Those Roaring Twenties, and the music...

Here's a nice example of the sort of music from the Roaring Twenties that kept those Flappers flappin'....

and just try not tapping your feet to it. Better yet, get up and dance.

and then there was The Black Bottom... after they got tired of the Charleston.

and before Doris Day, there was Ruth Etting. Doris later did a movie about her,
which included James Cagney as Ruthie's no-good gangster husband. It was suitably called 'Love Me Or Leave Me' and came out in 1955.
