Storyline
Featured review
No Reason For It
The Nat 'King' Cole trio performs the title song in this late soundie.
Soundies were short films, about three minutes in length. The were meant to be played on a machine called a Mills Panoram, a video jukebox that was typically to be found in bars, lounges, and similar venues. You put a dime in and got a performance from the ten on the machine. The movies would be changed weekly, and from 1940 through 1946, Mills and other companies produced more than two thousand soundies.
Almost sixty years after his death, Cole remains a musical icon, for his smooth sound and silky singing. Here's an early example of it, before he hit it really big.
