Songfacts®: "Minnie the Moocher" was written by the famous band leader, jazz composer and singer Cabell "Cab" Calloway III, and the jazz music publisher Irving Mills. It was first recorded in 1931 by Cab Calloway and His Orchestra, and became their signature song for the next decade. Beloved by audiences, "Minnie the Moocher" earned Calloway the nickname "The Hi De Hi De Hi Man" based on his unique form of scatting in the song. The song tells the sad story of a "red hot hoochie coocher" girl called Minnie. The hoochie coochie was a style of belly dancing with non-respectable gypsy origins, and was considered lecherous at the time. The licentious Minnie gets involved with a "kokie" conveniently called Smokey, a "kokie" being someone who takes cocaine. Smokey takes her down to Chinatown where he introduces her to opium, which is what Calloway meant when using the jive expression "to kick the gong around" in the lyrics. The rest of the song describes her opium-induced wish-fulfillment fantasy in which the king of Sweden gives her many gifts, including "a diamond car, with the puh-latinum wheels." Calloway doesn't tell us how this story ends, but he does wail "Poor Min! Poor Min" Poo-oor Min" at the end, which may be an indication that Minnie's a goner.
Most people today don't know that Cab Calloway was phenomenally popular in his day. First black American to sell a million records of a song. First black musician to have a national syndicated radio program. Thank to the Blues Brothers movie, he has now been seen by more generations of people.
@@thatonedud8325 That number for Crazy Blues is not agreed to by everybody. Some say over a million, some say not verified. It probably isn't verifiable because of the record keeping back then. Cab Calloway's was in 1931 and probably better record keeping by then. Time magazine did research and made a list that shows Calloway, but they only went back as far as 1923 (unfortunately) when Time Magazine was launched. So I suspect that Crazy Blues is an open question unless there is some authoritative source. Whether or not over a million, an extremely significant record to be sure. Of course the RIAA exists now, but didn't start giving out their awards until 1958. So no help there.
@@thatonedud8325 There can only be one "first". The Ink Spots didn't even make their first recording until 1935. And while Satchmo had a great early career, I don't think he had a million seller until the 1960's.
absolutely! as a comedic stage actor, I take so much inspiration from him, and will often watch his performances before a show to get in the right mindset. Across all different disciplines, of entertainment, this man is the best of the best!
I love when musicians absolutely dominate a scale just to show off their range, Cab did this and some. What spectacular stage performance he gave us, truly a unique character of our modern age
That sweet old man from the nursing home who was given an iPod and headphones brought me here. This was his favourite band, he said. Thank you so much grandpa, this is beautiful indeed ♥
This is from 58? Wow I was guessing back in the early 40s or something. The dude was ageless. Remember Blues Bros? He was 73 there! Well, gone are the days. RIP Cab! 👍❤
It's 1958 we can never never never go back..... People we can bring the music back just listen to it .. . America lets do it together ❤ I'm here waiting for you. . Great music
The past really is another country. How do these incredible times, music, styles, ways of talking, fashion, architecture, technology, develop so quickly, and as soon as they have, they're gone. Each decade really is like another world on this earth. So emphereal. Thank goodness we have the ability to record and document some of it, so we may visit it in awe sometimes. This song is incredible.
@@firepowerpinball lots of artists were popular during their time and are still popular today. He is definitely lasted longer than only his generation, but he was not ahead of his time. Which is really good for him, if he was ahead he'd be underappreciated during his time. Luckily that was not the case! Always appreciated.
@@alepavon5667 He was competing with the obo in the band. When he ran out of breath at such low pitch, he declared the player as, "The Winner." In short, banter
1:59 Cab Calloway has officially spoken 9.5 syllables/sec, which was not broken for VERY long after that(and then at 2:01 he spoke so fast he was surprised that the orchestra could keep up) and then in the end he gave the trombone(or whatever instrument was that) player a 'you win' because he could not do that surprisingly low voice as much as the trombone player 💀and then he gave another man a hi-five(in 1931)
I noticed that at the end! He held the note for ages, couldn’t keep it up any more then gave the trombonist the nod. Great musicianship all round. Cracking comment! 👍👍
My dad loved this song, he would try to dance like that in the kitchen while mom was cooking. So much fun. When he later got Alzheimer's he couldn't remember this song. 4th anniv of his passing yesterday. Keep on dancing, dad, where ever you are!
I'm so happy that they used Cab Calloway as inspiration for King Dice for The Cuphead Show. I'm so excited for the show and I screamed when I saw Dice dancing and singing onto the stage in the trailer.
Such showmanship, I love it! I'd imagine that he probably got some side eyes for his spontaneous dancing back then and now, but he just kept doin his own thing

