Featured review
Mable Scott Trucks
The Flennoy Trio and Mable Scott perform a truckin' version of the song in this lively soundie.
Soundies were short films, about three minutes in length. The were meant to be played on a machine called a Mills Panoram, a video jukebox that was typically to be found in bars, lounges, and similar venues. You put a dime in and got a performance from the ten on the machine. The movies would be changed weekly, and from 1940 through 1946, Mills and other companies produced more than two thousand soundies.
For some reason, the trio are dressed like hayseed farmers, but Miss Scott wears a jumpsuit and puts a lot of energy into her performance.
