Hi-De-Ho 1937	Film	1937	A Vitaphone film short available on the video collection Swing, Swing, Swing, vol. 2.	This is an excellent short in which Cab worries his mother because he is unemployed and spends all of his time conducting songs on the radio. A passing deacon (a truly remarkable-looking individual) passes by while Cab is singing, "I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues." The deacon takes Cab to his Gypsy fortune-telling wife, and Cab learns of his (mostly) rosy future. Other songs performed in this short are HI-De-Ho Miracle Man, Frisco Flo, and an instrumental of uncertain affinity to which Cab does some remarkable scatting and dancing.

The lyrics are based on those of the folk song, Willie the Weeper, and the melody was modeled on St. James Infirmary and Prohibition Blues. It is a call-and-response song which has more verses than Cab ever sings. Cab insisted that Minnie was not a real person. See pages 111-113 in Cab's autobiography. 2) In our opinion, the best version! Cab appearis rotoscoped as the ghost of a walrus while performing; his band members are other ghosts. 3) This version remained unreleased for many years because Cab wailed in the style of a Jewish cantor, which offended some people at the recording studio. Cab almost certainly did it because he liked the sound, and not in an effort to mock people. 3b) This CD includes two takes done on the same date. 8-9) Recording includes just a few bars of the song.
Minnie the Moocher	Film	1) 1932 2) 1942 3) 1947?	1) Betty Boop Cartoon, available on video in: 1a) Betty Boop, the Definitive Collection, vol. 2 1b) Betty Boop Special Collector's Edition, vol. 2 2) Film short available on: 2a) Cab Calloway and his Orchestra 2b) Minnie the Moocher and Many Many More 2c) Black Artists of the Silver Screen, Music and Comedy Masters, vol. 2 3) A film short by Snader Telescriptions, available on Cab Calloway and His Orchestra	1) Max Fleischer (Producer), Dave Fleischer (Director) The cartoon shows live footage of Cab and His Orchestra performing Prohibition Blues while Cab dances. Cab is rotoscoped as the ghost of a walrus while performing Minnie the Moocher. The cartoon ends with the instrumental Vine Street Drag. 2) This film short was a "soundie," intended to go into a juke box of sorts that had pictures as well as sound. It gives us excellent shots of the band members, and features a Shad Collins solo. 2a) This is the best copy of the three. 2b) This one is sepia-toned and rearranged for the purposes of the documentary. 2c) The sound is bad on this copy. 3) A late film of uncertain age, with a shadowy Minnie dancing in silhouette behind the band.

Skunk Song, The	Song Film	1942	Song and film short of the same name, available in: 1) Cab Calloway and his Orchestra 2) Black Artists of the Silver Screen, Music and Comedy masters, vol. 5	This film short was a "soundie," intended to go into a juke box of sorts that had pictures as well as sound. This is really fun footage! Cab Calloway, Tyree Glenn and the Palmer Brothers perform the vocals. Cab makes some really remarkable faces. Tyree makes little comments that are just a bit off the mark. Shad Collins performs a solo. 1) A good copy except that the beginning is clipped off. 2) A complete version, but the sound is distorted.

(Primerose, arranger) This song originated as a folk song. Cab's early recordings of this song are beautiful and his late ones are terrible! It was his signature tune until he replaced it with Minnie the Moocher. Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong also recorded St. James Infirmary. 5) Really pathetic versions of this fine song.
St. James Infirmary	Film	1947	A film short of the song, available on the video Cab Calloway and his Orchestra.	This is the only piece in which Cab Calloway abandons his dignity. It is awful.
St. Louis Blues	Song	1) 7/24/30 2) 7/8/45	1a) Cab Calloway and the Missourians 1929-1930; JSP Records 328 1b) Cab Calloway and his Orchestra 1930-1931; Classics 516 2) Cab Calloway and his Orchestra: "The Radio Years" 1940-45; Jazz Unlimited, 2027	(Handy) 1) This is gorgeous version of St. Louis Blues, in which Cab soars vocally, holding one note forever and then proceding to the next one without drawing a breath! Both the lyrics and melody are changed radically from the usual arrangement. The most famous renditions of this song are by Bessie Smith and Louis Armstrong. 2) This is a swing version, not nearly as good as the 1930 recording.
Stack O' Lee Blues	Song	11/18/31	Cab Calloway and his Orchestra 1931-1932; Classics 526	(Lopez-Dotwell) Originally from a folk song called Stacker Lee.
Stardust	Song	10/21/31	Cab Calloway and his Orchestra 1931-1932; Classics 526	(Parish-Carmichael) Better than Nat King Cole's version!

Tee-Um Tee-Um Tee-I, Tahiti	Song	11/2/38	Cab Calloway and his Orchestra 1938-1939; Classics 576	(Johnson-Schuster-Powell) Lively song with vocals by June Richmond.
That Man is Here Again	Song	3/3/37	Cab Calloway and his Orchestra 1934-1937; Classics 554	(Samson-Collins-Calloway) Cab has a lot of fun with this one, and so does the listener.