You can tell when someone finds their calling. They do it, and they do it with everything they have, and Cab Calloway sure found his calling. *RIP Cabell Calloway III* - December 25, 1907 - November 18, 1994
He's already 50 or 51 here folks, and still on top of his game. Kept right on killing it into his eighties and barely slowed all things considered until very near the end. Rightfully an absolute legend and without doubt one of America's greatest ever entertainers
@@megamiow3325 This footage is from 1958, it even said so in the clip. But he did the record in '31 or '32 IIRC. So he was mid twenties when he did the audio recording and 50ish in the video here.
There's a vid of him performing this in 88, you can tell he's not a young man anymore but all the charm and charisma were there, and even a cheeky moonwalk at the end. Don't make em like that anymore. RIP Cab.
Think of how rare it is that someone is still performing the same song live after almost 30 years and people are loving it, and 90 years later, it's still getting millions of views. This is pre-television and in really the early years of radio. Cab's career began just when radio was becoming a household item.
@@johnking1381 and power. He could still belt at levels that could put most current radio vocalists into a box, even if he had lost some of it by then.
The beauty of music is in its universality. Throughout the ages, music has been a driving force for all of us. I'm an old man who listens to music from every age. From the medieval to the modern, it's all music.
Tell me you know nothing about what you write without telling me. Jim Carrey was that kind of comedian and had the character down before the mask was a comic or a movie. The inspiration for the mask and the character comes from northern mythology ...Loki. There are so much information about the movie and the comics and Jim carrey and his thoughts on the character. But people like you have to come up with some BS!!!! M0R0N
What a talent! Such energy! I keep thinking of Cab performing this in the Blue Bros . He was 73 in that movie still gettin it done! RIP Mr Calloway! 😊❤
My mother took me to see Cab Calloway at Steel Pier in Atlantic City in 1965. I was 6 years old and had no idea what to expect. Of course, I was blown away. But I had no idea of the lasting impression it would have on me throughout my entire life, as I regard musicians and performers. No one today could match his energy, his enthusiasm, and his creative joie de vivre. Fantastic!
I bet he was amazing to see wish I learned about Cab earlier in my life though I might've not listened to it as when I was younger I hated old music hated it with a burning passion but now I love it. I heard this song from an old Betty Boop episode when I listened to this song something flipped inside of my brain. His enthusiasm can't be matched nobody has that much enthusiasm his energy perfect nobody can match his enthusiasm or energy like you said I had to google what joie de vivre meant but his enjoyment of life was amazing it seemed he didn't let nobody put him down. I would've loved to see him perform I wish music was like this now
Have you heard of the Cork Jazz Festival? Great a Dutch band did a great rendition of this song this year. My dad was a great musician and would have loved it as I did last October!
Cab was jam-packed with talent and personality! I lived in Elmsford, NY for a while. As I and a friend waited for a bus, Cab passed by (He lived near Elmsford.) I was awestruck and whispered to my friend, "Why, that's Cab Calloway!". He overheard me, smiled, and gave us a casual salute. I'm sure the angels have been having fun singing Minnie the Moocher with him!
The man was absolutely phenomenal. He had so much energy in every performance he gave. Even when he was well into his seventies he was still giving incredible performances.

