Hank Williams- Hey Good Lookin’
There’s hardly any footage of the great Hank Williams Sr. Here’s some of it.
The Bettie Page Workout
Bettie has more charm in her eyebrows than a billion Paris Hiltons.
Note that in spite of what the sign says at the beginning, the correct spelling is Bettie.
Brigitte Bardot/Serge Gainsbourg: Comic Strip
Johnny Hallyday: Not Get Out
Meet Johnny Hallyday… the French Elvis.
Not get out!
You’re driving me bats!
You and that bunch of Harlem cats…
Get lost!
Monkey of the Week, April 27, 2007: Pussycat-A-Go-Go
Do the monkey!
Sonny King: I Cried Over You
Another great Scopitone…
Brook Benton: Mother Nature, Father Time
This ineptly-filmed surreal wonder is a scopitone, produced for a video jukebox of the same name. Here’s a blog featuring many more. Thanks to Mark Martin’s Jabberous blog for pointing this out!
What’s A Scopitone?
It’s a “Film Jukebox” invented in France in the early 1960’s (from surplus World War II airplane parts!) and also the films (the precursors of todays music videos) which played on it.
THE CARTOON CRYPT: I Ain’t Got Nobody (1932) : Sing Along With The Mills Brothers
I’m a big fan of Fleischer Studios cartoons and of Mills Brothers music… here are the two together.
The Mills Brothers were somewhat of a novelty act, since the only instrument they used in the 30’s was a guitar… the rest of the “instruments” were produced by their voices. The music would be just as enjoyable without knowing this, though.
If you dig the music of the Mills Brothers, check out this well-made and inexpensive collection of their best recordings from JSP Records. You may wanna check out the rest of the stuff in the JSP Records catalog too… as well as Proper Records. Those two publishers are putting an amazing quantity of wonderful old music into well-researched, inexpensive cd box set collections.
