      I like his playfulness with words. This is my first time listening to Calloway. Hes one of my faves now for sure 🖤 if you guys have any other people of jazz to listen to let me know, this is so fun.

    Hi Di Ho and Minnie the Moocher are Cab Calloway's most famous recordings. He was so popular they immortalized him in Cartoons which is an accomplishment. Now, every generation can learn about him. Even little children, if their parents enlighten them as my mother did her children. This was my sisters favorite by Cab Galloway.
