All musical Black Heritage films showcase rare musical Soundies by Billy Eckstine, Nat King Cole, Fats Waller, Count Basie, Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway and more. From the 1920s thru the mid-1950s many films were made with all African-American casts for distribution to black cinemas and all-black audiences. These inexpensive but heartfelt little gems spanned all genres -- musical, dramatic, western, comedy and even horror -- and give a fascinating peak today inside a culture and world that has been largely overlooked by history. Musical Soundies from the 1940s have been put together into our Black Jazz Soundies for your enjoyment, and have been featured for exhibition in Black Heritage Programs for theaters and film societies.
