(57,379 posts)We used to watch Charlie Chan and Mr. Moto on TV all the time. They're gone now.
Some of that old country stuff from the '20s wouldn't be welcome here either.
But for diversity of opinion at DU, you can't beat Music Appreciation.
Did you ever take an interest in Soundies? reelblack has a stunning channel. Here's one of his videos:

Soundies were an early form of music video. Developed prior to television, they played on 16mm film projectors that were viewed on small screens like a video jukebox and captured some of the top artists of the day. This reel, preserved by the Prelinger Archive features Rhythm and Blues performers .Enjoy!
