Air Mail Special (1941) Online

This was another Soundie I watched on YouTube. In this one, Count Basie does a little rhyming rapping before going into this Benny Goodman instrumental composition. While he's playing, plenty of couples are jitterbugging constantly until, one by one, they get tired and start to fall down on the floor. One of the couples that keeps going seem to dance the same one every time the camera is on them. I'm sure it's the same sequence shown over and over. Guess who wins? Anyway, this was another "music video" of a certain period that played on Panorams (film jukeboxes) at various restaurants, bars, and train or bus stations. So on that note, Air Mail Special is worth a look for anyone interested in this sort of thing.
