Can ANYONE acknowledge the GREAT Harold Nicholas???


PLEASE, PLEASE,
Somebody acknowledge the very important part of Hoffer Supreme, Star of Film & Stage. One half of the famed Nicholas Brothers. He along with his brother Fayard could outdance, "Dresser", James Brown and the Temptations all rolled into one. But through all of your posts. Not one word about ole' Sarge,
as his true talented self as Harold Nicholas! Shame, shame!

I am glad that who ever did the casting remember him. Both the very versatile Nicholas brothers should have been continuously working in America in films and TV through their careers. Racism was a major part of the reason and the fact that few people remember or knew about their multi talents because they had to leave the country for decades to get work.

He was a legend. One of the Forefather's of tap dancing.
Such flair and showmanship. You don't see that anymore.

I must mention the incomparable Ms Diane Carol as well.
