The Real Inspiration And Evolution Of The Betty Boop Cartoon

Many Musical Artists Were Showcased In The Cartoons

Perhaps one of the most underrated things about the iconic cartoon was the music that frequently accompanied the episodes. With Bett Boop being a caricature during the Jazz Age, it’s no surprise that numerous talented musical stars were showcased in Betty Boop cartoons. Just a few of these talented musicians include the likes of French actor and cabaret singer Maurice Chevalier, vocal powerhouse Ethel Merman, Louis Armstrong (known for iconic hits like “What a Wonderful World”), American jazz singer Cab Calloway, and Rudy Vallée, who was known for being one of the first pop stars of the teel idol type.
