WHITE STRIPES AND CAB CALLOWAY

What classic song has been performed by both the always cool White Stripes and the even cooler Cab Calloway...

...not to mention Artie Shaw, the Ventures, and Robert Crumb?

FROM THE ANIMATION ARCHIVE

Here is the St. James Infirmary section of Betty Boop's "Snow White" from 1933. Yes, that's Cab Calloway singing! What wonderful animation! Produced by Max Fleischer, directed by Dave Fleischer.

ARE YOU HEP TO THE JIVE?

I don't know what these guys are smoking, but all I can say is I'm glad they don't test musicians for performance-enhancing drugs the way they test baseball players, or these guys would be in serious trouble. A fine performance by Cab Calloway and his amazing band.
