Fab Cab was only 26 years old here and already leader of the hottest band doing films. He was a rockstar before that term was invented.
Jazz genius...not ROCK STAR. Black people hadn’t invented Rock and Roll yet...🙄🤨
I agree whith u this man was a genius and the dancing that he did it's amazing
Yes sir whay before prince
i'm sure there's a term for it
Coolest Cat to Ever Exist!! ;)
only 30’s kids remember this 🔥
Who tf on here from the 30’s u goated😂
@@byronmarshmightgu1359 he’s joking lol
I can confirm! Im from the late 20s!
@@AlienChoppa hyper senior 💀
Bugs bunny cartoons planted the seed to us about Cab back in the 70s. Then seeing him in the BLUES BROTHERS was cool. Now it’s utube university that’ll hip some of the young. Cabs train will keep on keeping on.
I'm a 21 year old man that is listening to music that is almost a century old. I'm thankful for the internet because I'm able to see such great musicians like cab and many many more.
and im 13 tech is the best gift god has givin us
❤️
Thank God for the internet because all I ever hear are negative things. I would never know this kind of good stuff existed.

You don’t like it?
@@houseofmaranatha2841 Cut just proved your point. He just a schoolyard bully looking for a fight.
Cab calloway was the swing era equivalent of Prince and Michael Jackson. Cab calloway was the bomb.
He also did the music for many Betty Boop Videos!
This is where Teddy Riley picked up and brung it back in the late 80s early 90s! History repeats it self
Was thinking the same exact thing!!!!
No doubt!!
Don't compare him with Michael jackson
How badass does that guy look playing double-bass in that way on the train ...
I was thinking the same! He didn't get enough credit..played it just like a guitar
💯💯💯💯💯💯❣️
One of the coolest things ever
Double bass? You mean standup bass.
Yes very cool 😎
4:36. Welp now I know where James Brown, Michael Jackson, and Prince got their moves from. That whole sequence is smooth and wild.
And add folks like Bill Robinson and the Nicholas Brothers.
Both of his parents were college professors and he was a college graduate. His parents were not keen on him going into music but it called him and he answered.
Daddy was a lawyer
Ah, so he was a bit of a rebel. Good thing. He had too much talent to just put it on the shelf.
No matter how much he moved his hair it just magically fell back into place 🥰
It was dyed, fried and laid to the siiiiide.
@@cee_willy Cab had straight hair, not relaxed, conked or fried.
@@GypsyFairy85 lol nah, his hair was curly when younger and after years of straightening and lye, his curl pattern was gone. Most black male musicians back then processed their hair.
@@cee_willy But he didn't straighten, neither did Lena Horne.
It didn't dare not! He was Cab Calloway!!
He was so handsome. I think Im in love 😍
I want to believe that he is who "great gatsby" was based off of as far as look goes. Along with the mast name for Mr:Callaway
Holy shit,I think I just did a conspiracy theory
"Yes !!❗😮😍
Facts. A beautiful man
Yas
Lite skin hot!🕵️♂️🎷🥁🎤👠🎼🎶😋
Cab was ahead of time, in every way.
He could dance, sing and scat . AWESOME
1:06-1:18 is the inspiration for TI's "24's"
T.I. know about cab calloway
Then Drake took the inspiration from those & came with “Rich Flex”
It’s actually the sample they used

RIP Cabell "Cab" Calloway III (December 25, 1907 - November 18, 1994)(aged 86) you will be truly missed, and thank you for entertaining us.
I was blessed to see him on NYE in SF with my Pops as a kid in the mid-70s and got to chant the hi de ho with him...
Being born in Christmas is crazy
I have a brother born on July 4th@@tjcooldude532
He dipped out atta good time
Cab Callaway is the coolest dude ever! When I lived in New Orleans I saw him perform in 1980, and oh man, he still had it! But seeing him here in his prime is such a delight... When he sings it just gladdens my heart and lifts my spirits in these troublesome times ...
My dad took me to his concert in the mid-70s in SF on NYE and it was better than Elvis or the Stones. Doing the hi de ho chant in the crowd is something that I will pass down to my grandkids...
He was in his.80snwhen he appeared in the Blues Brothers movie...
@@cbroz7492 **73
He passed in 1994 at 86. You cab see his last performance from 1993 on YT
amazing❤❤
Him in New Orleans in the 80s mustve been something else, I cant even imagine...
