I THINK THIS VIDEO WAS AHEAD OF IT'S TIME, PLUS THE QUALITY IS GREAT. LET US NOT FORGET HOW GREAT DOROTHY DANDRIDGE IS HERE TOO!

[Rextrent]

Great sing-along music and fun lyrics. They really were smooth.

This old video's special effects reminds me of some of the Twilght Zone episodes.

[nmurray1944]

Fantastic, with Dorothy Dandrige as the "paper doll!"

[HolyMotherofGrid]

Wow!! That sure brought back memories. I grew up listening to these wonderful singers - they were a huge part of the background of our house and a big part of why i love tight, close harmonies so much. NO group these days can touch them - they were the pros, and deserved much more success than they every got. Thanks so much for posting this - it has just made my day.

[Ecdysiast96]

me too

Thanks to what the blacks who brought to this music industry and those fine young and old singers that sang their way into our hearts. We owe our gratitude to them. Well done. Thats one reason why our nation is great. Good job past and present. Thanks for the clip.......

[missnormalee]

Dorothy! Love her!

[devonette2]

Not cruel at all! The song was written by Johnny S. Black! The word Black in parentheses refers to the composer, and is the way the composers are always noted on recordings.

[izzdviruss]

[SwingshiftCat]

[c16467]

I thoroughly enjoyed this, all of it.

[welch57]

Yes, Dorothy Dandridge is the dancing "Paper Doll" and, if you look closely, the first "lap sitter" is none other than Juanita Moore who, in 1959, was Oscar nominated for her memorable portrayal of Annie Johnson in Imitation of Life.
