Eddie Cantor (c. September 21, 1892 – October 10, 1964), born Edward Israel Iskowitz, was an American "illustrated song" performer, comedian, dancer, singer, actor and songwriter. Familiar to Broadway, radio, movie and early television audiences, this "Apostle of Pep" was regarded almost as a family member by millions because his top-rated radio shows revealed intimate stories and amusing anecdotes about his wife Ida and five daughters. Some of his hits include "Makin' Whoopee", "Ida", "Yes! We Have No Bananas", "If You Knew Susie", "Ma! He's Makin' Eyes at Me", "Baby", "Margie", and "How Ya Gonna Keep 'em Down on the Farm (After They've Seen Paree)?" He also wrote a few songs, including "Merrily We Roll Along", the Merrie MelodiesWarner Bros. cartoon theme.
His eye-rolling song-and-dance routines eventually led to his nickname, "Banjo Eyes". In 1933, the artist Frederick J. Garner caricatured Cantor with large round eyes resembling the drum-like pot of a banjo. Cantor's eyes became his trademark, often exaggerated in illustrations, and leading to his appearance on Broadway in the musical Banjo Eyes (1941).
"My Baby Just Cares For Me"
I'm so happy since the day
That I fell in love in a great big way,
And the big surprise is someone loves me too.
Guess it's hard for you to see
Just what anyone could see in me,
But it only goes to prove what love can do.
My baby don't care for shows,
My baby don't care for clothes,
My baby just cares for me,
My baby don't care for furs and laces,
My baby don't care for high-toned places,
My baby don't care for rings
Or other expensive things,
She's sensible as can be,
My baby don't care who knows it,
My baby just cares for me.
My baby's no Gilbert fan,
Ronald Colman is not her man,
My baby just cares for me,
My baby don't care for Lawrence Tibbett's
She'd rather have me around to kibitz,
Bud Rogers is not her style,
And even Chevalier's smile
Is something th...

Eddie Cantor 1929 "A Ziegfeld Midnight Frolic"
Eddie does the entire 13 minutes in blackface, in this VERY rare film..it provides a good feel of how a Ziegfeld small stage show would appear, something not otherwise documented in sound film.
As far as I can ascertain, this was mastered as NTSC 24fps, then sped up to 25FPS PAL, then converted back to NTSC 29.97 via standard video conversion rather than slowing down. That's why there's jerkiness when I tried to IVTC for YouTube's 24fps standard. I did the best I could.

My baby just cares for me, me, only me.
My baby don't care for shows,
My baby don't care for clothes,
My baby just cares for me,
My baby just loves those consultations
And how she enjoys my operations.
After our honeymoon
In April, May, or June
I'll get my nursing free,
Then I can feel good for nothing,
My baby just cares for me.
