Calloway sang 'Minnie' throughout his long career, including a rousing version he performed in the 1980 film 'The Blues Brothers,' when he was an agile septuagenarian. An equally unlikely pairing was the wild abandon, yet perfect control, with which Cab Calloway sang this minor-keyed fable. Minnie, herself, is characterized as both 'rough and tough' and big-hearted, and one who hung around with types as disparate as 'Cokey Joe' and the King of Sweden. 'Minnie' bears more than a slight resemblance to a 1920s ditty titled 'Willie the Weeper,' a song about a 'chimney sweeper' with a drug addiction.

In all, Jacobs made nearly 170 recordings (on both cylinder and disc), in 23 separate languages, documenting some of the final speakers of many of these dialects. Melville Jacobs (1902-1971) was an anthropologist and linguist whose research and field recordings have made a crucial contribution to the preservation of Native American languages of the Northwestern United States including Athabascan, Chinook, Coos, Kalapuya, Lummi, Lushootseed, Sahaptin, Tillamook, Tlingit and Tsimshian.

'Memphis Blues' was soon standard repertoire and was re-recorded as late as 1942 by swing era bandleader Harry James. With the help of bandleader James Reese Europe, the dancers Vernon and Irene Castle used it to promote their version of the emerging popular dance the foxtrot, but no recording of it was made until July 15, 1914, when the Victor Military Band cut their hit version, helping to pave the way for the jazz and blues crazes that would sweep the country within a few years. It caught on quickly and was soon being performed by bands around the country, introducing Handy's style of 12-bar blues to a wide audience.

These surviving 20 cylinders of 48 once produced, provide an insight not only into the Yiddish-speaking community of the era but also into the difficult assimilation of Jewish immigrants arriving to America at the turn of the century. Eventually released by the Thomas Lambert Company of Chicago, these releases (some manufactured in unusually vibrant colors) also represent the first releases by an ethnically-owned and ethnically-focused record company, a risky venture at a time when a US-based audience for foreign-language music had yet to be established.
