- Here is my favorite performance of Cab Calloway doing St. James Infirmary. The other uploads of this performance on youtube are either cut or don't have the same quality.
This is from his movie "Hi Di Ho" - บันเทิง
Cab Calloway was way ahead of his time. It's no wonder he fit into the 80's and 90's so well.
not really lol in todays world he would look like the circle k junkie, leave him in his era he did his thing for his time
@@ZaidrianSpiders He's intentionally playing a junkie in this performance.
very well rounded... bandleader, singer, and all-around entertainer
Absolutely Genius. Why have we not got a full scale Film/Movie of this man's life.
Because no one can play him and get his whole being right
Cab Calloway was undoubtedly one of the sexiest voices of all time. He could have talked /sung you into anything.
He was amazing - I am only coming to appreciate his talent. He was way ahead of his time. The straight faces of the audience is a mystery.
To be watching this back then.. probably trying to process the beauty before them
They had never seen anything like it. It's like when I first saw Star Wars back in the 77. I had never seen anything like it, that is why i went to see it five times.
A profound astonishment is the reaction Cab Calloway receives after every performance, because wow wow wow 🤩
I love his voice so much!
That glitch in the video at 2:29 is perfect!
The glitch at 3:07 is great too.
The one thing in this life I like better than bitches is glitches
It felt like I was watching a YTP for a second.
2024 and we still holding it down Cab!
Cab Calloway was the entertainment himself! Terrific vocalist, terrific dancer and even good at drama!
I just saw this version for the first time. Cab filmed at least two others - all of them are unique/bizarre/compelling - one in a Betty Boop cartoon, the other with Cozy Cole's quartet with Jonah Jones. The trumpet soloist in this version is Paul Webster who was a high-note specialist with some of the best bands from the 20s to the 60s.
I seen him on a episode of the game
Show Beat the Clock,he was good.
My cat jumped out of the window when he heard the trumpet.
Not out the window but off the window sill.
This version is even more amazing. I don’t know how this is possible
Wow! What a singer, dancer and overall performer!
I love Cab Calloway. Yrs ago in the Bijou theater in Manhattan, they showed stuff like Flash Gordon &cartoons like Betty Boop singing Hells Bells b4 the movie.
Wn I was young it cost 25 cents to see a cartoon & a double feature & 10 cents 4 candy & it wasn't near our house. We had 2 b driven there & call to get a ride back so 1 of us had an xtra dime 4 the call.
An outstanding showman and jazz musician
2:58 wow, that pitch is way too perfect.
Art at its finest. We can see in that performance, Charlie Chaplin's influence, Michael Jackson's influencer. Paradoxically, so fresh...
No wonder MDHR took Calloway as a base for King dice he looks like it and is Jazzy like it. Love it! 👌
*claps 👏👏👏*
Love 😍 his "Minnie the Moocher" too...iconic music & acting from a "Jazz Age" master...the down n out costume adds to the story he's telling...genius
This song will resurge
I like listening to cab he's great to listen to!😂❤
I love cab calloway he is the prince of hi de ho you will always be remember ❤️🌹
Superb! What an entertainer! 💚
This is from a movie that contains all of the black nightclub performers as they traveled what was called the "Circuit". The performers were black and they played high class nightclubs across the country.
CAB CALLOWAY was a genius! CAB CALLOWAYS' music is behind almost every BETTY BOOP cartoon and the movements of the cartoon characters are taken from CAB CALLOWAYS' own dance moves.
Believe it or not, MAE WEST was a part of the black scene. She only hired the black musicians of her day for the music in her movies. The movie producers wanted MAE WEST to change her music to white musicians and she refused. Her movies made so much money for the studio that they backed down. MAE WEST had total control over all her material - she wrote the scripts, actors, music, musicians, total control of her productions. MAE WEST performed in Las Vegas until her death. All her background dancers were black men. MAE WESTS' Las Vegas show WAS an upload on this media. MAE WESTS' own digs, her own apartment, was used in her movies, also. It was all white with mirrors on the ceiling and she never changed a thing up until the day she passed away. They say, JEAN HARLOW and MARILYN MONROE were the two blonde bombshells and there was never a third. How wrong they are as MAE WEST WAS the blonde bombshell. It was only her considered extravagance, her personal associations with and her using black performers, that they did not reveal to the public, that kept her from being known
publically, as the blonde bombshell of her day. C'mon! Anybody that looked at MAE WEST knows she was THE blonde bombshell.
PBS had a program on Mae West life. Well worth the watch. I think it was "American Experience." She was WAY before her time. Fortunately I taped all of her stuff on VCR tape before they put it in mothballs. Quick with the wit! Original blonde but not dumb blonde by any means.
1:42 true talent lmao
Saw this movie this morning!!! Great 👍 to find this!!!😃😃😃
What movie?
I mean his voice never aged ❤
The audience's reaction is just so realistic I mean seeing him walking like a cartoon character is
Audience : What is he doing someone call the coco
Michele Brown they probably told people afterwards “seeing Cab Calloway sing has changed my life... no, you don’t understand, it was disturbing. I don’t know if I’ll ever have a happy moment again after that, I lost a part of myself that night. The man has ground me to dust and ruin with his voice.”
I love everything about it
The glitches are hilarious
What a band!
what wondreful sound
Folks, I'm goin' down to St. James Infirmary
See my baby there;
She's stretched out on a long, white table
She's so sweet, so cold, so fair
Let it go, let it go, god bless her
Wherever she may be
She will search this wide world over
But she'll never find another sweet man like me
When I die, bury me in my straight-leg britches
Put on a box-back coat and a Stetson hat
Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So you can let all the boys know I died standing pat
An' give me six crap shooting pall bearers
Let a chorus girl sing me a song
Put a red hot jazz band at the top of my head
So we can raise Hallelujah as we go along
Folks, now that you have heard my story
Say, boy, hand me another shot of that booze;
If anyone should ask you
You just tell 'em I've got those St. James Infirmary blues
2:29 he’s so good at dancing he stoped time to match the song
So observant,missed that.
@WM_Nonsense WHY DO I KEEP FINDING YOU!?
well ,now we know who influence'd on tom waits in the best way possible.
Maravilhoso!
I love this.
gracias a estos afroamericanos la música norteamericana surgió a flote
Cada vez ke escucho esta cancion... es como si lo ubiese vivivo en aquella epoca. Soy del 83 pero me atrae tanto esta era no se del porque.
I can’t help but have the biggest gosh damn smile when this guy sings, an I’m only from 2012 and I’m obsessed with this era.
Cab Callowy was cool b/f the concept existed!
Fantástico!!!
Increrable
El amo completo

Subtly at its most delicate.
For some strange reason I like this... is it just me or other peeps like this too?
It's called having a good taste in music.
Anyone who doesn't like this is an idiot
one of my favorite songs tbh. Cab is one of the best performers of all time
Why would you not
I'm not even 20 yet I'm literally obsessed with this 😅
THE BIG . 75 YEARS ANNIVERSARY - SOON COME

Years before James brown.
The black Charlie chaplin
Jermecia Lindsey I guess he is a racist now, so sad. What talent!

20 anos depois a banda inglesa the animals regravaria
I am a musician and I can say that Amy Winehouse had the identical personality
ENCORE 6-ENCORE
1:39
Raw talent from the 40s....than transcends until nowadays.
The way of expression and Almost burlesque just hook all the people attention.
In the weirdest way possible.
is the ending like a reference to snake charming?
was he high?
Every one dead.
Soy el único Latino aqui?
Yeah lol
Thrasher font
1:42 when your friends joke was little to racist

The man, and his band!
