y'all know that the "Minnie the Moocher" scene in The Blues Brothers (1980) is a direct reference to Cab Calloway's original performance of the song in Stormy Weather (1943), right? that it is a nod to one of the most prolific films dedicated to showcasing the vibrant world of the Black talent and artistry of its era? and that The Blues Brothers includes it as a thematic through-line to illustrate that their film is an homage to the legacy of that talent? right???
