102 y/o Dancer Sees Herself on Film for the First Time
UPDATE: A book featuring Alice has come out! The author Susan visited her before she passed, and it's a fascinating history of the importance of 'soundies' films. So amazing Alice could be a part of bringing all these artists of color the recognition they deserve! Link here: iupress.org/9780253058546/sou...

UPDATE: Alice passed away peacefully on Wednesday, April 6th, 2016. She spent the last day of her life in good spirits, enjoying listening to music and having her mail read to her. Thank you to all the thousands of fans who sent in cards, flowers, and art. You truly gave her deep joy and meaning in the last years of her life!

Alice Barker was a chorus line dancer during the Harlem Renaissance of the the 1930s and 40s. She danced at clubs such as The Apollo, Cotton Club, The Zanzibar Club, and on Broadway-with legends including Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly, and Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. Although she danced in numerous movies, commercials and TV shows, she had never seen any of them, and all of her photographs and memorabilia had been lost over the years.
After years of searching we found three "Soundies" Alice appeared in and were finally able to show them to her - she had never seen herself in motion in her life!
You can learn more about Alice at the little website we've set up for her: www.alicebarkernotbaker.com/
All of Alice's films from this video are collected here: • Alice Barker on Film
For more info about the dancers of the Harlem Renaissance, we recommend the lovely documentary "Been Rich All My Life" -several of the women in the film danced with Alice back in the day!
A little more about the who's who here: "We" are friends of Alice who searched for the films and made this video. I'm David Shuff, a volunteer who visits the home with my therapy dog Katie, and have known Alice for 8 years. The woman in the video is Gail Campbell, a recreation therapist (and an amazing one at that!). She never gave up on finding Alice's films, and uncovered the first piece of the puzzle that lead to us finding them - which was Alicia Thompson; a historian of black female performers who had been looking for Alice for years (her site is forclassicmovieloversonly.trip... and her KZhead channel is "MusicandDancing4Ever"). She told us that Alice was in films called 'soundies'.
Using that clue I found jazz historian Mark Cantor of jazz-on-film.com and he was able to send us three of Alice's soundies from his collection. Shortly afterwards Alicia got us a few more films.
This video was filmed on cellphones (and almost as an afterthought!) by my friends Darin Tatum and Tom Hunt.

@@g.valerie Ah! I'd hoped the upvotes would come to do that naturally, but thanks for the great tip!
@QtEcl1ps3 she passed away rest in peace 🥺
That's a shame to hear, that would have made her 109 though. What an amazing life she had!
many years from now, 100 year olds will be shown videos of themselves dabbing in 2016
it'd probably be in the stupidest things humanity has ever done in list of story lines and mistakes xD.

ya and Im going to be the grandpa to say it was fucking retarded.
dont forget about harambe's death

The fact is how she still remembers things at age 102.

One day she can dance with jesus
It broke me

Everyone commenting how sad this is but this video isn’t sad at all. She is 102 with her wits still with her and she seems to have lived a long fulfilling life full of adventure and doing what she loved. This isn’t sad this is a happy video.
sadness is a complex emotion
Bittersweet perhaps
It’s surreal I’d say more than sad Bittersweet is befitting as well Just so beautiful that they found films of her dancing
It is kinda sad because she lived that long but it was only breif enjoyment she can't relive it again it she's, hence that is the world we live in it's a breif enjoyment and the hear after is far better and forever if only we knew and if u don't believe in the hear after than ask yourself the same God who gave u live from nothing can do it again.

She’s still beautiful at 102. And she remembered everything.
When she said ; „I wish I could do that all again“ my heart melted 😢

I hear u on that
Yeah it literally made my heart melt. she’s so beautiful, I just love that she remembered all them times back then. 🥺🌸
Tea but...is not about that at all. She lived doing what she loved, while she could do it. That's admirable
Dani V. I agree with you, and I should be optimistic about the long life she did live and all she achieved, but I do feel a little sad over life being finite- all that being said you are correct
@@sunsetsmiles6940 Yea...I understand your opinion too.
It's so incredible to imagine that she was born in 1913, and while this video is almost a decade old by now and she's long gone already, it's still insane to think just how much she lived through. She lived through both world wars, has experienced the creation of the TV, colored film all the way to the creation of the computer, internet and smartphones and of course more.
So sad to think everyone in the dancing videos are dead….yet we are seeing them on this video in their youth, so young vibrant full of life. Life is crazy.
WOW, her memory is incredible. To be honest, her memory is sharper than mine.

You can tell she was beautiful. She looks incredible for 102. Her bone structure is stunning. Then I saw the film…wow. It has to be so hard to outlive everyone you knew and loved in your youth. She witnessed so many changes throughout her life. It makes my heart ache from the beauty, and the pain, all at once. Life is wild.
When she was dancing, so many decades ago, to think over 40 million people would watch her dancing would have seemed an impossible thought, yet it happened ❤
For 102 years old, she’s still got a sharp mind. She was very beautiful when she was young and she still is.
You'd smash

Wow, 102 and still beautiful! It must have been a thrill for Ms. Baker not only to have a chance to watch herself but to see the people in her room watching her, in awe of her talent and beauty- like a taste of how it must have felt on stage performing for an adoring crowd all those years ago. It’s a joy to see her reliving those days🥰
Gosh and here I was loosing my mind over turning 25 in January, makes me understand how much I need to enjoy these days. God bless her and her donations to theatre and cinema 🙏🏽🎶🤎
Young her didn’t even know that her 102 year old self would be watching , so cool to think about, what a pure soul

I also hate to be that guy but it's a stretch calling this woman "a pure soul" because of a wholesome moment where she watches herself dance from almost 100 years ago.
Its a heavy feeling to see someone so youthful and old at same time.
You’re so right
Right
hell yea
makes you want to jump up and dance!
Diferently from you , I have a terrible feeling , a feeling of deep sadness. That makes me realize how our life is temporary , how our life falls apart , how everything goes away ...
Who else got teary eyed and then made someone else watch this too?
Rest in peace to her. What a beautiful video.
It was indeed a beautiful video
Wasn’t she lovely, makes me so sad to think about how time is so ruthless
Yeah time will fuck you up
@Cartel Jenkins she means in general dumbass
She is still beautiful and looks like she lived a good life. Esp if you do what you love doing.. And because of that look she lived this long. Id like to think when we pass on we go to heaven when we were atbour prime. She will def dance again. Bless her...
She still is lovely 💙

What sucks is what we think we have to do to those people. Like PennyProud says in the comment below, it really depends on the toxic cocktail they are put on. That and the surgeons knife can be just as cruel as age.

"I wish i could get out of this bed and do it all over again" This line literally made me cry, i think only few of us are given the chance to do what we love the most in life..

It's only a job if you don't love it ! Happy teaching.
Not to be disrespectful but why you girls should use the word cry like everytime but ain't really crying?
Same

i bet when she was a dancer, all boys have crush on her
that would be depressing not having that no more.
