Martha Tilton - "A Little Jive Is Good For You" (1941)

I havent posted any music lately what a shock. This is one of those soundies from the 1940s. Its like the music videos of their day. I love this one a lot. The guy with the bandages on his head is hilarious and to me he looks a little bit of george bush jr which i could totally see acting like this dude for fun when he has had too much to drink or maybe not. Perhaps its just my vision of our past goofball president. Enjoy

    Thank you so much! I love that time in american music. All those blonde big band singers--Anita O'Day, Jo Stafford, Chris Connors really ruled.

    I don't know Martha Tilton so well but she has a
    great voice.

    And how amazing to dance as gracefully as the guy with his foot in a cast.
