There is nothing like the warmth of an old vinyl record and records by Fats Waller are some of my favorites. Few people record music like they did back then. While modern recording studies no doubt have their benefits, the nostalgia found in the sound of a vinyl record is astounding. Heavy as they may be, vinyl records have a special place in my music collection. Much of the music from the early 1930's and 1940's just hasn't been reproduced into modern formats yet.
The following clip is taken from a old film in which Fats Waller plays his classic song "Ain't Misbehavin." It shows all the great elements of Fats. He is simply one of the greatest entertainers to ever have lived and a simply brilliant musican. Enjoy.
Fats Waller - Ain't Misbehavin'
Classic.
