Personally, I'm fascinated by the Jazz of the 20's, 30's, 40's and I listen to Hip-Hop and contemporary music. Learn the following groups for example : A Tribe Called Quest, Digable Planet, The Sound Providers or De La Soul, it's great ! We can't judge when you don't know ;)

[petugue]

I'm agree with you on some points but we can't generalize. Music such as Hip-Hop, for example, is extraordinary music, built on the roots of jazz, blues, funk and soul, among others.

[TitanicTarn1968]

Amazing version!

Too bad most popular music today is about cop killing, beating women, gangs, violence, rape and drugs....Kids today need to listen to music of the 40s!!

[vesputine22]

Kids need to listen to anything before 1986. God....ANYTHING. Preferably not top 40 oldies hits (everyone hears them in annoying commercials). The rap, rock, and pop are all so superficial and boring. So mundane. Complacent money making propaganda.

I'm not into 1940's too much unless it's blues or jazz, but DRB are very talented. I wish black groups today felt free enough to be diverse and just come out with this kind of music again instead of the nonpeaceful stuff.

[jfcc9086]

I love funk, soul, R&B but I hate Hip Hop. 100% correct!

[Cricketboy1200]

...no it isnt! I listen to hip-hop, R&B and im also in love with this stuff. And i love music of all sorts, and most mainstream music has nowt about cop killing or anything

[camking88]

@Cricketboy1200 I know. Mainstream music is mostly love songs, some sexual some not, and party songs. People who insult hip-hop don't know anything except the stereotypes. Alot of hip-hop is garbage but alot is good too. And the blues is just as violent as hip-hop. There are alot of blues about killing and jazz about getting high.

[Cricketboy1200]

@TitanicTarn1968 How wrong u are. Most music is not about that at all

[azchamp160]

really great music the begining is unusual but the but the secong part is marvulous i love it

[Aukapella]

Lee Gaines the best bass-singer ever..if you haven't heard Lee sing Ebb Tide you missed a lot.

Auke

[mockabeez]

Oh my god!!! This is really bad!!!

Listen to The Mills Brothers Version of e song- They naail it. This Stinks. Sorry.

[BruceWLA]

mockabeez! are you crazy? 1. this is HOW you sing tenor! 2. the DRB's and Mills Brothers were different groups with different styles. Back in that time, it was the SONG that was the hit, not the artist--the record charts sometimes had 4 or 5 versions of the same song popular at the same time, by different artists. This was a great group, in fact they were one of the reasons "doo wop" started (check out "undecided" by them on here). The Mills Brothers were a diff style. This does NOT stink.

[HCFan39]

Wow, I am thrilled by this beautiful song

and also the singing of the guy on he left

side.

[emiqueles]

Muito bom! Na minha opinião, melhor que a versão de Mills Brothers.

[redimacchia]

Sono straordinari! Mi riportano agli anni felici e pieni di speranza del dopoguerra. Peccato che non sono riuscito a trovare due pezzi che li hanno resi famosi in italia tra i "ragazzi" della mia generazione: "Gloria" e "My foolish heart". Magari qualcuno li mettesse in rete! gliene sarei grato per tutta la vita.

[recquilt]

Translation of above...They are extraordinary! They bring back me to the happy and full years of hope of the post-war period. Sin that is not successful to find two pieces that they have rendered them famous in Italy between the "boys" of my generation: "Gloria" and "My foolish heart". Someone even put them in net! gliene I would be pleasing for all the life.

[pineappleschool7]

Groups today can only dream about being this good.

[oldsgt6]

the guy singing bass is fantastic.What a voice .loved this one

[Cricketboy1200]

This is actully Elmaurrice Miller as signing first tenor on this. Why i know this...i dont know! Gd singing though

[recquilt]

I don't think so!

[Cricketboy1200]

yeah, but problem is, Clinton Holland joined in 1944, and left in 1945. True this is 1944, however this is the same guy as in previous videos in previous years, which was Elmaurice Miller.

[paghat]

What a great version, better than the recording they made of "Paper Doll" for Armed Forces radio. This is a clip from a film starring Ozzie and Harriet. The soundie of the Mills Brothers doing this while Dorothy Dandridge is shown as a miniature doll dancing is also a delight.

[bjomich]

What a great swing and fine harmonies those fantastic cats come up with, only Mills Brothers can com pair to DRB - Thanks.

[AlexLieb2802]

This is so great I love it! This jazz in the war time makes me feal nostalgic. To think so a nice time and good and happy music in such a time. Beautiful! 5/5 + Faved
