Synopsis by Jason Buchanan

A compendium of talented harmonizing featuring twenty hits by such legendary artists as The Delta Rhythm Boys, The Charioteers, and The Mills Brothers, this collection of rare Soundies originally produced between 1941 and 1947 offers a compelling look at the precursor to the modern music video. Willy popular in their day despite the lack of Panorams (the device that the films were shown on) during the war, these films have finally resurfaced to showcase some of the most popular musical artists of the time.
