Dear Steve,
No you didn't.
You downloaded a wonderful animated sequence using an Annette Hanshaw  
recording from 8 Sept 1927 featuring Eddie Lang, Adrian Rollini, Joe  
Venuti, and Vic Berton.
Betty Boop's cartoon voice was ghosted by Mae Questel and based in  
many ways to that other great 'Roaring 20s' film and singing star  
Helen Kane and the other film favourite Clara Bow.
Now Steve, if you'd paid more attention to Classic Jazz 101 back in  
your formative days during the jazzy 50s........ [sigh].
Wot would youse do without us discographers?
Very kind regards,
Bill.
PS: The associated 'Sita' YouTube clips are equally interesting, also  
with Annette Hanshaw vocals.
“Sita Sings the Blues” looks to be a great documentary.
I hope we get to see it here very soon.
