True. They were absolutely brilliant at this. As a teenager I had an LP and the only instrument in the whole LP was a guitar. They imitate trumpets, double bass and all sorts.
This particular video employs no musical instruments at all. Just their voices. I don't think they've ever had equals.

Rapping & Break Dancing in the 1930's. It didn't start in the 70's.

Accord weirwildrealm-dot-com , this is part of a short film directed by Josef Berne of 1942, where Mills Bros also performed "Paper Doll" and "Old Rockin chair". Interesting EARLY B-BOY.

Guy's just busting out some indian step routine and finishes it off with some flares as if it wasn't the friggin' 40ies... It has all been there before! Great-great grandfather of breakdance..

This was the Mills Brothers' version of Duke Ellington's "Caravan", but where Duke used an orchestra, the Mills Brothers used only their mouths. There is NO band or orchestra accompanying them on this song. Their "gimmick" in the early part of their career was the "vocal orchestra", where they could imitate trumpets, trombones, saxophones, and of course the bass and tuba. After the oldest brother, John C., died in 1936, their father, John H., took his place as the bass/tuba. And yes, during the various musicians' strikes, the union did look into it to make sure that they were not using unauthorized musicians. It was called talent.
