  The Top New Videos list is always full of interesting, current videos. It is always recommended that you have a look through the Top New Videos, but also have a look at these:
  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?
  Post and share it here - VideoSift is the best video aggregator on the Web, where we share, discuss, promote, and interact with the best videos out there on the web. Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

It takes a few min. to get to Billie..but it's always worth it. :-)

poster at Google video said:

"This short is 9:30 minutes in length and was made in 1935 by the great Adolph Zuckor. It is also the first film appearance of a young Billie Holiday."

Fantastic find!

Ah, sad to think that most people will not vote for this because of lack of knowledge.

Nice find! What about some John Coltrane? Miles Davis?
