It's true that they feature a remarkable range of talent, from big-band luminaries like Duke Ellington and Count Basie to then-emerging stars like Doris Day and Ricardo Montalban, and lesser-known artists of the American nightclub circuit. But Soundies are also a rich, largely overlooked chronicle of American popular culture during and just after World War II. Produced for coin-operated jukeboxes in neighborhood bars and taverns, Soundies has an uncanny way of revealing what Americans were thinking about topics that weren't discussed openly, from sexuality to ethnicity and race. This four-disc collection presents a diverse sampling of 200 shorts, jazz, country-western, folk, and the boogie woogie roots of rock 'n' roll. 521 8 $a MWT rating: NR. 538 $a Blu-ray. 546 $a English audio. 546 $a English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing. 650 4 $a Classics. 650 4 $a Musical. 655 4 $a Musical. 700 1 $a Basie, Count 700 1 $a Calloway, Cab 700 1 $a Carmichael, Hoagie 700 1 $a Cole, Nat King 700 1 $a Dandridge, Dorothy 700 1 $a Day, Doris 700 1 $a Ellington, Duke 700 1 $a Montalban, Ricardo 700 1 $a Jones, Spike 700 1 $a Smythe, Vanita 700 1 $a Storm, Gale 700 1 $a Travis, Merle 700 1 $a Waller, Fats 856 7 $3 View cover art $u https://thumbnail.midwesttape.com/15793207_180.jpg $2 https 941 $a 1 945 $a blu 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125012635.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9331040A495811EE9228709642ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
