Before MTV there were SOUNDIES three minute musical shorts with such musical greats are Fat Waller, Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway, Stan Kenton, Spike Jones and many others. 

             These sensations films were produced during the years 1940 to 1946, and were made to be seen on self-contained, coin-operated, 16mm rear projection machines called Panorams. They were located in nightclubs, bars, restaurants and other public places. Eight soundies, featuring a variety of musical performances, were generally spliced together on a reel which ran in a continuous loop.
