True story. I was in the parking lot of a local mall. A PT Cruiser went by, with the radio (CD?) cranked. What was this kind soul sharing with the world? George Formby!

Louis Armstrong - A Rhapsody in Black and Blue (1932)
"In prime early form, Satch sings "(I'll Be Glad When You're Dead) You Rascal You," "Shine," and plays "Chinatown, My Chinatown." Another plus is that Louis' generally sorry-sounding OKeh-era big band seems to be having a particularly good day. (On the minus side, everything else about this short - from its "plot" to the settings - is stuffed with stereotypes that may offend 21st-century sensibilities.) Regardless how one feels about the trappings of the day, Louis - as always - rises far above the nonsense surrounding him below." (WhenSwingWasKing)