New Orleans has never and could never be the same since Katrina...
That's a class and style that doesn't exist anymore, not even when replicated.
The thing is, there's virtually no one in the entertainment "business" that even HAS class and style....so of course they can't replicate it. Especially when compared to a LEGEND like Cab Calloway !
Michael Jackson came close.
@@ITILII Class and Style like Calloways can only be held by people who genuinely possess it from the start. It's something you're born with, not into. Naturally hollywood is terrified of anything you can't fake and claim as your own so out it goes!
@@americancitizen748 For a minute or three.
Calloway had (has) staying power.
You said it brother!
I have an overwhelming urge to buy a Homefire Radio.
And within weeks you might have a whole band marching straight out or your bedroom😂
That and the urge to begin an interracial relationship
They used this as an example for targeted advertising in my business class so i guess it still works all these years later lol
the urge to have an entire band appear in your house
@@henkdetenk3480 The woman was black. She just could "pass".
I see many people on the internet saying they were born in the wrong era but im glad i was born with the internet around or i would have never seen this wonderfull things in the comfort of my couch.
His dancing is so advanced! It would fit in in 2023 no question. That boy is good!
It's the end of 2023 and this almost a century since this marvelous show didn't stop being in our souls! It was and still is unique.
Lovely music 🎶 🎵 🎶 🎵
Saw him live twice in ‘82 and ‘93. Still had a wailing voice and smooth in his shoes too.
Everybody is so nice looking in this...even their pajamas looks good on them.
Cab Calloway was a very handsome and talented man.
His band was great the best love the way they vibe together
Cab Calloway: the original Head Banger!
Such an underrated comment 😂
Yooo he pulled out a gun and Cab strolled off with his band that scene was amazing
🤣🤣🤣🤣
He sure did! Straight up G! 🤣
Bro she had the whole band over 😂
i know, right? it reminds me of Slick Rick or of Humpty Hump
@@afroize HAHAHSXJ
Can you just imagine being on the train while those fellas were rehearsing?
I'd put a bullet in my head if I knew I'd wake up on that train.
Pretty sure it's a set
The train was on the wife. Choo choo!
You mean trying to sleep lol
@@BespokeJoe 🤣
He was a very special and unique entertainer. He could lift your spirits, get you dancing, and make you feel good just by his presence and talent. Awesome.
4:36 - dancing
Wow I remember seeing this in the 70's as a lil boy.....i was so fascinated by Cab and his style, awesome post thanks!
Read his autobiography... I got to see him live in SF on NYE in the mid-70s...
Thats crazy that like the 80s for us
I'm 52 and I just love that music 2024 after Eclipse 2024
88 years and still going strong, what a legend.
Cab Calloway is a very smooth superstar & his footwork is absolutely amazing. His energy is electric. This hep cat is the inventor of Rock ‘N’ Roll. One of NY’s finest 🗽⚡️💜
4:36 - footwork
@@someguy2744 I love it 💗
I grew up listening to guys like this, and I am 69 years old and my Mom is 100!!!!!!!!!!
Suited men with class and dignity. Beautiful women enduring hard times. It’s easier today, although you really have to search for that level of style and sophistication. Thanks for posting this inspiring reminder.
The way he swing his hair is hilarious 🖤
I love it
Shout out to Cab Callaway and Wilona from Good times (Ms Janet Dubios)🥰❤️🖤💚 I'm a huge fan of both so it was no surprise to me that Ms Dubios is his daughter, she was always singing and dancing on Good times 🥰❤️🖤💚 rip to the both of them ❤️🖤💚
Thanks for this info. I was not aware that Ja`net Dubois was his daughter.
@@chrystallee5528 I wasn't aware until she passed and then they said he was listed as her father on her birth certificate
Cab calloway just has this special way of music that just cant be replicated ❤
Saw him in person at a Harlem Globe Trotters game in Los Angeles in the early 60s or late 50s? I was a kid. I’m 75 now what a thrill! I didn’t know who he was but saw him in Blues Brothers movie. My stepdad tried to tell me who he was but found out later. What a game that was with Meadowlark Lemon on the Globetrotters and high energy Cab Calloway!
WOW, I got to see them both but not at the same event. That had to be so cool. Watch all of his movies, he was pre Elvis...
