Cab Calloway and his orchestra in Minnie the Moocher, a Betty Boop Talkartoon (1932).

Stephanie posted Cab Calloway yesterday, so here's more. Unfortunately this is another "embedding disabled by request" video, but here's my favorite version of Cab Calloway's famous song:

Minnie The Moocher

Cab Calloway & the Blues Brothers Band in The Blues Brothers (1980).

Jumpin' Jive

Cab Calloway, his band, and the Nicholas Brothers in Stormy Weather (1943).

Now, I adore Cab Calloway, but it's the Nicholas Brothers who blow my mind in this clip (particularly at 4:00).
