Song of the Day

Reefer Man- Cab Calloway This is a beautifully restored music 1935 music film of a hyperactive Cab Calloway singing Reefer Man. It's amazing how many songs about marijuana come out of that era. Cab Calloway was the first swing band leader to emerge from Harlem's legendary Cotton Club who premiered such great jazz musicians as Ellington, Basie, Dizzy Gillespie, Ben Webster and Doc Cheatham.