The power cab Calloway had in his voice is absolutely unreal.
Cab was the equivalent of Prince in his day. Love That brother's timeless music.. ✌
I have this movie on DVD and I treasure it. Cab Calloway looks just my dear daddy. They look like they could be brothers. RIP Daddy and Cab Calloway.
I'm just laughing at how he was like "heres some cash to buy a radio to keep your wife at home." wife still goes out and Cab swoops in like the smooth king he is and did his thing. Then laid in dudes bed when he came home lmao
DEADASSSSSSSS
Not just him though... The whole band! HAHAHA
Yeah, I wooda whooped cabs ass that night.. lol
@@timyoung5812 😂🤦🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
2:54 “it brings the artists into your home” and they weren’t lyin 😂
This is totally awesome!! I remember seeing Cab Calloway on The Blues Brothers!!😊💃
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.
I think Music is extremely lucky to have known Cab. My God, that Man.
can I get yous to cap this bowl I'm smokin? NNahhh the prescription stuff.... yeahhh Ver G'harget or Terrier Haggis aaahhh hhhaaaaa ahuah tanx Mac or Ma'am
This gave T.I. a sample for one of the greatest songs of all time
Need For Speed Underground 1 on Xbox
Ok I knew that was where T.I sampled for 24s
8:19 thank you for this who ever decided to put it in there, I really needed a Cab Calloway kissing scene 😍😘
What a sexy musical genius...so DAMN GOOD he is still going strong and will be for centuries to come!
I’m at a teen age old here! I love this genre of music, i wish today’s generation would bring this back!
Look into Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, they do a bunch of this style music, also Squirrel Nut Zippers... Once you start watching that type of music on RUclips they will give you others that are similar.
You have a bright future ahead of you
Sticks and stones
yea me too
We had an electro swing revival in the early/mid 2010s 😣
The way they march out of the apartment at the end was hilarious...
Classic. He was still performing into his 80s and looked good for it
Pops took me to see him on NYE in SF in the mid-70s, the best show of my life even after the Stones and the 83 US Festival...
Cab Calloway was one of the best entertainers of all time I heard about him when I was a child I watched him in movies and an old videos and movies and the band was so*so*young people need to watch this just to know how to be cool
Cab and his band made it look like jazz was the greatest thing on Earth. Why sleep when you could play jazz?
Cab Calloway! The Coolest of the Cool!!!
This music video is better and has more time and thought put into it then almost all music videos today
🧢
The band yes. The words bout like mumble rap lol
If listening to Cab Calloway doesn't put you in a good mood, then there's no hope for you.
That's means there is NO Hope for the Thumbs down voters.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He was wonderful ❤️
The truth
My father used to sing hi de ho. I saw him when he was no longer as popular doing a half time show of a Harlem Globetrotters basketball game,
I was a kid in the mid-70s and Pop took me to his concert in SF on NYE and he rocked the house like 1934. This was just after the Blues Bros so he was cool again but I already knew who he was. He was hip and cool before all of the rest...
Although I hate witnessing the colorism (you could NEVER see a darker-skinned sista as a love interest, or interest of desire in these old films) ..I, still, LOVE watching old footage and films with our Black legends, such as Cab Calloway, The Nicolas Brothers, etc ..THANKS for sharing :)
I've noticed the same thing. I try to ignore it.
As a Grateful Deadhead of hundreds of shows
The best of jazz Reggae, and Rock icons
These bunch of musical miracles just killed.
Thank you. I loved it ,
Musical masterpieces is God speaking to us heart to heart
I remembered seeing some of Cab Calloway here and there when I was a kid, but I had almost totally forgotten. His work is a national treasure! What an absolutely brilliant, amazing, and timeless genius! 100 years, 200 years, or even a millennium from now, this man will always be timeless and amazing.
The Mask 1994 took so much influence from him.
and michael jackson
Yes!
Omg I never noticed that either
Oh yea big time
I thought it was Tex avery who was the influence for the mask
Damn...
A Hi-De-Hi-De Ho is exactly what she was... 😲 I watched this with my Grandpa when I was a kid...Totally different experience watching it as an adult.
Right!
I don't think Can was using that word in that way. You need to respect women properly.
