GUEST,Roderick A Warner	Lyr/Chords: Willie the Weeper (from Dave Van Ronk) (8)	RE: Lyr/Chords: Willie the Weeper (from Dave Van Ronk)	11 Feb 23
Thinking about this song and Cab Calloway popped into my mind. And ‘ Minnie the Moocher’ was ‘appropriated’ from ‘Willie The Weeper,’ apparently. You can hear the resemblances… Minnie the Moocher The mighty Calloway - the James Brown of 1931 if you catch his more energetic performances. A long way from Bleeker Street then and now.
