Well Clifford,
Lets see the brothers when they had passed being professionals and were amateurs.
Morning Clifford,
I am a bit of a nut for tapping. I think the NIcholas brothers are the best tappers, I think Eleanor Powell is the most musical tapper. Fred is a great tapper and the force that set the rules by which tappers were filmed, this is full body with the complete dance, Gene was the most imaginative choreographer, the dream sequences in Singing in the Rain and American in Paris are the best . Which tappers do you like, or routines?