@@georgeb.wolffsohn30 Pfft! Ain't no women thing. It's a generation deal. Here is a harsh lesson for you young'ns. It's not just men who use and abuse, Some Hoes will take advantage to those who are too soft. Respect is earned, not simped for brownie points.
@@undeadgentalmen something these young cats don’t understand. Feminism had turned all of them into simps.
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.
After playing Cuphead, I realize now that not only is King Dice based on Cab Calloway, but the melody of the song in the beginning, heavily reminds of the Phantom Express boss fight!!
YES !!!
That baritone sax break was really something - that is a HARD instrument to play rapid passages on.
Don't you think it was lip synced? Not much going on there as far as embouchure is concerned.
25 years old and I've been listening to this for 3 years now
Thanks for posting this musical trip down memory lane!
I had that grandma who sit back and watch this type of stuff all day ❤😂
It's her era
@@patriciajin6206 mines too❤️🍫I watch these old musicals and westerns all day
little did he know rappers would use this as a sample
He certainly could entertain. Man is a genius, so gifted. His moves pre-date Michael Jackson by a 50 years. Thanks for uploading.
Did anybody else notice TI samples the first part of this for the song “24s”
Classic material.
Way Before Hip-Hop and RnB was Jazz . Jazz and Blues is Soul Music ... But even before that was Gospal and or Spirituals ..... All of which I love to listen
4:36 bro is getting sturdy af
This is like being in a time machine
Eu sou completamente apaixonada pelo Cab jovem, não sei explicar
Me pasa con Miriam Hopkins
Sooo much talent he was amazing
Thank you grandpa, you were right about this talent. Love Cab
Awsome, the sample for T.I’s tune 24’s
Need For Speed Underground 1 on Xbox
He was Morris Day before Morris Day! They need to do The Cab Calloway Story before Morris Day's too old!
Great idea
Who could play him???😯
@@itstheru274 easy andre 3000 he can dance and sing
@@yakamarezlife Too dark skin, a lite skin brother will sufice to play Cab👨.🎷🎙🎼
@@MrRed-tf7bv who do u think could pull it off
Amazing. Thank You Sir for The Beautiful Flavor of Music..2023 To Infinity and Beyond and Back.❤️🤲📿😔💐💐
Cab Calloway sang this song on Sesame Street and I still remember it from childhood.
This song was sampled in Icon, Rich Flex, and 24s, which have all hit 20M or more, one getting 100M
It really doesn’t get much better than this
I'm loving it, jazz at its best! Can Calloway it excited until his retirement.
It's crazy that this still gets sampled. Wounding if his family still getting checks.
In the end cab just waltsss right out the door without fear dats crazy😂what a wonderful man with such talent💯🖤
Oh my got there was a baritone saxophone solo! That never happens in jazz and I love it
Очень раритетное видео, замечательный музыкально-юмористический эпизод. Почто сто лет назад люди были такими же, как мы.
This is waaayyyy ahead of its time
I've watched this so many times... honestly this performance has probably my favorite version of Zaz Zuh Zaz because even though I love the studio recording this one is just so fucking raw with absolute talent. Love Cab.
Love how the bass goes along with the train chugging.
God, if you hear my prayer, I want and need a man like Mr Cab Calloway, please. Amen.
What a charming, handsome, fascinating man. 💕
Read his autobio...
Calloway was THE MAN!! I wish I could go to the Cotton Club when he performed, and when Ellington did, too. In other words, every day of the week.
Classy talented black folks well done!!!!!
Perhaps the greatest radio commercial ever.
Knock! Knock!
Who's there?
Heidi-Heidi.
Heidi-Heidi who?
Hey! Who are you? Cab Calloway?
the ending was out of this world!!😂😂😂
Lol this is Trapped in the Closet well before R Kelly lmfaooooooo. Cab is too handsome and smooth.
That Ain't No Secret !!❗😄😍
HOW CAN 3 PEOPLE NOT LIKE THIS?
Amazing musicians!!! God bless them all in heaven!!!
1:06 My favorite part. The beginning
He was jamming
Love Minnie the Moocher ❤R I P Cab Callaway 1907-1994❤
I'm learning the history of Jazz @ 39 and MY GOD the things Black American people have done is AMAZING even in another life with pain, stigma and all Id always want to be BLACK I mean my God. We are prideful without due respect and that's says alot about us
