Cause he was having a good time...Handsome, can sing and dance.Probably had a few nickels too.Dont know his personal character,but probably had ladies falling at his feet like rain drops on roof!! Shiiiddd!!! He was have a wonderful f$cking time!!!
Most African-American performers of that era smiled all the time because white audiences demanded it. Cab smiled all the time because he was opiated to the gills and cool as liquid helium.
lol cab is just chezzing and dancein he must have been in a good mood then againg when wasnt he when he is around music man he must have really loved music i mean just look at him 2:00-2:11
Cab! This man is some kind of force of jazz nature! How you not LOVE him! Out there! On point. And he didn’t even sing on this one! Somebody help me-what’s the song where Cab sings “I know where I’m goin’ but I just can’t navigate sistah!”
@lady12480 Can you blame him for smiling though? This music is all about good times and smiling, all depression and war time era music was composed this way..
Actually, Cab sang it in "Blackbirds of 1928" and I'm looking for that recording on TH-cam, it's way over the top. I have it on vinyl, just too lazy to get it out.
I wouldn't be able to sing with Cab Calloway shaking and smiling like that next to me.... I'd start laughing so hard!
Cab Calloway always looks like he's having so much fun
To me it looks like he's dying inside while bullshitting the fuck out of everyone.
he was stoned

@@NuisanceMan In Stormy Weather it was a black audience granted he wasn't smiling as big but he was still smiling.
Jonah is playing some beautiful trumpet here. Everybody is having a ball. Music is so wonderful.
lol cab making that face at Jonah the whole time was hilarious
***** I bet Cab got paid by his dentist to do some advertising for him.
god i love this man so much! its like someone bet him he couldn't the happiest man in the world. he won the bet fair and square.
He did love his opium
make me smile!
Cab was about the coolest cat!
Cab Calloway always makes me happy! He's gotta be the coolest man that's ever lived.
And Joan Jones is an amazing trumpeter! :D
this is pure magic
Cab king of swing
A high energy performance by the great Cab Calloway. His band has talent also.
What an add for Colgate, and Jonah Jones on trumpet,sure is a great combination.
lol cab is just chezzing and dancein he must have been in a good mood then againg when wasnt he when he is around music man he must have really loved music i mean just look at him 2:00-2:11
His smile is contagious
Hilarious. Amazing that all this media is now easily available for us all to enjoy. The original music videos!
one more thing i have seen alot of cab and i have never nevetr seen him this happy
i never tire of looking at this
The great Jonah Jones on trumpet
Yes, what a great, obviously underrated, jazz trumpeter, love his sound on the Super Olds trumpet. Even without a mute!
I love cab:)
Cab calloway was an all round performer such a nutter that's why I like his performances so different back in the day😊
Friend: When will you give me the money you owe me?
Me: *plays this song*
lmao
For a minute there I thought cab's mouth was going to reach around and eat his brain out. (I will always love you cab)
Milt Hinton is playing a mean bass on this video and Cozy Cole is grooving on the drums.
Absolutely fabulous
Pure feelgood fun!
So, THAT'S what it looks like when Cab Calloway lip-synchs to a trumpet. I'd always wondered...
I love the way Jonah looks tired of Cab's shit but the band looks like they love him
Maybe they were also stoned.
I know right?🤣
JONAH JONES A MASTER
Cab! This man is some kind of force of jazz nature! How you not LOVE him! Out there! On point. And he didn’t even sing on this one!
Somebody help me-what’s the song where Cab sings “I know where I’m goin’ but I just can’t navigate sistah!”
Stunning!!!
I wish someone looked at me the way Cab is looking at Jonah
Inline watching cab Calloway he’s so entertaining and funny
This is just far-out great!
Jonah Jones was a fabulous trumpet player
@lady12480 Can you blame him for smiling though? This music is all about good times and smiling, all depression and war time era music was composed this way..
it must be painful to smile that long
que tipo mas increible y cool
WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From a 72yo Aussie fan.
Seemingly, a bit over the top, but nevertheless a super showman of his era and a genius for all time. RIP.
Wish I could see Cab's footwork! Guy looks nice up there!!
Haha the guys laughing in the background!
Brilliant 🤩
the bass player is Milt Hinton, and I am pretty sure the drummer is Dave Panama Francis.
fabulous!
Genious of thé genious
Awesome!
He really has style
haha love calloway ! me if i was leader of a swing band
Amazing.
Wow 😎✨
Looks like they get a big kick out of him! Great entertainer!
The facial expressions of Cab Calloway are funny
cab looked like a Charlie Chaplin double. And it's a compliment.
Thanks Kab, u is kwayzeee
cab definitely got drunk before every performance. lol great artist
Not alchohol...
Jonah quoted the song "Umbrella Man" in his solo!
"anyone knows from where is this tune jones shortly plays around 2:15 until 2:21?" "The Streets Of Cairo" by James Thornton.
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaan, I'm looking for this song for over 3 years now. I love you.
That dudes smile is freaking me out, awesome song though. I dig.
I love how at the beginning of the video Cab's hair is slicked down and lays perfectly, but as soon as he starts dancing it turns into a mess
everyone gangsta til cab calloway starts lip syncing the trumpet
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Very funny!
if your life was all Hep Scat Jive, you would be smiling like that too!!
I don't think this was a Cab Calloway song, I think he just wandered onto the stage and wanted to annoy the band playing there.
That's somethin I'd do
@@GrilledCheese_Master Me too.
One time I went to a bar to see a band, and Dave Mathews was there, but he wasn't performing. He was just there.
Actually, Cab sang it in "Blackbirds of 1928" and I'm looking for that recording on TH-cam, it's way over the top. I have it on vinyl, just too lazy to get it out.
lol Its like no one noticed how nice the trumpet player was
Although he did technically errrm... contribute to the song, the title should actually say Jonah Jones - I can't give you anythin but love
cab looks like the reefer man lol
Wow that guy to the right is truly completeley wasted
KriZeZZ It's part of his charm 😂
KriZeZZ opium
@@brendacx6100 No he's the REEFER MAN! He ain't High he's SAIL'IN!
Is this the same Jo Jones , the drummer, who was featured with Mahalia Jackson at Philharmonic Hall Easter Sunday 1967?
dont you hate it when fans get on stage
Jonah threw the spitball at Cab,but Dizzy got blamed for it.I think Cab must have talked to the Reefer Man before they did this tune
Wow is this true? o:
Was Cab Calloway perpetually stoned or something?
Did cab just smack his head? Like that LOL
i bet hes high.
Looks like Cab might have inspired a young Jerry Lewis as far as "dancing" and "lip syncing" to the music!
To much energy: Cab
Calm: Jonah
anyone knows from where is this tune jones shortly plays around 2:15 until 2:21?
@mikek015 ....you mean high
@ArtyoneT LOL...he is!
Parece as musicas do desenho de Pica Pau. kkkkk
Im pretty sure cab use to consume pure cocaine
dig it to china
@hedgehoglet ;)
Sooooooooo TERRIFIC !
Wak