I was at a restaurant. A really fancy one and I heard one of Cab's songs come on and I swear I was the only one there who recognized my favorite jazz singer.
How about Ray Bolger, the scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz? He always appears to falling down but he never does and instead simply glides about with such grace.
I was just thinking that, how clear he sounds, from way back then, with no special mics and stuff. Truly Impressive, blew my mind, tho that sh*t happens to me all the time.
I renember seeing Cab Caloway perform this in the Blues Brothers movie and I nearly jumped out of my skin. Before that I had only heard that song long ago as a child. And he was old even then.
It’s very rare to be in simple awe at a person’s raw charisma and talent. Cab Calloway absolutely commands the audience’s attention with his performance and it is something that will never be duplicated again.
Cab Calloway is such a dynamic showman. His music straddles the line between being fun and abusing and being serious and virtuosic. Seeing him perform is a marvel
One of my dad's favourites. And Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Ella and Billie. Always had that msic playing in our house. Today, it brings back strong memories!
Cab Calloway - so multi-talented! Great singer, dancer, songwriter, composer. And I never get enough of watching the Nicholas Brothers dancing to the Cab Calloway band.😊
+Tristyn Rohlfing Not conforming to racial stereotypes in order to simply appear on television at all, perhaps? (It's not Calloway's fault the audience at the time was so white........hmm)
Bah. Look up Cab Calloway and watch all his "videos." He wasn't conforming to jack squat. This is how he always acted on stage. He was just being himself.
Cab Calloway and his song "Minnie the Moocher" are connected to the Harlem Renaissance because he was a prominent performer in Harlem, where the Renaissance flourished. His song reflects the cultural vibrancy and artistic innovation of that time, celebrating African American life and music in a way that became widely popular and influential.
Very jazzy and amazing singer/preformer! I like Cab Calloway's moves and expressions. I can see how the creators of the game, Cuphead got the inspiration for King Dice 🎲 ✨ 🎺 ❤
Hey y'all! I'm just glad that Cuphead is giving guys like Cab a new audience around 100 years later! I wouldn't have heard of this kind of music without it.

Songfacts®:
"Minnie the Moocher" was written by the famous band leader, jazz composer and singer Cabell "Cab" Calloway III, and the jazz music publisher Irving Mills. It was first recorded in 1931 by Cab Calloway and His Orchestra, and became their signature song for the next decade. Beloved by audiences, "Minnie the Moocher" earned Calloway the nickname "The Hi De Hi De Hi Man" based on his unique form of scatting in the song.
The song tells the sad story of a "red hot hoochie coocher" girl called Minnie. The hoochie coochie was a style of belly dancing with non-respectable gypsy origins, and was considered lecherous at the time. The licentious Minnie gets involved with a "kokie" conveniently called Smokey, a "kokie" being someone who takes cocaine. Smokey takes her down to Chinatown where he introduces her to opium, which is what Calloway meant when using the jive expression "to kick the gong around" in the lyrics. The rest of the song describes her opium-induced wish-fulfillment fantasy in which the king of Sweden gives her many gifts, including "a diamond car, with the puh-latinum wheels." Calloway doesn't tell us how this story ends, but he does wail "Poor Min! Poor Min" Poo-oor Min" at the end, which may be an indication that Minnie's a goner.
Fascinating. Thanks!

