The Legends of the Rocking Dutchman - episode 12

Ladies' night

Today's legends are all female as it is ladies' night today. A parade of great singing ladies come by, backed up by the great names and their orchestras or by vocal groups.

But as James Brown once said, this is a man's world and most, if not all, of the members of the backing groups were men. So we end with the one and only, and most spectacular, all female big band of the forties: the International Sweethearts of Rhythm.
