- Summary:
- "One of the most dynamic singing combinations to emerge in the early fifties was Dolly Rathebe and the African Inkspots. They were the toast of Sof'town, getting star billing in musical shows round the country and appearing in feature films such as 'Jim Comes to Jo'burg', 'The Magic Garden' and 'Song of Africa'. Our documentary pays tribute to the talents of these jazz greats who have made such a valuable contribution to the musical heritage of South Africa"--Container.
