“A Zoot Suit” – Dorothy Dandridge

The Retronaut is on holiday for two weeks. During this time, we are showing a series of Soundies*.

…..

*Soundies were an early version of the music video: three-minute musical films, produced in New York, Chicago, and Hollywood between 1940 and 1946, often including short dance sequences. The films were displayed on the Panoram, a coin-operated film jukebox or machine music, in nightclubs, bars, restaurants, factory lounges, and amusement centers.
