A True classic, Cab Calloway and Betty Boop. I love Cab's sound they don't make good music like that any more.

Another interesting tidbit… Betty Boop was based on entertainer Helen Kane, who stole her act from an African-American entertainer.

I was just about to add this article. I found out about this a few years ago and haven't been able to look at Betty Boop the same since.

Can you share any other similar videos or songs from this time linking to Black history ?
