This 1940s black-and-white Soundie from Juvenile Jubilee features a man in a tuxedo and a woman in a gown belting out the raucous "Boogie-Woogie Man" atop a piano, dancing and singing with gusto. Backed by a jazz band, their playful piano-miming gestures sync with solos from clarinet, slide trombone, trumpet, and piano, cast in striking silhouette against a backdrop. A lively three-minute romp, it captures the swing era’s infectious energy in a nightclub vibe.
