Does anyone remember Cab Calloway, a famous jazz musician from the 30's and 40's? He wrote Minnie The Moocher, The Reefer Man, and Ain't Got That Swing. Does anyone still remember him?

Yowzuh!
That tall, wild-haired, white-tuxed dynamo bobbing and weaving in rhythm, is still a fond memory---in my collection of movies, I have performances of Reefer Man (in "International House") and some early shorts---and of course, you can hear him in some of the Fleischer Betty Boop 'toons, The Old Man of The Mountains and Minnie the Moocher, especially.

I had the pleasure of seeing him perform live at a show in Palm Springs when I was younger, back in the late 80's. He was an old timer back then, but he could still dance a jig and wow a crowd. Truly a classic entertainer in every sense of the word.

Yes! He and his band replaced the Duke Ellington orchestra at the Cotton Club in the 30s! Freakin' wicked!
