Deuce Spriggins and the Plainsmen play the title song, while Carolina Cotton sways back and forth fetchingly 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.
I'm guessing that the recording this was drawn from was a trifle over three minutes, because the solos go at a fast clip, showing off some nice playing.
