This article about Cab Calloway (1907 – 1994) fails to mention the three movies he had appeared in prior to 1941 but it answers many other questions you might have had about the musician's first thirty-one years.

The profile does tell us about his rapid rise through the Twenties and Thirties jazz world, the fact that he coined the term "Jiggerbug", and most importantly, you will learn about the origins of his signature "moronism" "Hi-de-hi-de-hi".