Most people today don't know that Cab Calloway was phenomenally popular in his day. First black American to sell a million records of a song. First black musician to have a national syndicated radio program. Thank to the Blues Brothers movie, he has now been seen by more generations of people.
He would’ve been 1 of the first because OKeh released Mamie Smith's Crazy Blues in 1921, the first record by a black artist to sell a million copies
@@thatonedud8325 That number for Crazy Blues is not agreed to by everybody. Some say over a million, some say not verified. It probably isn't verifiable because of the record keeping back then. Cab Calloway's was in 1931 and probably better record keeping by then. Time magazine did research and made a list that shows Calloway, but they only went back as far as 1923 (unfortunately) when Time Magazine was launched. So I suspect that Crazy Blues is an open question unless there is some authoritative source. Whether or not over a million, an extremely significant record to be sure. Of course the RIAA exists now, but didn't start giving out their awards until 1958. So no help there.
@@trainliker100their has been many more then that though like “The ink spots” or “Louis Armstrong” so cab Calloway is “one of the first”
@@thatonedud8325 There can only be one "first". The Ink Spots didn't even make their first recording until 1935. And while Satchmo had a great early career, I don't think he had a million seller until the 1960's.
word up
Cab was born to entertain. It’s not just singing for him. His dance. His singing. His charisma. Everything. I could watch him all day.
So ahead of his time. He’s almost break dancing.
You could see he really loved and enjoyed music.
Even as an old man in blues bros he still had more stage prescence and charisma than many performers today
absolutely! as a comedic stage actor, I take so much inspiration from him, and will often watch his performances before a show to get in the right mindset. Across all different disciplines, of entertainment, this man is the best of the best!
Best dancing I've ever seen.
In the 1950's my father came home one rainy night, opened his overcoat and pulled out a tiny kitten. We named her Minnie the Moocher.
Nice
😮😂 👌
I love when musicians absolutely dominate a scale just to show off their range, Cab did this and some. What spectacular stage performance he gave us, truly a unique character of our modern age
Dude, this fucking guy. Wow.
"You win."
I actually laughed out loud. Not a chuckle or internal laugh, I genuinely found that hilarious.
Its showmanship in its purest form, i did the same thing
It was so unexpected! I love it
I tried reaching that low, I would like to see if he could reach my lower octave F natural on tuba
Div me too!🥰😅😹💕
Battling a bassoon is hard
Disney used to draw over his dance moves for their animations because of how crazily animated his dance moves are already. 🙂
U mean fleischer?
That sweet old man from the nursing home who was given an iPod and headphones brought me here. This was his favourite band, he said. Thank you so much grandpa, this is beautiful indeed ♥
It's crazy how he can dance and waltz around like that and have such perfect balance.
Sniper Melon mhmm
I'd b out of breath before the first Verse
Look at some traditional Polish or Russian dancing. Very interesting
+Kyle Dudley We're still doing the whole calling everything autism thing? *siiiiiiiigh*
Sniper Melon have you ever tried just moving you feet. Anyone can jump around
Also, he's 51 years olsd here....in 1958....moves like a panther.
При всех уважении - больше похоже на шимпанзе...
51 in this performance?! Woah. Dude enunciates perfectly, too! What happened to them??
This is from 58? Wow I was guessing back in the early 40s or something. The dude was ageless. Remember Blues Bros? He was 73 there! Well, gone are the days. RIP Cab! 👍❤
People were healthy back then. Its hard to imagine but its true, people moved back then
It's 1958 we can never never never go back..... People we can bring the music back just listen to it .. . America lets do it together ❤ I'm here waiting for you. . Great music
The past really is another country. How do these incredible times, music, styles, ways of talking, fashion, architecture, technology, develop so quickly, and as soon as they have, they're gone. Each decade really is like another world on this earth. So emphereal. Thank goodness we have the ability to record and document some of it, so we may visit it in awe sometimes. This song is incredible.
Cab Calloway was certainly unforgettable icon and the talent he has was proof that he was ahead of his time.
If he gained popularity in his time, doesn't that make him perfect for his time.
So was Slim Gillard and friends:

It’s another language entirely, like the awesome Cab Calloway.
@@ChemistTeawell we’re watching it now, so it’s proven to have bern future proof. Better than most of the modern performances I see these days.
@@firepowerpinball lots of artists were popular during their time and are still popular today. He is definitely lasted longer than only his generation, but he was not ahead of his time. Which is really good for him, if he was ahead he'd be underappreciated during his time. Luckily that was not the case! Always appreciated.
How was he ahead of his time?
2:40 crowd was too stunned by the phenomenal performance to laugh at that hilarious punchline. That's okay Cab, all these years later it cracked me up
Lmfao 😂
I dont get it whats the joke sorry to ask but i feel like dumb to understand it xD
@@alepavon5667 He was competing with the obo in the band. When he ran out of breath at such low pitch, he declared the player as, "The Winner."
In short, banter
@@alepavon5667 yeah, it's like banter but with a cue, it fits the song, but it's also a funny aside
_whew_ "You win."
1:59 Cab Calloway has officially spoken 9.5 syllables/sec, which was not broken for VERY long after that(and then at 2:01 he spoke so fast he was surprised that the orchestra could keep up) and then in the end he gave the trombone(or whatever instrument was that) player a 'you win' because he could not do that surprisingly low voice as much as the trombone player 💀and then he gave another man a hi-five(in 1931)
its comments like these that keep underrated artists like him a legend.
Bassoon was the instrument in the vocal ending competition. I'm sure they polished that up WAY before trying it on film.
I noticed that at the end! He held the note for ages, couldn’t keep it up any more then gave the trombonist the nod. Great musicianship all round.
Cracking comment! 👍👍
he's amazing, his stage presence truly shines.
My dad loved this song, he would try to dance like that in the kitchen while mom was cooking. So much fun. When he later got Alzheimer's he couldn't remember this song. 4th anniv of his passing yesterday. Keep on dancing, dad, where ever you are!
He dancing.
Dancing, dancing!
Dancing in heaven, God is real, we are all brought before judgement and pass on if we bow, this place is all fake. Everything here is all fake now.
Sending my condolences...he dancing in heaven
He is dancing with Cab .
I'm so happy that they used Cab Calloway as inspiration for King Dice for The Cuphead Show. I'm so excited for the show and I screamed when I saw Dice dancing and singing onto the stage in the trailer.
Glad I'm not the only one that came straight to here after the trailer.

