On this day in 1931, Cab Calloway recorded "Minnie the Moocher." It was the first jazz album to sell a million copies.

Go watch it on YouTube. I would normally have it here for you but I have totally had a brain meld and can not remember how to add the video to the blog.
So anyway, Cab Calloway was one of the greatest jazz artist's of all time and a true American original. ENJOY!!!
