You may remember that one from the hit movie Dirty Dancing. You now get to see the Five Satins live in front of an all-white public. How many of these white lasses fantasized about spending a full night alone with these big boys? A few, no doubt. There was a lot of unspoken erotic tension, loaded with taboo, when black artists performed in person for a white audience.

I'm writing a consensual story on another site where the main character is a 22-year-old Olympic weightlifter and a WW2 veteran from Montreal. This puts me in the mood for this...

G.I. Jive, two versions...

This is footage of Vera Lynn in front of RAF men in 1943...

One of my all-time favourites... Chattanooga Choo Choo

In 1952, many versions of Blue Tango were made. The one that I first listened to back when I was a very young man is the one from Lex Baxter & Orchestra. It has a confident musical arrangement and a dreamy vocal group in the background. Enjoy this authentic 20th-century moment!