Such showmanship, I love it! I'd imagine that he probably got some side eyes for his spontaneous dancing back then and now, but he just kept doin his own thing
Wow, every time I see this. Never forget this talent.
He was 73 when he did this song in the Blues Brothers film.
Didn't looked his age that much, I gave him in the early to mid 60s in that movie.
@@Mangaka-ml6xo 1907, 114 years ago now he was born
An he Rocked It
How old was he when he did this?

Cab did NOT skip a beat😎.
Notice how 'big' and expressive all of his movements are. What a performance!

@@selfishteammate It's more to fit the stereotype of black people back then, if you make white man laugh "if you can't beat em', join em' ".
I saw Cab in Blues Bros, when I was like 5. Stuck with me ever since. That voice. The showmanship. He was and still is a captivating man. A literal legend, with platinum pipes. 👏
Same here, when I had a ps3 I used to watch Blues Brothers all the time.
I have not seen this performance before. It goes way beyond the other versions. What a talent!

If there was a club in my area...With this kind of music and style i would be there every weekend
Go to a synagogue. Cab would have made a great cantor. They sing like that at services all of the time.
I'm with you on that! Clubs today suck!
Bioshockotaku Pretty much... This would be soo amazing...
TheMagnificentPony LOL! What?!?
Entertainers like him basically are just on film waiting for us to find them. These were the golden years. Was great he lived so long.
You can tell when someone finds their calling. They do it, and they do it with everything they have, and Cab Calloway sure found his calling.
*RIP Cabell Calloway III* - December 25, 1907 - November 18, 1994
I listened to Cab Calloway on 78's when I was 4 years old! He was the "Prince" of his era. 💜
He's already 50 or 51 here folks, and still on top of his game. Kept right on killing it into his eighties and barely slowed all things considered until very near the end. Rightfully an absolute legend and without doubt one of America's greatest ever entertainers
@@megamiow3325 This footage is from 1958, it even said so in the clip. But he did the record in '31 or '32 IIRC. So he was mid twenties when he did the audio recording and 50ish in the video here.
There's a vid of him performing this in 88, you can tell he's not a young man anymore but all the charm and charisma were there, and even a cheeky moonwalk at the end. Don't make em like that anymore.
RIP Cab.
Think of how rare it is that someone is still performing the same song live after almost 30 years and people are loving it, and 90 years later, it's still getting millions of views. This is pre-television and in really the early years of radio. Cab's career began just when radio was becoming a household item.
@@johnking1381 and power. He could still belt at levels that could put most current radio vocalists into a box, even if he had lost some of it by then.

I really think this is where Jim Carrey got his inspiration for The Mask. Cab Calloway is a true legend and pioneer in his own right!
I can definitely see the resemblance
Not to mention the Mask is dressed Pachuco.
I also think ODB got a lot of his showmanship from Cab
Tell me you know nothing about what you write without telling me.
Jim Carrey was that kind of comedian and had the character down before the mask was a comic or a movie.
The inspiration for the mask and the character comes from northern mythology ...Loki.
There are so much information about the movie and the comics and Jim carrey and his thoughts on the character. But people like you have to come up with some BS!!!! M0R0N
Oogie Boogie from The Nightmare Before Christmas was inspired by Calloway..
What a talent! Such energy! I keep thinking of Cab performing this in the Blue Bros . He was 73 in that movie still gettin it done!
RIP Mr Calloway! 😊❤
Kyle u buggin...this is str8 fire. 🔥
My mother took me to see Cab Calloway at Steel Pier in Atlantic City in 1965. I was 6 years old and had no idea what to expect. Of course, I was blown away. But I had no idea of the lasting impression it would have on me throughout my entire life, as I regard musicians and performers. No one today could match his energy, his enthusiasm, and his creative joie de vivre. Fantastic!
TheJustgetit just asking are you 59 or 60
I bet he was amazing to see wish I learned about Cab earlier in my life though I might've not listened to it as when I was younger I hated old music hated it with a burning passion but now I love it. I heard this song from an old Betty Boop episode when I listened to this song something flipped inside of my brain. His enthusiasm can't be matched nobody has that much enthusiasm his energy perfect nobody can match his enthusiasm or energy like you said I had to google what joie de vivre meant but his enjoyment of life was amazing it seemed he didn't let nobody put him down. I would've loved to see him perform I wish music was like this now
You're so lucky!
TheJustgetit damn you old as shit lol

