The Soundies
A History and Catalog of Jukebox Film Shorts of the 1940s
Samenvatting
The 1940s saw a brief yet audacious experiment in mass entertainment: a jukebox with a screen. Patrons could insert a dime, then listen to and watch such popular entertainers as Nat ‘King’ Cole, Gene Krupa, Cab Calloway or Les Paul. For the first time, the history of these early music videos is explored in depth.
