Take a peek at this amazing video of Mable Lee, the sassy chanteuse and jazz dancer with the million-dollar legs! Mable is often called ‘Queen of the Soundies’ – an early version of  music videos three-minute musical films, produced in New York, Chicago, and Hollywood between 1940 and 1946.  If you’ve never seen a soundies have a hunt for them. There’s some great ones with Fats Waller, my personal favourites !

Anyway, after you’ve seen ‘the legs’ speed through the wooden looking white folks and straight to the jams at the end. There’s some pearlers!

I love clips like this…they remind you that dancing is just fun, done rhythmically
