masculine🥰
Fred Astaire was unbelievably talented, followed by Gene Kelly. They were the very best!
Gene Kelly was made of 100% human muscular tissue. He was artistic and athletic in perfectly blended measure and that is why he could move like there was no gravity.
5 heel clickers on roller skates while feigning losing balance then running msn finish smile for the camera all in 1 take amazing

This was a special time for dancers . They were pulling off Amazing dance moves . Sadly we don't see much of this anymore . Hey remember White Christmas the movie . Remember the tiny little blind dancer ,
Wasn't she Something to watch ?
Well know not many of U will know this . That was the Last time she ever danced or did movies she had her child pass away & I think the loss broke her .
Sad she was so ething else to see on stage .
Tiny Beautiful You g Woman may Ur Heart have Found The Peace U Lost .
I know U did because in Death U were able To Be With The Child who Took Ur Heart Away at Their Moment Of Death .
Rest In Peace
U Most Beloved Dancer .
With Love , Peace & Light .
In Death I will be granted the Chance to Meet You Angel of Dance .

What a great song of the greatest singer, you're beautiful video is awesome to all a great mix dance in one song. Thank you. God Bless.
thank you so much!
When you think of the fact that there are only 7 notes in music, it's theoretically very easy to put any type of dance to any type of music, provided the tempo is relatively the same. Having said that, I LOVE these comps and am always looking for more. Thanks for posting. And THANK YOU for listing the movies!!
Wow. All those stars, if alive, would be thrilled by this. I was privileged to have worked at The Beverly Hills Hotel for years in the early-mid 1980's, rising to become Night Manager. In my video about Diana Ross "The Boss" I speak of other stars I served & especially Ginger Rodgers, who'd come down to the Front Desk on my night shift & talk with me, night after night. How sweet. Who am I? HA! I'd drive through Beverly Hills Residential to get to work & one afternoon saw Ann Miller walking her dog. Of course, I'm not going to bother her, but I lightly tapped the horn & waved at her, and she looked over and waved back at me. I was there at the hotel to serve and protect all the guests, no matter their wealth or fame.
Just wonderful, your video. Michael Jackson... he mentioned in the Diana Ross video. I just forgot to tell that brief story, about how he does not speak in that childlike tone, but his voice is in that adult male range. His stage voice is precisely that. Just one amazing artist who has brought such joy in my life. This video brings such joy too. Love, from Reno.
After watching it two times I'm still enjoying it perfect choice of music.💖
thank you!!
