Classic Sesame Street - Cab Calloway sings "Hi De Ho Man"

@caloscalante1518 Pete Seeger beats that—69 years, from 1940 to the present day. And there's Little Jimmy Dickens—late 1930s to the present.

haha... I always liked this one! :D

cab used to love to gamble up at yonkers raceway---he was some character

So true!

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!

you think they would have brought out the big guns when it came to a muppet back up band for cab calloway. those guys are a little lackluster.

Cab was fabulous. But I have never heard anyon call him "Cabby" ...never. Who made that up?

Holy crap! At remebr this after so many years. I'm now 32 & I remeber trying to sing along to this as a kid. Didn't do so well. :)

he was still doing his shows well into the 1990's i remember seeing an ad for his new years eve show on some fancy hotel in the east side in nyc (carlyle???) i bet he had those rich mofos hidey-hidey on straight to his bank act.lol.
