Mable Lee Sizzles Too
Noble Sissle and his orchestra play the instrumental number, while Mable Lee struts her stuff in this lively late soundie.
Soundies were short films, about three minutes in length. The were meant to be played on a machine called a Mills Panoram, a video jukebox that was typically to be found in bars, lounges, and similar venues. You put a dime in and got a performance from the ten on the machine. The movies would be changed weekly, and from 1940 through 1946, Mills and other companies produced more than two thousand soundies.
Sissle is best remembered for his collaborations with Eubie Blake, not only songs like "I'm Just Wild About Harry", but early Broadway shows like the landmark SHUFFLE ALONG with an all-Black cast. He died in 1975 at the age of 86.
