- Lovely Dorothy Dandridge (CARMEN JONES) stars in this Soundie from 1942. Watch for comedian Dudley Dickerson--a familiar face in Three Stooges comedies--as a two-gun hombre who shouts, "Yippee! Solid, man, solid!"

The face & voice of an angel. Wish she was around today. What a talent.
She knew how talented she was as a singer, actress and dancer. But she was caught in a social universe impossible to overcome. In memory she is highly respected and revered.
She was so Beautiful.
I was a little kid when I was first introduced to Dorothy Dandridge on TV, and just seeing her made me fall in love for the very first time. She changed me completely. She transformed me from a normal six year old into Pepe Le Phew.
Seriously. How can any living creature be so goddamn adorable?
Best version of this song ever!
Ditto, she was a goddess, so beautiful and gifted, the face of an angel. I feel you!
Get It Dorothy!!
Dorothy Dandridge had a wonderful voice. She was special.
She was truly beautiful, and a classy lady.
I love her voice, and the way that she danced.
Her videos brighten my day!
i love her smile and how expressive she is when she sings
She was so majestic with her delivery, and had such beauty and talent. I’m sorry that she never found true happiness in her life though.
She was a Doll!!
One of my Grandmas favorite songs from '42!
This makes me smile every single time :) she's wonderful!
I love watching Dorothy Dandridge perform!! She was so beautiful and talented!!!
So beautiful and talented!! I'm only 15 but I wish this music was still around, girls would be so different then they are.
+yoo Nena Well, why don't YOU sing it, then?
i have a time machine i can give you for free
yoo Nena YOU* should sing it. I'll be your first customer on faith alone. Just do it and organize your friends to help you. I got many connections. If you're as good as I think you may be, I'll publicize your efforts everywhere!
Very true, black artists were only allowed a narrow band of roles and this one was very suggestive for its time. The lyrics are very overt (for its time) but that seems to skip over everyone these days.
Well, you're twenty years old now. I hope you've found the music, because I promise you, it's still there.
If I didn't know this was from the 1940's,
them back-up dancers could be from today's videos.
The more things change, the more things stay the same.
Wow! The lady knew EXACTLY what she was doing and she was doing it right! Total entertainment - leaves me wanting more. Think I'll watch it again!
She's my idol.So elegant and talented!
Now that's entertainment! Wow! I loved it! Whew... OK thanks for posting. What a great production, band and Dorthy had it going for her. ! She and the dancers were smoking~ ~ ~ and very cute.
Man what a talent, and a beautiful lady!!!
i love this song! its sung in such a kool way. We miss you Dorothy!
Cute and sassy.
Just discovered this performance... the more I see of Dorothy Dandridge, the more I love her! :)
Those are cool dance steps.
A TALENTED BEAUTY.
What a cutie! She is dearly remembered for being the monumentally talented star she was! And it’s always amusing to me how those tiny little weed references sneak into some of the songs from that era!!💕
Dorothy Dandridge(November 9th,1922-September 8th,1965).!
Dorothy was such a beauty
OMG ‼️ Dorothy Dandridge - the Great singer and amazing aktress 🎉🏆‼️

Wow. She was too much!
I saw this a kid, and it stuck. My life as a drummer is based on this and beat me daddy eight to the bar.
Clever hip movements

I love her dance in this video!!!..lol
That's the absolute best in my opinion.
I just love me some dorothy.. I watched her documentary what a sad ending I realized I am the same age she was now when she died... 42 so young I couldn't imagine being gone now... rip dorothy

Thank you, Horrormovieshows: These postings are wonderful and let people of today know how talented and beautiful Dorothy Dandrige was.

