Our friend Doug Webb, who does the website Wild In The Streets.info for Garland Jeffreys, has assembled some decades-old video footage and still photos of Coney Island into a video for Garland's new single, "Coney Island Winter."
Per Garland's website:
“Coney Island Winter” was directed and assembled by Doug Webb who created Garland's Wild in the Streets fan site and opens with footage from the 1952 short film documentary "Coney Island, U.S.A." It also includes samples from a 1991 episode of PBS’s American Experience ("Coney Island") and the evocative 2010 short film "Coney Island Dream", filmed and edited by Joshua Brown.
“The video captures the desolation, but also the allure, the fantasy and the humor of Coney Island that still fills my memories,” says Garland.
