The 1930s were a difficult time. Picture it. It’s the height of the great depression. Thousands are starving. There’s no work anywhere, no way for people to make a living. Many lost hope. Many committed suicide, many died of starvation or of diseases brought on by malnutrition, or by weakened bodies. But through it all, pulling people along, there was always music. Songs like I AIN’T GOT NOBODY by the Mills Brothers helped people forget their problems for a while.
