Dorothy Lamour
For some reason, I just felt like posting this photo of Dorothy Lamour, originally posted on Film Noir Photos. I'm not sure why, but it may be because she was the star always mentioned in the vintage cartoons as the irresistible beauty. Well known for her team ups with Bing and Bob in their Road to [pick somewhere] movies.
Sunrise Serenade: In A Little Gypsy Tea Room
Today's Sunrise Serenade was "In A Little Gypsy Tea Room" by Louis Prima and His Gang. Click on the song title to listen courtesy of Jazz On Line.

Playlist For July 12, 2017

Vintage Everyday posted this color film footage from V-J Day, August 14, 1945, in Honolulu, Hawaii. While I like Jimmy Durante, I would not have minded if they had not put his song over the sounds of the film.
