Description:
Before music videos and widespread television, there were Soundies. Introduced in 1941, these three-minute black-and-white films showcased leading artists of the Big Band, Jazz, and Swing era, including Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Louis Jordan, Louis Armstrong, and many others. Soundies helped launch the careers of stars like Doris Day, Nat King Cole, and Liberace. Shown on a machine called a Panoram in public places across the U.S., these precursors to music videos offer a glimpse into music, social history, and popular culture during a pivotal time in American history – a period shaped by war, race relations, and new technologies.
