More Song Titles with Women's Names.

My favorite song title and song containing a female character's name is

"Minnie The Moocher", performed by Cab Calloway.

Not all Minnie's need to be moochers, of course - take famous singer Minnie Riperton with the 6-octave range, for instance. She also recorded a song titled "Minnie's Lament."

I have a copy of the original black-and-white film of the same name and starring Cab Calloway. It is interesting to watch that film and compare it to today's movies. The Calloway orchestra and the zoot suited orchestra leader are fun to watch and hear. Mr. Calloway also performed the song "Minnie the Moocher" with his orchestra on TV variety shows and in the movie The Blues Brothers.

Others song titles I have found among my records and tapes and those of friends include the following list. Some of these titles are pretty old songs, dating back to 1948, and less well-known today. Others are traditional songs from the 19th century, even further back in time. The following list contains additional songs than those posted so far (I apologize for any duplicates I missed). Enjoy!
