 Benny Goodman plays... and sings (!)
Author: GBK

Here is the rare clip of Goodman playing and singing (!) "Paducah" from the movie "The Gang's All Here" (Goodman's first film appearance)

Oh...and let's not overlook Carmen Miranda [wink]

Good thing he didn't try dancing. That may have nipped his film career in it's bud. However, wearing some bananas might have helped......

He also played cornet on at least a couple of early sides.

Is this 1943 or 1934? The Youtube uploader must have made a typo at one of the two spots. I'd assume the latter date since it's in color?

Definately 1943. It was made during World War II.

John -

Yup...that's the one I was thinking of.

I always found it amusing that Benny was born in Chicago, but yet he sang with a Southern drawl [wink]

Thanks for finding it...GBK
