They were miracles. Both Shirley Temple and Bogangles.❤

❤️❤️❤️❤️

She puts his hand on her chest.. its weird dude..

I wonder what it's like to be married to Phyllis Brooks . She so beautiful and talented ❤❤❤❤

I love this type of music in this era . They sound so Heavenly 😌😌😌🏖🏝

There is such joy on her face when she dances with him.

You could tell that he loved dancing with her, no one dances that way today, what a lost.

So much talent. Nothing Hollywood has today. I loved her movies❤❤❤❤

He sure must be wealthy to have all those expensive, prestigious paintings of little kids.

Love these talented twosome…could watch them tap forever!

Same❣️

9:23 tin man !

WOW THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! 😮 why don’t people tap any more?

What a delight Bill Bojangles Robinson was. I was very taken by him when I first saw his stair routine with Temple. Treasured talents. Adorable and all the talent given made a unique surprise that could not have been better or topped by anyone. What happy scenes.

WOW

Too bad we have no film on Bill Robinson when he was much younger.

A box of rocks could do a better job than camel hair ass

The best movies and dancers. They don't make them like that anymore.what a shame

I’m in my mid 60s and I’m a second generation dancer. My mother also took tap from Bill Robinson when she was a little girl. He taught a lot of the kids from the MGM and other studios during that era. What was genius about his teaching is that he never taught kids to do a slow shuffle otherwise known as front back step. He taught them fast shuffles to four-year-olds. My mother at her dance studio kept that tradition and I also kept that tradition for 40 years. Little kids can tap Dance. Under six years old they can’t do much ballet at least proper ballet. But they can tap. And they can talk well. Because all they’ve been doing for their first few years of life is going right left right left right left on the walking and running. 80% of the challenge of tap dancing is weight change. Not only was Bill Robinson was an incredible tapdancer himself. He was an amazing teacher to young children!

Love these old movies studied film at lavcc😊

❤️

Shirley was told that she was not to hold hands will Bill but she wouldn't have it! ❤ Also the 2 were the first black and white couple to dance together on the screen.

noticed all three OZ guys. Last song - I used to tell my kids to go out and pitter patter and they had no idea what I was talking about.

Shirley and her favorite dancing partner had a great deal of love for each other. It really shows. I still would like to know why didn't they fly the American flag half staff when she passed. She served as an ambassador 2 times for the United States of America. She deserved that respect and love from the United States. And Mr. Robinson deserves it also. ❤️🇺🇸🇺🇦🇮🇱🦋

Watching this and the talent this man had, but knowing he taught himself

Bill Bojangles Robinson died broke. Ed Sullivan paid for his funeral and proper burial.

I actually met Phil when he had a bbq i n northern California. Yes it was Phil and I am old. Bu🎉I wanted to know about Alice. I also met Cab Calloway. I should be carbon dated. I rarely age. I can post recent pics. I believe Jesus has kept me

i guess that was their fast and furious😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I’ve always loved this song❤

Bill was remarkable & Shirley learned his complex choreographies. Amazing.

I could watch that tap dancing for ever. I used to be able to do all those steps too. Too old now, unfortunately my feet have lost the required coordination to move that fast.

Does anyone remember the song "Mr. Bojangles" by the Nity Gritty Dirt Band? I don't think it was entirely about Bill Robinson, but I believe he was the inspiration for it. It's a rather melancholy, but touching song.

The very last of Shirley's childhood films. Young People really showed her as more of an adolescent. I loved this song on the record album i had too!

Oh that outfit!! Saw it in the Shirley Temple auction and i was two feet away from those gorgeous silver shoes and photographed them. So beautiful her mom kept every outfit packed away so beautifully! I love her longer hairstyle in this number as well. We can totally suspend believability in the fact that the whole courtroom just became Times Square for a trial because it's just so fun!

Im an old washed-up UnReconstructed Virginian who grew up watching these Shirley Temple movies after Sunday Worship Services, waitin' for Mama to set table for Sunday Dinner. We loved blackfolks & they us. We worked together commercial fishing & respected one another. I wish I was as light on my feet as Bill Robinson was in his prime with little Shirley as his dance partner. It brings tears of joyful fond reflection. You think the SAVIOUR won't get these two to dance, again, at the everlasting celebration in Heaven? I think HE may. My Pappy & his crew will catch some fish to broil for the heavenly hosts to eat while we watch. All of us will be so close to HIM and see HIS smile. Mistrust, segregation, and contention was a Yankee invention forced upon us. They destroyed our culture bc they wd have dominion over all of us - rich, poor, black, white, young, & old. DEO Vindice

This is just perfect in so many ways. Thank you so much!

It's Jack Haley the Tin Man

Not sure why, but there's something that feels extra wholesome about seeing Shirley Temple talking to (albeit an imitator of) Abraham Lincoln.

He was wonderful…so fun to watch! I’m sitting here with a big smile on my face!! lol….❤

#midgetproblems

I can't believe how good this is.

almost reminds me of the andrew sisters

What a scene of beauty to the eyes and a voice of beauty to the ears, and both converging to fill the heart

Девочка необыкновенная, прелесть смотрю и пересматриваю ее фильмы.

❤❤❤

Just a baby. With all her loose curls before they were so styled looking. She was so adorable.

Really plain girls with plain hair are always selected to surround Shirley on film. Mrs Temple didnt want the third Bryan sister, Gwen, to appear with Shirley in the Be Optimistic number because she was too small and cute, so the studio paid Gwen not to appear and Shirley only sings with the two girls. The sisters weren't happy about it but since gwen was paid anyway and they needed the money, they agreed.

Au delà de la performance, quelle horreur cette robe !

Девочка очень талантливая и очень симпатичная .
