I remember watching this movie when I was around 12 years old. Had never heard of it before just started watching it and loved it. It's It has become one of my top 3 favorite movies. It also introduced me to the world of the blues and some of the best blues musicians/singers.
I remember buying the soundtrack on CD and playing it over and over again. I think I was the only pre-teen that knew of Cab Calloway and could sing "hi-de-ho" .
wow, I was a weird kid
I thought the same thing at that age, and then my music teacher at the time was like "oh hey fun fact I played Minnie The Moocher with Callaway before he died" and busted out a picture of him with Callaway
He and I both played trumpet so I learned how to play those lines from someone who performed with the legend himself, and Ive always thought that was one of the coolest things I've ever done
Plenty of pre-teens knew who Cab was.
