Featured review
One Can Hope
Nat King Cole and his trio perform the title song, with Cole and Ida James doing the vocals.
It's one of more than two thousand "soundies" produced between 1939 and 1947, meant to be played on a device called a Mills Panoram. For seven years they could be found in bars, night clubs, and other places where people would gather. Think of them as music videos, available for viewing at a dime a song. Other companies got into the production end also.
Miss James was rated one of the top twenty female vocalists at the time, and the record of this song that the group cut with her was a hit. Porter, of course, would go on to general acclaim in the entertainment industry.