Cab was jam-packed with talent and personality! I lived in Elmsford, NY for a while. As I and a friend waited for a bus, Cab passed by (He lived near Elmsford.) I was awestruck and whispered to my friend, "Why, that's Cab Calloway!". He overheard me, smiled, and gave us a casual salute.
I'm sure the angels have been having fun singing Minnie the Moocher with him!

Now I learned so much and love my relationship with god I know he loves and cares for me AND HE LOVES AND CARES FOR YOU TOO!

I was at a restaurant. A really fancy one and I heard one of Cab's songs come on and I swear I was the only one there who recognized my favorite jazz singer.
I like how happy he seems. I hope he had a good life.
Judging by him still being as happy in the blues brothers performing this song, he did
Cocaine will do that.
if you have to resort to hard drugs like coke then you have some issues you need to address. This guy, however, looks genuinely happy.
Hes still alive
Smug Bastard He died in 1994
I’ve never seen someone with such clumsiness yet with perfect balance 😂
Lexie Lovett couldn’t say it better myself 😂
Just watched Stormy Weather with such great performers like Cab..Fats Waller and Lena Horne
How about Ray Bolger, the scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz? He always appears to falling down but he never does and instead simply glides about with such grace.
@tyvek05 I'm pretty sure that's basically what he meant.
How bout you try and do this?
Every year I introduce my students to Cab Calloway and this song and their reactions are worth it every time.
2:13, such an amazing and powerful voice, no mic needed
I was just thinking that, how clear he sounds, from way back then, with no special mics and stuff. Truly Impressive, blew my mind, tho that sh*t happens to me all the time.
It’s 2022 and Cab Calloway *still* goes hard. Goosebumps. I love him.
Heck yeah
Fax
@chewbacca show some respect
2023
Exactly. ❤
It’s about to be 2020 who still listening to this masterpiece? Everything Cab did was amazing and so unique
One of my favs
Yes, and everytime we watching his videos his SPIRIT is still around.......
Me too
It's new year's ...1/1/2020...love
Someone will be saying the same thing in 2080
I renember seeing Cab Caloway perform this in the Blues Brothers movie and I nearly jumped out of my skin. Before that I had only heard that song long ago as a child. And he was old even then.
It’s very rare to be in simple awe at a person’s raw charisma and talent. Cab Calloway absolutely commands the audience’s attention with his performance and it is something that will never be duplicated again.
2:41 “You Win” you just don’t see that kind of thing that often now a-days.
DarkraiKing people were more humble back then
you obviously don't go out to concerts
At concerts but that’s about it
@@dehydratedpotato6643 what exactly do you think this is?
Gabriel Ryan a concert
It's December 2020 and Cab Calloway's genius still abounds.
Without a doubt
Still in March 2021!
FOR REAL
Me gusta este tipo de música! Que generó es?
También me gusta la de Ray Charles!
Still holds the worlds record for swag.
2:29
He totaly challenge the musician. So adorable when he say:
You win
Cab worked every angle like a master. Stage presence, a roaring voice, crowd participation. The guy was 30's Vuadevile personified.

I’m dying 😂

That is hilarious!

