What's the song that sounds like minnie The Moocher that they kind of changed for a Quavers crisps advert in the late 80s/early 90s? Remember it?

ah ok. maybe they only did it for the ad, but i'm sure i've heard it elsewhere. it sounds almost exactly like minnie but slightly different melody and a bit faster. cheers for the help all the same :-)

Don't forget his performance in the Blues Brothers movie!

Personally I prefer the one with St. James Infirmary Blues: http://youtube.com/watch?v=DBk3jwNSteo

Stone classic. Early 30's stuff is just incredible - everybody needs to hear some Cab at least once in their life.

4 years pass...

Sadly, the recent PBS documentary on Cab isn't all that great but skip ahead to the interviews with Landis, Cropper, Dunn for some great Blues Brothers stories.
