...this was probly' with the cartoon, maybe a newsreel, and nekkin'..cool celluloid

FACTOID:
The group had been together more than 50 years when founder Lee Gaines died on July 15th, 1987, in his home of only one year, Helsinki, Finland. In a bizarre scenario that brought the group more attention in America than it had received in more than 30 years, Hugh Bryant sang at Lee Gaines’ funeral and upon completing the song died on the spot.

....choggie say, "Bees'some voodoo round' them a'currencies"....

Actually, Scopitones were video-jukeboxes that ran 16mm film clips. There are lots of 'em out there on the intarweb-hopefully more will be posted here on teh siftorz.

This one is absolutely gorgeous, the film has faded and the background has taken on a beautiful, lavender hue, and when was the last time, if ever, you saw a music video done in one, long, continuous take? It's like the Copacabana scene from Goodfellas!
