V-Disc 126:
Lena Horne, Fats Waller and the Cab Calloway orchestra appeared in the Twentieth Century-Fox film "Stomy Weather" (1943). The three V-Disc selections were from the soundtrack of this film; accompaniment was by the Twentieth Century-Fox studio orchestra, not the Calloway band. Arrangements probably were by Benny Carter, as he wrote the backgrounds for the ballads sung in the film.

Not Cab. No IJ.
