    Hooray for Winnie Lightner! Performers just don't have her kind of energy today, they have to take tranquilizers and sleeping pills just to get thru the day. Her kind of exuberance is sorely missed.

    Although I was raised on 30s music, I only discovered Winnie Lightner today, so I'm looking at all the clips I can of her. I think she's fantastic. Such incredible, natural energy and a great, belting voice while always looking like she's having the time of her life. It's infectious and it's a style that I don't think has dated a bit.

    I haven't seen this since I was 12. The melody stuck in my head and I'd occasionally whistle it and only knew the line "Ping-pongo". What a joy to be able to see it again.

    i love Winnie Lightner-her comic "tough girl" stance is priceless- a great comedian-her production number of Singing In The Bath tub is my favourite (so far)

    Winnie Lightner was a great star on stage and screen, very popular and very accomplished. She worked hard to get where she did.

    @cinnamonbear57 Having her for a great-aunt I would have absolutely BEGGED her to sing for me, amazing talent, stuff we will never see again in this age of all frosting and no cupcake (as my 92 year old grandmother puts it) music, and it's true.

    I particularly love Winnie Lightner in Manhattan Parade (1931).....it was shot in Technicolor, but only survives in Black and White today. Plus, all the musical numbers were cut after the first release and are now lost.

    "and when some missionary, gets unnecessary, they eat him up."
    what a great performance, were they still selling coke with cocaine in 1929?

    Winnie Lightner was one of a kind. You see touches of her style in Betty Hutton but Winne was way more naughty. Someone ought to do a review of her stuff. It would make a great burlesque act.

    Miss Winnie was the BEST. Adele & the other girls could learn a thing or two from this gal.

    I love this. As for the lyrics, that looks good, but I think she says: "The women dress in corals", not "practice chorals".

    @BobWXXI They both worked on "George White's Scandals," Winnie several years before Ethel, so I would say Winnie "inspired" Ethel's style.

    I wouldn't want to have a fight with her! She seems like that she would deck someone. LOL

    I don't know what she is saying, but she is so damn entertaining, I don't really care! Performers today have got NOTHING on these vaudeville performers!

  • @swallin19
    @swallin19 15 лет назад +1

    Winnie Lightner was billed as The song a Minute Singer, and the female Al Jolson in at least one film advertising poster. Quite a character, far too few of her films survive, and her later ones were non musicals.

  • @swallin19
    @swallin19 14 лет назад +1

    @TheGranule It's King Conga, not King Kong, the lyrics date from about 1919/20, a typical fast delivered tongue twister that Winnie specialised in on Broadway, where she was known as "The Song a Minute Girl"

    This song and dance should be the opening to the great tribulation as written about in the Book of Revelations.
