We Love It In Seattle
In the early 90's 93.3 KUBE put together a song and video to cover various events in Seattle history. The song is set to the tune of Billy Joel's "...
I'd say very early 90's. Stylistically it seems more 80s. Nice to see things I fondly remember.

@musicom67 I was pleasantly surprised to see you mention a Mills Panoram. You can also see a Panoram in the Spike Jones Soundie Clink Clink. A bonus in that is you also get to see Mel Blanc as a singer.

PETER MINTUN: Pretty Lady (Harry Warren) 1933
This is the title song of the show within the show in the film "42nd St." It is also heard in the opening scene of the 1933 release "Havana Widows."
Ah, this took me back to the first time I saw 42nd Street, on the big screen of The University Theater, in Seattle, which was a very revelatory event. Thank you my great friend.

Yes, the (kill the) "White Guy," is Willie Bryant. Correct that, the great Willie Bryant. Check out his band of the early Thirties. Later he was the emcee at the Apollo for many years. Oh, yeah, he is black.

Oddly, this is one of Lee's more restrained vocals. It sounds better on the Original Sound of the Twenties LP. Youtube does not do her credit.
