[David Richoux]

This site lists a 1943/44 version:

> 1) Cab Calloway and his Orchestra: Soundtracks and Broadcastings -  
> 1943/1944; Jazz Anthology 550232
> 2) Cab Calloway: Minnie the Moocher; Prime Cuts Jazz Legends; SLD

> (Brown-Henderson-DeSylva)
> Low-quality recording and inadequate liner notes.

A wikipedia article says CC recorded it in 1926 (maybe with the  
Missourians?) but there are no links (and nothing on Rehotjazz.com).

I will look through my Cab Calloway collection soon, I have a LP and  
CD of early Missourians somewhere.
