CAB CALLOWAY: MINNIE THE MOOCHER

On this date in 1931 - Cab Calloway and his orchestra recorded Minnie the Moocher on Brunswick Records. It was the first recording of the famous band leader’s theme song.

Watch Cab throw his hair around. He was as famous for that as he was for his dynamic dance steps and presentation. "Hi - Dee - Ho!!"
