VHS : Stormy Weather [1943]
Forget the story line. It's unimportant. Try to ignore the black stereotyping. It's there and it's not going to go away. But pay attention to the musical performances. The liner notes say there are more than 20. I didn't count, but the movie has one great performance after another, starting with the two leads, Bill Robinson and Lena Horne. The movie features a roster of famous black entertainers of the time.

VHS : Harlem Roots Vol.2 - The Headliners
An Excelent video featuring the best black artists of the 1940s. Fats Waller is superb as is Louis Armstrong.I never get tired of watching the skill of Fats Waller at the piano or Louis Armstrong's trumpet playing. Both artists show a great style and sense of humour which is why they were at the top of their profession.
