 SCATMAN CROTHERS (2)
Scatman was born as Benjamin Sherman Crothers on 23rd May 1910 in Terre Haute, Vigo, Indiana.
The Crothers were not a poor family, mainly because of their cumulative efforts in earning a living and as a result they had a little house complete with a garden, chickens and pigs on 922 Gilbert Avenue in a part of Terre Haute known locally as 'Baghdad'.
Scatman died on 22nd November 1986 and he was buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Hollywood Hills with approximately 300 friends, fans and family attending the ceremony.

 SCATMAN CROTHERS (1)
By the early 1940s, Crothers was a regular at the popular jazz clubs in Chicago, both in the Loop and on the South Side.
Crothers recorded two more hits later that year: "On the Sunny Side of the Street" and "Dead Man's Blues." He became a regular guest on Harris's show, and the pair continued to collaborate on records and in films for years to come.
Discographies agree that Crothers was indeed working at Modern at the time, so a good guess is that Crothers may have been singing in front of Moore's band for this session, although his name does not appear on the record.

Scatman decided that the whole plane needed entertainment so he broke out his banjo and walked up and down the isles singing Niger Man. Needless to say - there were only about 20 of us from the shoot and about 100 others from I don't know where.
The wonderful thing about Scatman was that he was best of the old school, understood the new school.
BTW Scatman Crothers is fl, as are most rappers that use the term "Nigga," so him saying "Nigger" wouldn't be offensive UNLESS it was derogatory..

When they put in on the turntable, Bihari said, "That's Scatman Crothers singing, but we never issued it." Bihari's memory was fuzzy, because the recording had indeed been issued, in 1949 as Modern 674, and issued as "Rock And Roll" by Wild Bill Moore.
Some discographies agree that Crothers was indeed the singer, and some say Wild Bill Moore sang it himself and make no mention of Crothers ever having recorded for Modern Records.

The Overlook Hotel in the Colorado Rockies is open all summer, but between the months of October and May it closes because it is unreachable due to the snow.
The Overlook is obviously a bad place, supposedly built over an ancient Indian burial ground as the manager says, but already Danny is having shocking visions of it, with gallons of blood pouring from the elevator doors, or creepy twin girls blankly staring at him.
When they arrive to stay at the building, they meet Dick Hallorann (a gently charming Scatman Crothers), the cook who gives Wendy the tour of the kitchens and storeroom, but also asks Danny if he would like some ice cream - without speaking.
