well being hooked on the van ronk version (syracuse 69) this seems way to clean (boring?), despite the hat and fancy vintage video fx

[xoxTheKillerAnnaxox]

It was written by Cab Calloway in 1928 . It was on the soundtrack of Betty boop, that's how it got famous .

[Grabbael]

@xoxTheKillerAnnaxox sadly, it is not a cab calloway original.

[tycer18]

[Fedmutt]

based off the English folk song "The Unfortunate Rake" St. James Infirmary was possibly written by a man named Joe Primrose. Made famous by Louis Armstrong in 1928.

[YeshuaKingsKid]

[baptist]

Joe Cocker's version is also remarkable

[joesatana]

mola!

[1wiesehoefer1]

nice 5********

[buskerbuoy]

Willie the Wimp must have a lineage from this tune.

[kingajinga]

were can i find the lyrics to this song, i looked it p but i couldent find this version

[buskerbuoy]

There laid out in the Satchmo version

[GuillermoAQ]

Is this Maxim Nucci from Yodelice singing ?

[theHabits8]

well done!

[calebsauls]

j. primrose = irving mills... but they don't really know if it was him, it's just speculation

[CarlSchwamberger]

@calebsauls I suspect Irving Mills reworked a funeral dirge melody. The lyrics as he wrote them seem to be arraigned to showcase Calloways voice. Compare this melody with Minnie the Moocher. Mills also was part owner of the Cotton Club.

[rkc010]

J. Primose wrote it.for those who were asking

[xXmaxwellskitchenXx]

love it Kane!!!

The St. James Syphilis Study is one of the most horrendous examples of research..Black men offered free medical care were injected with the Syphilis virus , none were told that they were infected with syphilis in 1932. They were not treated at a level that was judged to be sufficient to cure the disease The subjects received heavy metals therapy (injected with mecury} but were denied antibiotic therapy when it became clear in the 1940s that penicillin was a safe and effective treatment.

[rogue3838]

Wow, I had no idea that was what this song about. Thanks for the info!

[stroke4711]

The Original song was an English folk song .

St James infirmary was in London in the region of St James palace, and the song travelled all round the world, Every country had it's own versions and it eventually ended up in the U.S.being 'bluesd up' and that's the version most people now know. The high top stetson hat reference comes from when it was a country/cowboy song before it was a blues/jazz song. So guys like Cab Calloway were the final recipents rather than the original writers.

[destihado1]

Beautiful intro!

[prodigy00073]

Very cool !!

Wasn't it Cab Calloway who wrote it?? I could be wrong :S

Anyways great stuff man!!

[enakrium]

No one knows for sure who wrote it....its just one of those classic's everyone covers.
