sing brother sing: the mills brothers & the delta rhythm boys

January 21 movie: Sing Brother Sing: The Mills Brothers & the Delta Rhythm Boys. A collection of soundies, half the Delta Rhythm Boys and half the Mills Brothers. I had heard of the Delta Rhythm Boys but I don't think I had heard anything by them before.

The DVD included a performance from the Nat King Cole television show, which was also on that Net King Cole DVD we just watched. But the highlight of the disc was the Mills Brothers singing "Caravan." Wow.

Was the performance of "Caravan" this clip, or a different one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14QEoEIvUuk

(Bruce Baugh linked to this some weeks ago with the title "Breakdancing 1942".)

The very one! Isn't it amazing? The DVD didn't include the dialogue, just the singing and dancing.