Cab Calloway is such a dynamic showman. His music straddles the line between being fun and abusing and being serious and virtuosic. Seeing him perform is a marvel
Like Patti LaBelle.
Wow,this man is amazing. I can never get enough of The Great Mr. Cab Calloway. Brings a huge smile 😃 on my face every time.
Man was absolutely electric
cab started the hardcore movement. look at those mosh pit moves
+Mundi Odium It's a deer butt taxidermy
Iggy pop cited cab as one of his biggest influences
Sesame Street exposed me to Cab Calloway
Just a giant as a vocalist, bandleader and performer. Total rock star!
Different breed back then, such charisma and total showman.
@@ickbar Before there was rock,there was Cab Calloway!!!❤️🙏❤️
And like a rock star he was a great fan of cannabis smoking.
One of my dad's favourites. And Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Ella and Billie. Always had that msic playing in our house. Today, it brings back strong memories!
Heard it the first time in the Blues Brothers movie, loved it then and i love it today
U got that right 👍
I wish this was in Fallout.
Ok.
Would fit the vibe
agreed

Cab fighting the air
😂😂🤣🤣
He got some intense beef with that air
XD
Stand User fight
th-cam.com/video/paOZTlqI1wk/w-d-xo.html Cab Calloway needs to unite with Tyler, the Creator to destroy the air.
Cab Calloway - so multi-talented! Great singer, dancer, songwriter, composer. And I never get enough of watching the Nicholas Brothers dancing to the Cab Calloway band.😊
Simply one of the best there ever was or will be. A true American treasure, a true human treasure!
Now THAT is a man that is passionate about music.
"You win." XD
SouthCalifas619 "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
WeirdCommentsUh It gets so quiet that I keep thinking he just has his mouth open and the static is what's making the noise.
+Louis Coffin hi Louis,hows the music business going,found you think was here or spotify a few years ago
+Mark Goffin Wrong Louis, sorry. I don't have a music business.
SouthCalifas619 i keep running it to you didn't you have a flat head that video on flat heads
What a gifted man he was! Every second a miracle
I love this pioneer….of everything!………even when he forgets his lines…..again…lol🫡😎
I wish Cab Calloway was a drug.
Imagine the shit you'd see.
lol
XD
Cocaine Cab is what they called him
Bon appetite!

An amazing voice, amazing style, and an amazing, huge, energy-filled smile. Where are all the men like Cab Calloway in today's day and age?
+Tristyn Rohlfing Not conforming to racial stereotypes in order to simply appear on television at all, perhaps? (It's not Calloway's fault the audience at the time was so white........hmm)
Bah. Look up Cab Calloway and watch all his "videos." He wasn't conforming to jack squat. This is how he always acted on stage. He was just being himself.
+Tristyn Rohlfing You're not looking in the right places, Ma'am, i can tell. Having a cat in your profile picture will help alot :)
+Tristyn Rohlfing Poor and out of work to the good lokin folk
Well Cab was most certainly off his tits on charlie back then so I guess if you want to meet a guy like Cab then move to Bristol, UK?
Cab was the coolest cat in the alley
Cab Calloway and his song "Minnie the Moocher" are connected to the Harlem Renaissance because he was a prominent performer in Harlem, where the Renaissance flourished. His song reflects the cultural vibrancy and artistic innovation of that time, celebrating African American life and music in a way that became widely popular and influential.
Cab says two words that leave me in stitches laughing!
“…You win!”
0:22 on my way to steal your girl
😂😂
About died, my dude. Thanks for the laugh XD
😭😭😂😂
FOESHOW
FOESHOW
That’s how my great dedushka (grandpa in Russian) did
A bye gone error I wish we could go back to the good Ole days. Imagine that 👏 😊
Very jazzy and amazing singer/preformer! I like Cab Calloway's moves and expressions. I can see how the creators of the game, Cuphead got the inspiration for King Dice 🎲 ✨ 🎺 ❤
1:25 The drunk sheriff swinging his lasso after he was called to catch a bandit
Hey y'all! I'm just glad that Cuphead is giving guys like Cab a new audience around 100 years later! I wouldn't have heard of this kind of music without it.
Oh yeah. Cab is the real king dice
and Mugman... but not Bowl Boy. =)
Also from Betty boop
Who is Cup man?
@@pamelahunt8722 Cuphead. The main character of a newer tv show and video game bearing his name. The show and game are made to look and sound like the really old cartoons.
Now that's a man who loved what he did
thank god for the blues brothers showing this 80s kid the wonders of life with variety. mission from god? mission from god.
2:32 we wont find another sweet man like him thats for sure. If Minnie the Moochers heart was as big as a whale then Cabs was ×10 bigger
...you win
300th like
I can definitely see the influence this wonderful man has on King Dice character, really!
Freddie Mercury must have been inspired by him. what a showman!
Great singer and SHOWMAN!
