Sheet music for the song "Stormy Weather" from the production of the 22nd Edition of the Cotton Club Parade. The cover is red and features silhouettes of performers on the right side. The silhouettes are in profile, with two men and one woman. The men wear top hats and the woman, seen in white, smokes a cigarette. Below the faces, in pink letters against a black background is the illustrator's signature "Leff." Along the top, in a white band across the cover, is the title in black text "STORMY WEATHER."
