The legendary Cab Calloway had a career that stretched from the 1920s to the Hollywood blockbuster ""The Blues Brothers"". His orchestras brought to the world some of Jazz's greatest stars of the future. Our ongoing series that looks at actual chart records by Jazz and Blues greats features 20 of Cab's Billboard chart entries.

Cab Calloway was a jazz singer who maintained fame from the 1930's through his death in 1994. His most famous song was "Minnie The Moocher". His music has also been used in those famous Gap dance commercials. This collection of his best work, Hi De Ho Man, was originally released as a two record set in the 1970s on Columbia Records. We now present all 20 songs from this album on a single disc CD! Wounded Bird.

The influence of Cab Calloway simply cannot be understated. He was present at the genesis of R&B, rock, hip-hop, swing, and jazz, and his contributions shaped the way the world hears pop music. Thankfully, this task fell upon the zoot-suited shoulders of an artist of wit, intelligence, energy, and the ability to connect one-on-one with his audience. This collection includes tracks from the late '30s up to the late '40s and offers listeners a taste of all Calloway's incredible talents. From his hepster raps like "Are You All Reet?" to his hits like "Minnie the Moocher," Calloway's performances are carefully orchestrated yet loose-limbed and sparkling with humor, and for recordings in mono, the sound is surprisingly good. Highly recommended. --S. Duda
