I'm wondering if this is familiar to y'all. I recall a music video played on some stations and cable channels in the late 1980's, which utilized footage from Tex Avery's 1945 cartoon Jerky Turkey, the unfutzed version of which can be found here on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1aRZIZHHyM) (as of this writing). I seem to have a recollection of such footage used for a vintage classic soul single (with the production resembling that of the Disney Channel's DTV), I'm not sure but I have a vague memory of it being Fontella Bass' 1965 Chicago soul classic "Rescue Me." Can anyone else remember such a video, or if not specifically that, then what song would've it been?

Not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for,but in that time frame,the Disney channel (back when you hadto pay for it...),had a series called "DTV",where they took pop/soul/early rock n' roll hits & combined them with animation from Disney cartoons.

The production idea and time frame was the same (and yes, I'm aware of the show and the format), but . . . it wasn't on DTV, as the cartoon footage was from MGM. And now that I think of it, I may've seen it on TBS's Night Tracks or something like that (by then Ted Turner owned the MGM library).
