Cab Calloway's Jitterbug Party (1935)

moonwalk or back slide invented by the great englishman charlie chaplin in the year 1916 from the movie pawnshop

Cab was a great performer. His smile lights up the room like a Super Nova.

It's really funny...these men could perform for white folks but couldn't ride in the front of the bus or enter through the front of the very clubs that they were asked to perform at...Calloway, Armstrong and many other artists of that time were men of great talent, dignity and humility at a time when most of their so-called fellow Americans didn't recognize their influence on music around the world.

Class.

Managed that spin move LONG before Michael Jackson

Blacks weren’t allowed in the Cotton Club for almost all of its existence because they couldn’t behave themselves in crowds.

Harlem was still mostly white even when this was shot.

すげーー！！！！！

They've had a full stop alright

Probably The Coolest man of All-Time !!!

I Remember him when I was a little girl I love to hear him saying and tap dance love you Cal Galloway

The best days are in the past apparently

Hitler probably heard his girlfriend playing some of this.

Cab Calloway had the IT factor. He had talent, charisma and good looks.

Cab was so handsome and charismatic, a real joy to watch and listen to.

musicians are still very talented, but nobody is as much as cab was

What a SWINGER!!!!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Spectacular style!!

Cab was cool with class.
💃🕺

"A musical description of darkest Harlem." 🤣🤣🤣🤣

How fabulous was he? Just brilliant!! ❤

What a handsome, talented man Cab Calloway.

One of the greatest songwriters and performers to ever live.

I'm guessing Elvis may have seen Cab in action prior to Elvis's Fame

ナットキングコールに、白人に喜ばれる歌い方を教えたのはキャブキャロウェイでした。

To think he could have sat in a brand new Ford Model M as a baby and a McLaren F1 as an old man.

RB One - Thank you so much for these gems of solid gold. It's very much appreciated.

oh how well my mom spoke of cab,fats,count ,duke, nat,louie jordan, trianon ballroom chi in the 40s we grew up the bands our parents played on the record players and taled about .................cross pollinization.

Wonderful!

What a talent. No one could scat like Cab.

Can ,count Basie fats waller I could go on all night the music from that time was with out equal

Who's that pianist!? Some fantastic stride he's playing!

Great clip and good quality. Cab was one of the greatest entertainers ever.

It’s so good ❤ finger licking good 👍 😍

They was getting sturdy

The ram is fine I've been over clocking playing catch up.

Cab is still the definition of cool in 2023..Whatta guy!!

So weird to think how different everything was back then. Second world war hadn’t even happened yet. Scary thing about that is that every person who was going to die during the war, was still alive when this was filmed.

Where is the Cab Calloway biopic this man’s life story needs to be told.

cab coisa mais lindaaaaaaa❤❤❤🎉

Cab had such class! He was the greatest. I enjoy a you tube of him at 81 years old doing Minnie the moocher and preformed the "moon walk" the crowd went nuts. He is another that will be entertaining people til time ends. RIP Cab!

Asked about 25 years ago at a music store for his records. They didn't even have anything by him and clerk never heard of him. I mentioned The Blues brothers movie but alas he hadn't heard of it either!

How did he get his hair straight like that. ?

Great stuff thanks

Cab created the Jive Dictionary, 1 Cool Cat!

My parents saw him on their honeymoon.
