Louis Armstrong - Shine (1942) (rare)

[Diosprometheus]

What is this from? Is it from a movie or a soundie?

The dancer is my father, Nick Stewart, who later was the voice of Disney's Brer Bear (Song of the South/Splash Mountain theme park ride) and Lightnin' on Amos "n" Andy. He and my mother founded the Ebony Showcase Theatre in 1950. He played Willy Willy in Ramar of the Jungle. His filmography is on the internet movie database where there is a link to our website and contact information.

The beautiful women from left to right are Juanita Moore, famous for her role in Imitation of Life, the next one was Mildred Boyd, a popular dancer/actress in the 30's and 40's, and the next girl was a popular dancer, who I don't recall at this time, but when I remember, I will come back and say it.

Yes, that is Nick Stewart. He latter played Lightenin' on Amos 'N' Andy and also costared in Carmen Jones. The guitarist is my old friend and music teacher Lawrence Lucie, who passed away this year at age 102!
