I was hoping to score points by posting a clip of James Brown on the T.A.M.I. Show, or Christopher Walken in Pennies From Heaven. But no - this as close as youtube got. So, in lieu of the hardest working men in show business:

Django, & more Django.

A now-famous clip of Sister Rosetta Tharpe

Ella, Billie, Sarah, & Nina.

Ladies and gentlemen, Keith Richards.

Like you, James Brown is single, and he wants to mingle.

Alex Chilton & the Box Tops, performing The Letter.

Otis
Otis
& more Otis, this time in color.

The many moods of Eddie Cochran, & Jimi Hendrix's appearance on the Dick Cavett show (w/subtitles).

The Who open up whole new cans of whoop-ass... & - HOLY SHIT! - the Feelies!

Knock-kneed Hank Williams & Jimmie Rodgers.

Skip James, Gary Davis, & Brian Jones introducing Howlin' Wolf.

VU in NY; The Stooges, in Cincinatti.

Bill Grundy interviews the Sex Pistols & Johnny Cash on Sesame Street.

Duke Ellington & Whitey's Lindyhopppers, & Louis Jordan & the Nicholas Brothers.

Here's Jordan square dancing, a guy who rhymes in Aramaic, and Hey Ya!, as interpreted by "accordion master Jason Webley."

John Coltrane, Art Tatum, Thelonious Monk.

Jammin' The Blues, with Lester Young & Co.

&

don't you wish you could dance like this? Or this? Or this? Or this?
