Featured review
Here's One Worth Getting Back To
Cab Calloway leads his orchestra in this song, with Dotty Saulters offering a winsome performance of the lyrics in this 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.
Calloway made a lot of soundies. As one of the leading Black orchestra leaders of the era, his presence on the Panoram must have garnered a lot of dimes, especially with a nice number like that one.
