This classic Soundie dates back to 1941 and features the Count Basie Orchestra performing “Take Me Back Baby” with Jimmy Rushing doing the vocal. In the clip, Rushing plays a sax player who falls asleep on the bandstand and dreams he is singing the blues to his gal. 'Soundies' were an early version of the music video, displayed on a Panoram (a coin-operated film jukebox) in nightclubs, bars, restaurants, factory lounges and amusement centers during the early-mid 1940s.
