  The Headliners - Harlem Roots Volume Two features three of the most amiable showmen in black music. Here we see Fats Waller, Louis Armstrong and Louis Jordan in a selection of Soundies filmed in New York in the 1940's.The short films included in this compilation are known as Soundies. These musical films were originally shown in a jukebox machine called a Panoram. Over two thousand of these films were made between 1941 and 1947 featuring many of the most popular recording artists of the day. Soundies were extremely popular, but due to a shortage of production materials during the war, the Panorams themselves were in short supply. The shortage of Panorams ultimately spelled the demise of the Soundie in 1947. Nevertheless, they captured in film many superb musicians at the peak of their powers making an irreplaceable contribution to the history of American music during this period.
