The 1940s was a monumental decade for the United States. Amid World War II, economic recovery, and the start of the Cold War, American music provided a soundtrack to a generation. The Music Classics line from MPI Home Video attempts to offer the chance to relieve the era with a ten-volume series of restored film footage featuring performances by many of the 40's most revered artists. Music Classics, Vol. 8 features such stars of the music-world as Peggy Lee, Harry "The Hipster" Gibson, Lawrence Welk, and Ozzie Nelson. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi
