I just found two scarce ones with John Bubbles.

Lemme know - gotta find the links again.

Was one of them this one from Mark Cantor's YouTube channel? That clip was really hard to find before he posted it (I had never seen it until he showed it in SF last year, I think).

Anyway, I'm always interested in tap dance clips.

No, but I am about to watch that now. I am partial to John Bubbles and the way he dances and sings. Man has a lot of soul. I have an LP he recorded back in the 60s, IIRC, and he still sounded good.

Here's what I found.

Liebe, Tanz und 1000 Schlager - 1955

Thx for the tip on the clip. Playing it again. :)

I went to one of Mark Cantor's earliest shows back in the late 70s in Old Town Pasadena when it was more like Mold Town Pasadena. He played a number of clips and then pulled out "I Wished On the Moon" in one of those old 'follow the bouncing ball' films. And people began singing along with the movie. No inhibitions about 'singing in public'. I didn't know the tune well at the time, so I didn't join their happy group.

I think this was it -
