Cream !!!

I'm always craking up when they're zoomed in on him saying alot of nothing. 0:57

Greatest covers of all time: Whitney Houston: I will always love you Johnny Cash: Hurt Tom Cat: Is you is or is you ain't my baby

cal cabway's, it's blk man,

Play the one about your mama.

What's the name of the song?

At the end when they all just open up, it is sublime!

Great orooni

She's the intertainer and the intertained.

She was a genius of her own

I always loved this version best‼️🌟🌹

So that's how Primus learned their licks 😂

Where has this version been my entire life? OMG

Beautiful Woman ❤.

Takes me back to high school in 50s

S/O to CGA

What a voice on that bass player ! He could just as easily have made a career as a vocalist

These guys are cooking on gas ! Love Charlie T's trumpet work, he blows me away. I've just watched this 10 times in a row (and I doubt that I'm at the end of this viewing session). A "Billy Eckstine greatest hits mix" brought me here, and I'm mighty glad it did ! 🙂

I met Mr. Gaillard in London, waiting for a bus outside the Selfridges Food Hall, where he had been buying bagels at their Jewish deli. Presumably to dunk when he returned home. He invited me to his performance that night at the Chelsea Arts club where he had a residency. The man was a multi talented genius in several fields, from music to linguistics. A Jazz giant with gigantic charisma.

Amazing talent

That vibrato ..I can’t

In my blue heaven: they'll have a big revival when I show up a live orchestra of pure Angels swinging low and hard will produce this one song attributed to the trials and the tribulations that woman put me through the 19 nervous breakdowns the almighty will be chilling tapping his feet to these blues while in the correct tempo and showing rhythm while bestowing pardons left and right without looking back lacking malice the shadows dissolve of themselves finally vanished from memory.

“Fine and Mellow” is exactly what this treasure is of them this is real music!!,

They were delightful; special nod to his bassist.

This is not from a feature-length movie, it's a "Soundie" from 1942. Soundies were short film clips played on a loop for ten cents a piece on a video jukebox called a "Panoram." Basically, very early music videos. The dance instructor/choreographer was Leroy Broomfield (1902-1971). He was originally from Omaha, Nebraska, but studied and performed in L.A., China and New York. He produced revues at the Ubangi Club in Harlem in the late 1930s. This routine is likely to be a mix of nightclub acts. According to Mark Cantor's 2023 book on Soundies, the dancers were: Elizabeth Spratley, Arthur Murray, Lester "Sleepy" Williams, Elizabeth "Chinkie" Grimes, Johnny Thomas, Henry Roberts, possibly Leroy Broomfield himself and possibly Lucille Battle.

This is where Flavor Flav got his face pulling from.

His hair is crazy! 😅

And Ray Charles and Billy j

Mr. Peabody brought me here !

Acting like N.

1:52 That drummer had me rolling with laughter 🤣

Iconic beauty

Multilevel a musica i multipli

My favourite kind of R&B, but not heard or seen this before! His singing sounds a bit like my R&B hero: Roy Brown! Could he be a relation?

I just know that Elvis covered this on one of his live appearances in I think 1955

Check out the Helen Forrest/Benny Goodman version of this song, too.

My fav singer

Bolans version is far better.

I still love Lisa Gaye

Wikipedia says there's no proof of romance/sex between Billie & Lester. Wikipedia has never seen this film.

Good!!!

She was beautiful and very talented.

Wonder how much those exact guitars would be worth today

He directed the band with his whole body.

Alternate "Minnie the Moocher" -- kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oa10atx43eCqnoU.html I used to see him on TV. And the incredible Pearl Bailey.

Her name is spelled "Mable," like "table," she would say.

Even with his name on, arguably, the most famous guitar of all time, most people are ignorant to his contributions to music, as well as his immense talent.

whoa, now thats some incredible shredding

too good to have the video so far off synch with the audio
