What moves! I used to love to watch my Mom, her sisters & Cousin at weddings, etc. on the dance floor doing the Lindy. They all taught me, but at 66 still never found any women that could cut a rug like my female relatives.

I first saw Jewel McGowan in 'Buck Privates', starring Abbott & Costello, in 1955 at the age of 12. She made my hormones scream.

I never knew who she was - which is understandable, since she never got billed by name in these movies - but when I just watched another KZfaq video with her identified, I thought - I've seen her before, in other old movies. And here she is, in a bunch of those same movies.

Yes the women were gorgeous in those days. Today you got nothing but women that look like they were manufactured in a factory. Big asses big lips big boobs tiny noses and Botox and the plastic surgeries. Most of these actors/actresses look pretty awful

Well, if the truth be told, almost ALL the great popular Yankee version dances from the Lindy to the Rhumba, Yankee style again, to the Samba to La Bamba even to the Tango, I mean the American Tango that my folks Veloz and Yolanda made so popular, NOT the Argentine Tango -- so don't scream at me again all you Argies, had their roots to one degree or the other deeply in the amazing American black sub-culture, Frankie Manning the sort of godfather of swing or Lindy, whom sadly passed a few years ago, a wonderful man, and best of friends with my step mom, Jean Veloz. Even the great Vernon and irene Castle that ruled over the TEENS of the 20th century, introduced an all Black orchestra that they travelled with. And of course White america's youth in the late 30's expropriated the boogie boogie, cake walk, which the Castles sort of lifted from the black dancers of the era, renaming it the Castle Walk, always played to that terrific old ragtime tune, TOO MUCH MUSTARD... and all those famed animal themed dances from earlier years like the bunny hug or the turkey trot or the Grizzly...America was agog over these magical inventions of Black America, blended with young, white Americas enthusiasm to try and keep up with the black originators, which is what my father, Frank veloz, did in what were called black and tan clubs, half white, half black, which made old fogies in the USA a tad nervous, as usual. Why my ole man, Frank veloz, was once arrested for performing these tricks he learned from the black and tan clubs, which were quite wholesome due to the fact that you simply couldn't dance very well, all hammered on bathtub gin or anything else if you wished to compete at an elite level. Anyhow. so some mean female cop -- which I didn't even know existed then -- tried to arrest my poor dad for "Immoral Dancing" atop some huge Old fashioned Catholic church on the west side of old Manhattan where both my folks grew up, my mom from Little Italy, but back to the church top attempt at arresting my dad, well an elderly and pugnacious Irish fellow named Monsignor Curry, interceded on my dad's behalf, and said, in his thick brogue, if anything immoral were to happen up upon this blessed roof, well that was under HIS jurisdiction and purview, and he'd sooner fight Ireland than let some infernal virago flatfoot start giving' him advice and orders, do y'see, and he tossed her godforsaken arse down the holy steps, saying he had lots of clout with Irish cops he knew since their childhood and far better placed than she, do you hear me, lass, not to mention holy Jasus hisself and throw in the holy ghost while you're at it and let yer better not be after interfering with God's will, once more, nor my own, and to watch her step henceforth, and keep her unwanted opinions to herself, concerning immoral dancing nor aught else, because, in his opinion, she was in no wise better than a frustrated jackass and windbag, And perdition catch me e're I am ever after allowing some bag-a-bones daughter of an onion come waltzing into the Lord's sacred turf...disgracing all sense of decency with her over ripe blasphemy and hubris as if presuming to tell the good Lord his duty and will! Fie on ye, girl, and fie on all such nosey fiends from hell that be yer bedfellows!"

Guy Veloz when you were referring to Vernon and Irene Castle's all Black orchestra, I assume you were talking about the great bandleader James Reese Europe. Who incidentally we're going COMPLETELY left out of the 1939 movie biography The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle. I read that when this movie was being written, Mrs. Castle was a consultant and provided "historical" input. I wonder who's decision was it to make no mention of James Reese Europe's contribution to the Castle's success.

Jewel is a beautiful and skilled dancer but who ever edited these clips together is from a different era that has a short attention span. I’d rather see her in full length segments I’d punch the like button just for her but that would only reinforce the madness of the editor.
@MamboManic Жыл бұрын
Are there any full length clips of her dancing available anywhere? I assume that Nick used whatever clips were available to him. By the way, Nick is one of the top Lindy dancers in the world today. I’m sure he didn’t get that good with a short attention span.
@RobertEdwardsOfEarth11 жыл бұрын
I think that last clip is a good example of why people don't dance double time much. It looks really out of place, like they are dancing to a totally different song.
