"Blues in the Night"Cab Calloway
Originally released 1942
Featured on Cab Calloway: The Absolutely Essential 3 CD Collection
Jazz, Blues
CD (this version obviously, originally vinyl)
B
Now this is a cover that works for Cab, with the chorus chiming in to undercut the self-pity. In fact, they offer proto-Pips back-up at times. Not quite r & b (more blues than rhythm), but you can see how this version of the song must've been influential to pre-rock-and-roll.
