Cab Calloway’s Iconic Performance in Betty Boop’s 'St. James Infirmary' Dance 🎶

From the 1933 Fleischer Studios classic Betty Boop: Snow White, this unforgettable sequence features jazz legend Cab Calloway lending his voice — and his dance moves — to Koko the Clown through early rotoscope animation. Calloway performs the haunting “St. James Infirmary Blues” while Koko glides, slinks, and dances through a surreal, dreamlike cave. This moment is celebrated as one of the greatest fusions of music and animation in the early sound era, blending Fleischer’s trademark rubber-hose style with Calloway’s electric stage presence. Public domain gold for both jazz lovers and animation history fans. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ziggy's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ziggystaraussie/ Joel's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/peasinamerica/ Contact Ziggy and Joel: peasinamerica@gmail.com Lichess: https://lichess.org/@/Gr33Nsm0K3 Chess.com: https://www.chess.com/member/gr33nsmok3 https://linktr.ee/ziggystaraussie https://linktr.ee/joelfulton311 #thankyou #loveyou #lovedreamsmile #increasethepeace
