Kay Kyser and Fats Waller, two more favorites of mine from the era. Any other fans of these two out there?

I’ve loved Fats Waller ever since I saw the movie Be Kind Rewind. I do need to listen to him more, though. :musical_keyboard:

Did you ever see Kay Kyser’s movies? They turn up on TCM occasionally, but a couple of good ones are You’ll Find Out (with Karloff, Lugosi and Lorre!) and Playmates (John Barrymore in his final film).

I need to! I really like big band music, and that whole period. A biography of Frank Sinatra I read a while back talked a lot about that era, and made me even more interested in it.

I love both Kay Kyser and Fats Waller. But then I have always loved music from the 1930s and 1940s.

2 (anti-) war (protest) songs. That Animals tune was the #1 radio request by the troops during Vietnam :vietnam:#freefunfacts.

I know this is cross-pollinating between the Big Two, but the JSA enters the public domain in 14 years, so

Not to derail the topic, but I LOVE this movie. It kicked off a nice YouTube subculture of “sweded” movies that I’m very much obsessed with.

I’ve been trying to think of another song for the JSA, and I don’t know why I didn’t think of this one before. “We Are the Champions” by Queen.

This is late, but it took me a bit to find something I liked that fit.

Now you get all me sad of all the characters and teams DC Comics just forgot about. :sob:

For the JSA I think Imagine Dragons America might be a good song to honor the team’s WW2 history. Giving hope to a generation of Americans during that tribulation period.
