Known as the "Hi De Ho" man, Cab Calloway was a legendary figure in American pop culture. An energetic showman, gifted singer, talented actor and trendsetting fashion plate, Calloway also led one of the greatest bands of the Swing Era. He had several hit records in the 1930s and 1940s, becoming the first African-American musician to sell one million copies of a record. And he was the first African-American to have a nationally syndicated radio program.
As part of the Peabody Award-winning documentary series “Jazz Profiles,” this episode about Cab Calloway was produced in 1997 by Dan Gediman and narrated by the show host Nancy Wilson.
The “Jazz Profiles” shows – nearly 200 of them – are part of the Tim Owens Jazz & Broadcast Collection at the University of North Texas Music Library. In a partnership with Tim and UNTML, we’ve picked a handful of noteworthy shows to share with you. You can find more “Jazz Profiles” shows at the UNT Music Library’s Jazz Syndicate (www.library.unt.edu/jazzsyndicate), here on the 32 Bar Blues YouTube channel, or wherever you get your podcasts.
