One of these dancers seems to be a little more into The Nitty Gritty dance than the others. Filmed on The Judy Garland Show in 1964 this entertaining dance clip seems to have left the hosts of the show more exhausted than the dancers. “The Nitty Gritty” was written by Lincoln Chase in 1963 and recorded by soul music singer Shirley Ellis.
