My dad raised me on this! I'm 74. I'll be singing this song at the grand opening of a tea shop in Seattle in July. Along with a bunch of other 1920s/30s songs.
One of the greatest groups to ever perform in the history of music. Some of these 'performers' today could learn a few things from these guys. And only one instrument to boot. That's what you call TALENT!!
Diego James if you watch more of their videos, you will see them do all kinds of amazing musical instrument sounds with their hand or even with just their mouth. They had many awesome songs. 🙏
While all four of them are superb, I am always particularly impressed with Donald. I so very badly wish that I had found the Mills Brothers before he passed, so I could thank him for filling the cracks in my soul. Sounds corny but it's true, their music speaks to me like no other, and has a very strong impact on my emotional wellbeing.
@Gia Monette' - I listen to them, and try to learn as much as I can about them, every day. I feel as though I know them, like they're MY great uncles. I do feel blessed to have been contacted by someone in their family. From my family to yours: Thank you. You and your family are a gift from God.
@whiterook8022. I took my two year old daughter to see him (Donald) and his son perform at the Fresno Fair back in 1991. At the intermission, I took her to the back of the stage and managed to get him to hold her in his arms and sing to to her the song "Daddy's little girl". This is the first song she heard when she (and later my other two daughters also) was born, just a few minutes old and evey so often after she (and they) we're born. I was able to tell him how I discovered them on an old 8 track tape when I was about ten years old in 1974 and that I memorized all their songs because they brought so much happiness to my heart, getting me through some sad times too. He was very happy and I think he probably knew that others will discover their music and enjoy them too. ☺️🙏
One of the better -known brother acts to emerge from the Buckeye state (I'm also a native of Ohio); Isley Brothers and Bobby Womack also hail from Ohio, as do the O'Jays.
I cam here because of a link on a tenor guitar page. I only knew this song, without all the lyrics, because of the version Elizabeth Cotten did on her first album. Thank you for sharing this.
Nice touch in the last live-action scene where (very young) Donald is doing his scat solo; he has a hard time keeping a straight face (probably aware of just how silly "Tiger Rag" is as a song).
American Classic from the Mills Brothers--black white pop jazz rock country all classics you know--STELLAR RECORDING by LEGENDS. Lets all keep race class sex and politics out of it ok ?
Louie Prima first recorded the 2 songs together: "Just a Gigolo" & "I Ain't Got Nobody" in the 1940's - the Village People did the double cover in the 1970's - both songs date to the 1930's
Yes but he was riffing off of Louis Prima's version, making it a medley with "I'm Just a Gigolo." ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uY-EzZPzCv8.html

This was recorded back in 1932 or so: you can tell look how young they are , Louie become famous much later. I'm sure, and, they didn't have to "steal" a song, music is Universal, bloke 😂 What is a Afro-American hybrid?, their parents were both black,
Brrrruuuhhhh this song sounds like something someone would commit suicide to like a really dapressed person and they just say fuck it it's over I'ma end it so they turn in song on and boom down they go I hope an prey to god it doesn't happen more than likely it will but o'well ig🤷🏻♂️
I'm sorry you are too dimwitted and simpleminded to appreciate the nuance and complexity of the human psyche. Many upbeat songs have depressing undertones. It's called dissonance. Maybe educate yourself before commenting such nonsense again.
