Cab Calloway in Sweden 1965 

Without question Cab was the all around greatest entertainer who ever lived!

For a entertainer like Cab Calloway who had been in the business for as long as he was he deserved a standing ovation, I cant believe they sat on there asses.

Pound for pound one of the best entertainers of the last century who made it look effortless and fun decade after decade. It's one thing to be singing a hit in 1931 but to deliver that track with the same vigor and joy in 1965 all the way to the early 1990s? There's only one Cab Calloway and thank heavens we had him.

I know, i'm repeating myself: what a performer that was. OMG.

What a time to be alive we just don't have talent like this anymore

Not only was he incredibly talented, he had charisma!

His talent for storytelling and bringing the lyrics to life is unique and MASTERFUL.

Waaaay ahead of his time

Amazingly Charismatic....Great sense of humor as well....

The original cat who go back all the way from the 1930s, he was really original in his trade, the innovator. His legacy will go on

CAB WAS GREAT AND WONDERFULL.. ONE AND ONLY COOL AND TALENTED..

SENSATIONAL!

The original “Front Man”. That says it all folks, he really was.

The man was a hell of an entertainer. So much fun to watch, love the crowd reactions.

...на 8:31 закончилась знаменитейшая Beatles'ская *"Can't Buy me love"* !! .... внимательно всмотрелся : Такое ощущение,будто бы исполняет ---- Гарик Сукачёв со своей группой :" НЕПОРТЯЩИЕСЯ ". Ваш Ромчик из Саратова 🎧🎩🇷🇺 Июнь 🔴24год

Somehow I am saddened to watch this. Cab ended up performing in smaller clubs in the 50s and 60s and his before so energetic jazz music became Las Vegas entertaining a white audience. His voice and persona is still intact here. His dance steps on Jumpin´Jive - The Shim Sham Shimmy thoroughly enjoyable, however watching all these audience clapping out of tune on 1 and 3 - sigh...!! I saw him in Denmark back in 1985 with his daughter. I do not recall how many attended but indeed not over crowded. Most people knew him from Blues Brothers. I think his version of Cant Buy Me Love here does it, and funnily enough Ella Fitzgerald recorded that one as well. Despite my lukeward reception of this - I loved every bit of CAB indeed. Thank you.

Absolutely fantastic. Thank you Albert Ahlf for this. Can anyone say whether the orchestra members were Cab's men from the States or were they local Swedish musicians?

Grandioso!

Amazing - I wish I could move like that! The man had styyyyyyle!! (And didn't the audience do well in Minnie the Moocher?)

woulda made a great actor too

Bunch of stiffs listening to one of the greatest entertainers of all time.

Cuando los artistas, compositores e interpretes eran de verdad geniales, con un aura tan especial y hermosa, para que con su arte, animara a quien se encuentre triste o poner más contento a quien ya lo está, los artistas de antes siempre serán los mejores en todos los sentidos.
