This scene, from the wonderful 1943 film Stormy Weather, offers us Cab Calloway performing his 1939 hit, accompanied by the amazing dance team of Fayard and Harold Nicholas.

I've probably seen this song and dance scene a hundred times, but it never fails to cause my my jaw to drop. It's simply a joy to watch.

Has anyone got any of their favorite song and dance numbers to share? Feel free to link away!
