back to vaudeville (emmett miller on film)

around 0.42, on the right of the screen, facing another blackface, ches davis, you'll see and hear the only time emmett miller did his famous yodel (or falsetto) on film ... no one had the idea of asking him to sing ... this hollywood vaudeville effort (yes sir, mr bones, 1951), came out at a time black minstrels were nearly a thing of the past ... emmett miller died in 1962, at the age of 62, in the very place where he was born, macon georgia ...

emmett miller and ches davis doing their blackface comic routine ... still no singing ...
