    Louis wrote and recorded “Jump, Jive, and Wail” in the 1950’s, later covered by the Brian Setzer Orchestra. Keely is one of my favorite female vocalists. On their TV show Sonny and Cher modeled their banter after the Vegas act of Louis and Keely.

    Louis was an energetic performer and just a wonderful person. His humor was in your face. Keely was also a humorist performer, but her act was more deadpan and they played beautifully off one another.

    Finally someone reacted to them !! They were the biggest act in Vegas for a long time, bigger than Sinatra. Other Vegas stars used to go to their shows. He sings I Wanna Be Like You from the movie Jungle Book.

    Shout out to Sam Butera on tenor sax, the man who gave the band funk before its time. Louis was a trumpet player from New Orleans who modeled himself after Satchmo. Prima wrote the song that propelled Benny Goodman to superstardom, “Sing Sing Sing,” sometimes considered an early precursor to rock and roll.

    These guys were friends with the rat pack and as I said he played a mean trumpet in some of the songs. They were married for a quite a few years He was a comic and she was the straight “guy”. I agree he does sound like Tony Bennett. Love the photo of Tony he was so young there., Also I don’t know if you noticed when he said you are the lover I’ve been waiting for he said You’re the blubber I’ve been waiting for. Early on in the song.

    There is a 1996 movie titled "Big Night' in which Stanley Tucci and Tony Shalhoub play brothers who run a restaurant, and they prepare a very special meal in the belief that Louie Prima will visit their restaurant that evening.

    Louis Prima is great. My favorite of his is Just a Gigilo/I Ain't Got Nobody that David Lee Roth did a great job covering. It is a great song that shows off Louis Prima's singing abilities. Another video you need to check out is Trombone Shorty doing his Hurricane Season live. His performance is totally amazing showing off what he can to with a trumpet. He is one of the best musicians in New Orleans today.

    So glad to see Prima and Smith here! Prima emerged from the Big Band era to establish the Vegas "Lounge Act."
    In fact Prima wrote the music and lyrics for "Sing Sing Sing" for Benny Goodman, perhaps the most famous Big Band song.

    You are a little confused. He...is Louis Prima. She...is Keely Smith. They were a married couple and, together with their backup band, Sam Butera and the Witnesses, were the best nightclub act...ever. Louis also wrote what would become the Swing Era's anthem, Sing Sing Sing.

    I miss the old vaudeville and variety show entertainers. I am glad I grew up in the fifties and sixties. I got to see and hear all the great entertainers of the forties. Everything is so specialized now. There are no more all around entertainers. What a loss to the younger generations who missed this.
