  • @TheQueenie726 PD starts at 1922 (and should move up each year if Congress doesn't change the rules again.) More good info at pdinfo dott com about the subject

  • sigh...all you young people with your talk of drugs missed the signifigance of that bottle of Coca-Cola, which at the time the song was written WAS the real thing -- coca, that is...

    PS, public domain for music is pre-1920, last I knew...but, I'm old, and almost remember these things

  • @Aggedor1959 Maybe you should get a time machine,and go back there and tell them to stop! lol  Or just change the history books to accommodate your views.

  • Thank god they filmed this - some of the only film of a young Louis.

  • @edgarallanpony Louis was not a heroin user (smack). He was however known to enjoy some guage (pot). I don't like your inference that he would do a "racist gig" in exchange for the right amount of any drug. He wasn't that kind of guy, he was a class act, always.

  • @noeljdun12 You're right but as a minority it bothers me to see this from this perspective in time and modern social development, i.e. respect for self & others regardless of skin color.

  • @Aggedor1959 Why unfortunate?

    Do not think he was forced to do this. Roll with the times.

    Grown men do grown things.

  • Was this the first filmed appearance of Satchmo?

  • don't ya just hate the negative way they depict White people as dogs , clowns and hookers.

  • @Aggedor1959 It's not too bad, if you only listen to the music it's pretty great! x)
