popular entertainers of the1930 s and 40s following success of his first hit minnie the moocher success did not come easy for calloway he became famous through perseverance and hard work calloway also went to law school until he met a man who would change his life forever calloway met louis armstrong who tutored him in the art of scat singing using nonsensical sounds to improvise melodies 1 according to grandpa and other knowledgeable sources we can say bob effros probably did the laughter in the graveyard for this betty boop cartoon he played trumpet on countless max fleischer cartoons including betty boop popeye donald duck as children we always told our friends listen to our grandpa on these cartoons as young ones we knew little about his impressive career in jazz big bands a wonderful personal memory meeting mae questel grandpa s friend and better known as the voice of of over 150 betty boop cartoons at 11 years old i was skeptical of all the famous people grandpa claimed to know remember this blog is a journey of research joy and love delving into bob effros jazz music life and legacy i met mae questel in forrest hills new york at my grandparents apartment she told us when she was 17 she won a local contest for a girl that sounded and resembled famous singer helen kane whom resembled max fleisher s sexy witty cartoon character according to imdb mae questel came from an orthodox jewish family whom deeply disapproved of her having an entertainment career and had their wills drawn up accordingly in the last years of her life she starred in a woody allen movie she showed them show biz can be a real career mae questel i was only convinced by mae of her identity when she did her betty boop voices along with hilarious sounds imitating voices of popeye olive oyl and the quacking voice of donald duck grandpa bob was also infamous for his celebrity impressions the two of them completely delighted us grandchildren whom adored these cartoons and of course remain major fans any writing of betty boop credit must be given to mae questel s influences not only to helen kane photos below but esther jones known as baby esther a wonderful early african american jazz singer helen kane note there is quite a bit of evidence showing that kane stole her schtick from a black woman named esther jones who went by the stage name baby esther 2 jones an african american singer in the late 20 s worked regularly at the cotton club in harlem jones was known for singing in a distinctive baby voice her signature song was i wanna be loved by you where she scatted the lines boop oop a doop esther jones aka baby esther credits with more on max fleischer and other cartoons in future posts minnie the moocher was banned due to early censorship laws people felt that the content of the video was too mature be shown as a cartoon to the best of our knowledge this cartoon and image are public domain if not please advise and they will respectfully be removed
