Sesame Street has had guest stars from nearly all eras of the 20th century. It's extremely hard these days to find an entertainer with the impact and talent of someone like "Cabby" Calloway.

    Heavens to Murgatroid! Cab Calloway...the King of Cool...on Sesame Street! Guess they gave him this song to do because "Minnie the Moocher" would have been much to risque for the kiddies. Amazing that the late great Cabs still had such awesome energy so late in life. Truly he was a force of nature. THANKS for sharing this delightful clip with us! And may ALL your wishes & dreams come true in the New Year! :)

    Pete Seeger beats that—69 years, from 1940 to the present day. And there's Little Jimmy Dickens—late 1930s to the present.

    Actually he first recorded in 1930 and his first recording session produced a number 16 hit, his version of "St. Louis Blues". The same year he filled in for Duke Ellington at the Cotton Club, before later taking over as house band! He actually had two more substantial hits after that, before recording the original version of his huge, career defining smash "Minnie the Moocher" in march of 1931! But yeah, his is the longest career I can think!
