Vaudeville, a genre that flourished from the late 19th to the mid-20th century, was more than just a music style; it was an eclectic and vibrant form of entertainment that included comedy, dance, and other performance arts, with music being a central element. Its sound is characterized by lively tunes and catchy melodies, designed to captivate and entertain a diverse audience, ranging from the vaudeville theaters of yesteryears to radio audiences. Artists such as Al Jolson, known for his dynamic vocal style and theatrical performances, and Rudy Vallee and His Connecticut Yankees, with their romantic crooning and big band influence, exemplify the genre's wide appeal and stylistic variety. Vaudeville's musical legacy, embodied by these and other performers, laid the groundwork for modern American music and entertainment, influencing genres from Broadway musicals to early pop music.
