I am looking for 8 cuts of Al Donahue, created at the Radio City Music Hall in around 1941, the very first soundie... I have 5 of them. My dad is in them and he is still around.. he's 89.
"does anyone know the song right at the start of the vid?". Answer: It's the middle of the intro into the song "Sentimental Journey" by Les Brown and His Orchestra and sung by the 17 yr. old Doris Day. The version on the vid isn't the original but the original was recorded in 1945 and was a tremedous hit.
My grandpa and grandma listened and danced to swing music from the 30's up until their deaths in the 80's. Grandpa would be caning a chair in the corner of the living room while grandma would be knitting in her chair while the record player played all the old good ones.
Excellent.

I love all music. Swing music always puts me in a good mood. Makes me want to really appreciate old music.

The documentary is incorrect about one thing. The Jive and the Shag are actually different dances than the Lindy Hop.
