Background
He was a regular performer at the Cotton Club in Harlem, where he became a popular vocalist of the swing era. His niche of mixing jazz and vaudeville won him acclaim during a career that spanned over 65 years. Known for his unforgettable renditions of Minnie the Moocher and St. James Infirmary Blues, Calloway also lent his talents to films. The Singing Kid (1936) showcased his Hi De Ho delivery, and he was also featured in The Big Broadcast (1932), Manhattan Merry-Go-Round (1937) and 1943's Stormy Weather, which also starred Bill Bojangles Robinson, Lena Horne and Dooley Wilson.
