The Scatman who was axed in the ‘Shining’?

Yes, that Scatman Crothers. He was a professional musician before he became an actor.
-
His theme from the controversial 1975 movie Coonskin is one of my favorites.https://youtu.be/Xgxzs9-ZNhk

Amazing that Scatman was a true fetish actor for Stanley Kubrick.. Spartacus, The Shining, what a dude
-
Also acted along with
#JackNicholson a few years earlier for at least a second time in their careers on "One Flew Over The Cuckoo"s Nest"...#MilosForman -
Also - Slim Gaillard became much more associated a little later on with bassist SLAM STEWART. SLIM & SLAM burned it up! One of my favorites:
#Potato#Chips "Crunch - Crunch - I don't want no lunch - All I want is potato chips!"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFpztcGHAog …

Slim was rediscovered in the 80s when there was a revival of interest in jazz of that era. Meant I got to see him play in clubs in London, which was nice for me and no doubt for him getting paid some belated dues.
-
Me too. Saw him in Soho, maybe late 80s/ early 90s? Fab a rooni.

It’s this kind of stuff that makes me LOVE technology! I watched this on my friggin’ phone smiling ear-to-ear! I could watch this stuff for hours. This is where rock & roll bloomed from. Amazing stuff.

Barry Manilow also made a very good living off writing
#advertising jingles, including one of the most famous ones for Maxwell House#Coffee....#SlimGaillard should have made even MORE "bread" with his food-song writing skills!!

I met Slim in the early 80s, at a Pizza Express All Stars gig. I nervously sang These Foolish Things with the band & he was complimentary to me, tho he advised me to tell the musicians which version of the middle 8 I planned to sing. Thanks for that early encouragement Slim!

I had the pleasure of meeting him in the late '80's in London. A professional encounter that lead to an invite to see him play...and a drink or two. Very funny chap.