Dorothy Dandridge is a forties beauty!
'train kept a rollin' was lifted from this tune.
dorothy dandridge is my role model....OMG
Awesome
Spectacular.
"he was raised on locoweed"...
love it...
Amazing
RIP to all you beautiful people.
amazing
Give me bod-day!
Ms D.D. ... soooooo good ...
Black, White or whatever, this is a classy, sexy lady doing a great version of this song. Also check out Ella Mae Morris version.
Perfect talent too
So cute!!!! Sure a difference performance than when she played a schoolteacher in the South, for example....
A woman before her time. We love here.
Yes, that's Dudley in A-PLUMBING WE WILL GO. He also appears in other short comedies with the Stooges.
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANM!!!!!!!!!
fantastic.
finest dancing i have seen from any beautiful girl!
This is a pretty hot video
she looks just like janet jackson, check out her vid "Twenty Foreplay"
Great clip & SONG. We do thi 'un in our li'l Jazz band!
She really said Moo before Doja
This clip was in a performance movie that I saw on Cinemax in the 80s. Does anybody know the name of the video??? Fats Waller was in it and others that I can't remember or describe. It was an awesome movie and I'd love to get a copy. I THINK the Mills bros might have been in it also.
1:37 Please meet Dudley Dickerson, player in many Three Stooges films :-P
Emmm emmmm YUM !!!
How the FUCK is this not in Fallout: New Vegas? This is fantastic!
This gal... DAMN!!!
Dorothy Dandridge paved the way for Diane Carroll and Halle berry decades later minus the due credit. Dorothy Dandridge was a pioneer without knowing that. God bless Dorothy Dandridge she was born several decades too early but made a huge difference.
I like that cowgirl!
This is one of my favorite songs. I think I like Ella's version just a little better, but Dorothy is just too much and so adorable!
her facial expressions were so cute .
Poor Dudley Dickerson seems to be afraid of the prop guns, but that makes his bit even funnier. If you watch The Three Stooges disorder in the court, Curly also seems afraid of the prop gun. His character is supposed to believe the gun isn't loaded, but the actor flinches and looks nervous.
That's good to know. I was wondering what was up with him lol.
@Bumblebee38 - I'm glad someone's got sense.
From this back in the day... to and then came Beyonce in present times. Man have times changed.... and not for the better
Don't like it? Don't listen. Simple!
Arlie Daniel wow..... that's a ground breaking concept that never would have occured to me. NO NEED TO STATE THE OBVIOUS! You must be a member of the "B-Hive".... lol
GuRUCLANdotcom - you didn't seem to know as you were complaining about it on the Internet.
GuRUCLANdotcom - These bey hives are everywhere is ridiculous
Akeelah Conscious it's
YeeeHaw! Oh, this is great! That li'l dress is a killer, and the singing is 5 star. Wish they'd shown the orchestra- the harmonica woulda been worth watching.
Bite Me!
Dorothy Dandridge was hot!!!
That's how you do a feature spot! Those poor other girls didn't even get a close-up!
Could somebody PLEASE post "Easy Street"?
"East Street. I'm telling everyone I meet. If I could just live on Easy Street. I wouldn't need a job today."
Love me some Dorothy Dandridge!
@ccaammiiittoo1 I BELIEVE SHE DID. BEAUTIFUL MELODY TOO!!
Those gals yeah
She is divine: what a voice, what a body (check out those hips!) Once she starts, you can't take your eyes off 'er! Divine!
She is gorgeous
Without a doubt the sexiest version of this song ever recorded. She wasn't really known as a jazz singer, but this version tops Ella Mae Morse's and even Ella Fitzgerald's. By the way, I would pay a week's salary for one night in that saloon! And they even have a jazz harmonica player!
Reminds me of fallout
A great and beautiful talent! A dear and treasured friend of Marilyn Monroe...
'Raised on loco weed'..cowboys with character...
I get raised, on local weed, everyday!
Tiny Bradshaw based his song "The Train Kept on a Rollin" on this melody. It was later covered by Johnny Burnette, Yardbirds, Aerosmith, etc.
@Blogengezer Yeah...thats why most of the European countries with MUCH more comprehensive Wellfare programs pale in comparision to the Problems here int he US...not just with Drugs but everything else, including just plain quality of life. USA Ranking on Quality of Life Survey: 13 (1 Ireland and 2 Switzerland) ---TheEconomist Magazine ... Yep, its all our Wellfare program....glad you cleared that up. You are a GENIUS!
@zipper179 True, enough to be careful and use them safely is smart. I'm pretty well practiced with a few models, but still treat them with respect.
I was just noticing that actors from the era were apparently afraid of the bang. It doesn't diminish their performance any, but watch Disorder in the Court (One of the best stooges shorts) and watch the scene where Curly thinks the gun is unloaded and pulls the trigger. Of course, Curly shot himself in the foot as a kid, so it could be nerves.
This is a great version & a true classic I was led here by the Ella Mae Morse version. Does any one know if that is Dooley Wilson on the keyboard? Another great version is Ella Fitzgerald's actually a favorite of mine
Dooley Wilson was not a pianist he was a drummer and singer his scenes in the movie Casablanca were done with a piano player hand double by the name of Elliot Carpenter, apparently Dooley would watch how Elliott played and then would mimic the movements
Thanks not being either a pianist or drummer I am often fooled. It was a great performance by both of them then. Love that song Knock on Wood
Not Dooley Wilson as he was not a pianist but a drummer and singer in the film Casablanca he mimicked playing the piano
how did Dorothy die?? and how long has she been gone?
how did Dorothy die?? and how long has she been gone?
Man the women back then sure were beautiful
She passed in 1965. She was an absolutely beautiful Black woman who lived a tragic life and died a lonely tragic death.
I guess the film censors at this time had no idea what "loco weed" meant. 😆
@awarren92 - couldn't agree more!
@lovejohnniebear24 yes and she was the perfect fit for the role
