Dope you killed it shown incredible history historical history excellent work well done Love watching it

I lived in Harlem back in 1967; I was 6/7 years old. I don't where this was at, I was trying to see anything I recognized from back then, but I didn't notice anything in particular. It might have been not far from where my family and I lived. For most of the year we lived on 115th Street between Park and Lexington Avenues. In August my family and I moved to 118th Street between Fifth and Madison.

r u kidding me man! 50 seconds?! I could have watched this for hours.

Block parties were special back the whole day and night was exciting

You can see the origins of hip hop in the music and dance .

James brown-cold sweat

Tell me my man at 0:17 with the Fred Rerun Berry beret and moves isn't a few dances away from doing an all out "burn" on his opponent. The little kids dancing with him/ next to him are on some fly shit too. This video is a gem. thank you King Klast!

Yes I agree. It was actually the girls that started the burning. It wasn't until a few years later that it was more pronounced. We danced closer to the girls and the hand gestures were closer to the face. Great observation!

The year I was born 😊

I don't know where you got this footage from but this is something special. Wow. Different times in NYC.

I remember going to the block parties on my Grandmother’s block back then on 129th St bet 5th and Lenox, it was nothing but “GOOD TIMES, GOOD FOOD AND GOOD PEOPLE”.

Wow, I was 2yrs old. Love this ❤

If I can just jump into this photo and go back in time

You made my day! Thanks for sharing!

This was so fire gotta love it

Anyone remember Solomon Coleman owner of Bell, Cook and Candle, Goldbrick, Jumasol and Andre’s Bar from back in the day?

That interplay at 0:34 couple dancing, one guy walks by and does the exaggerated look back at the young lady, then the tall guy walks into frame, does a slick on beat scan of the girl and of the dude shes dancing with then continues walking. But notice her hand goes up in a "stop, keep walking" motion just as the tall guy approaches. So much information in this small clip. or I might be reading too much into it lol

BEAUTIFUL BLESSED BLACKNESS AND JAMES BROWNS MUSIC RULED!

Mr.James Brown keeps them dancing.

Beautiful

I'm starting a music page, can I use a snippet of this video? Giving you full credit of course

Is there anyway additional footage to this party? Also were there two record players at the beginning of this video or one? Looks the beginnings of hip-hop culture.

Quick question? Is there any 5%ers first born in any of this video shown. I don’t know the exact date of when this block party was recorded but the Father(Allah) was release from Mattawan State Hospital in 1967..... 9c footage

It was either 1967 or 1968, I think it was 67.
