Cab Calloway, Betty Boop.

As per what I read, a bedtime lullaby about disease, death and alcoholism. Love the animation with that.

concludes in .

mixed jazz and vaudeville like no others in the 1930s. A leading exponent of scat singing, inspiration for the current hip-hop scene, and one of the greatest bandleaders of any era. He died in Delaware in 1994.

Here's "The man from Harlem", a tale of a mystery man.

And so we finish where we started, with a song about New York. If you have been, thank you for listening.

Snow White with Betty Boop.

This one is special. Cab Calloway sings Saint James Infirmary. He's also rotoscoped to provide the movements of Koko the Clown when he sings.

Just because I saw this shared elsewhere and yes, I've seen it before, and you've possibly seen it before too, but why wouldn't you take five minutes to watch the truly unbelievable levels of dancing skills of the Nicholas Brothers with the great musical accompaniment from Cab Calloway and his band any time you get a chance?
