Here are Louis Jordan and his Tympany
five doing “Caldonia,” which was #1 on the race music charts for
seven weeks in 1945. I'm not able to identify the other group
members. The video was made after the recording, and there were
several personnel changes around this time. You'll notice that the
objectification of women was a soundies tradition long before the
rise of music videos in the '80s.
