The Four Step Brothers were an African-American dance group, known for their tap dancing and acrobatic flash dancing. The quartet was the first black act to perform at Radio City Music Hall, the first to appear at the Chez Paree nightclub in Chicago, and the first to break television's color bar. Formed in the mid-1920s, the group was active, with various members, as late as 1970.
