BETTY BOOP ft. LOUIS ARMSTRONG!!! I'll Be Glad When You're Dead, You Rascal You
Possibly the World's 1st Music Video!!
This is unlike anything you have ever seen!! Stereotypical for its day but extremely innovative and out right genius!! On BoingBoing.net, I spotted this remarkable 1932 Max Fleisher cartoon in which Betty Boop and pals are menaced by African 'savages', who morph into Louis Armstrong and members of his band.
They did a whole series of Betty Boop cartoons like this. One with Cab Calloway singing "St. James Infirmary." (LINK)
Take a look….(And make sure you watch it all the way through!!!)
