INTL. SWEETHEARTS of RHYTHM- "Swing Shift" (1944)

Описание: (*This is not a pro-war video, it is a pro-women video.)

During World War II, women ran America. They built the planes, ships, and equipment to win the war. They built the economy that pulled the country out of the Depression and then emerge as a new Superpower. For the first time they were integrated into the work force, the military, and the society.

But they were expected to give all that up at the war's end. Having tasted freedom, many Americans refused to surrender for themselves what they had been fighting for abroad. The Civil Rights movement, the farm rights activism of Cesar Chavez, the Counterculture, Stonewall, the American Indian Movement, and Feminism are the children of that democratic spirit of freedom for all.

INTERNATIONAL SWEETHEARTS OF RHYTHM: With so many men gone to war, all-female groups finally got some spotlight in the War years: like The All-Star Girl Orchestra, The Darlings Of Rhythm, Ina Ray Hutton and Her Melodears, and The International Sweethearts Of Rhythm. The cosmopolitan ISR band included Latina, Asian, Euro-Am., African-Am., Indian and Puerto Rican members. The rhythms of Swing music presaged Rock'n'Roll and the horns, Funk. Now kiss your grandma with some deep respect!
