  15. <p>     DIED. CABELL ("CAB") CALLOWAY, 86, Big Band leader; of complications
  16. from a stroke; in Delaware. The ultimate hep cat, Calloway lead
  17. an orchestra that succeeded Duke Ellington's band at Harlem's
  18. Cotton Club in the 1930s. Calloway's trademark song was "Minnie
  19. the Moocher," the story of a "low-down hoochy coocher." He later
  20. claimed that the chorus of "hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho" and other
  21. scat refrains were the product of a faulty memory.
