The Beautiful Lena Horne singing Stormy Weather. The movie Stormy Weather was sort of an unofficial bio pic of Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. Also notice that the band is directed by none other than Cab Calloway!!

Fats Waller: Ain't Misbehaving
This is a short clip from the movie Stormy Weather, which is a fantasy recreation of the life of the original Bo Jangles, Bill Robinson. In this scene we see Fats playing his great stride piano style on Ain't Misbehaving, also in the clip is a young, and beautiful Lena Horne, and Bill Robinson as the waiter. Nice clip, and some great piano playing by the master of Stride, Fats Waller.
