Louis Prima is also known for "Just A Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody", which you might recognize from The Suicide Squad (2021), and "I Wan'na Be like You (The Monkey Song)" from Walt Disney's 1967 film The Jungle Book. David Lee Roth, original frontman for Van Halen, landed a top twenty hit in 1985 with his cover of "Just A Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody". Keely Smith divorced Louis Prima in 1961 and went on to make records with Nelson Riddle in the 1960's before she left the business. She returned to make four albums during the aughts. She passed away in 2017.
They were the most popular lounge act attraction in Vegas in the early 50's and won a grammy in 1958 for this song. They were married (briefly), and met each other when Keely was just 20 years old. There was such a pure quality to Keely's voice! They had such a relaxed and silly stage act: Keely as the "straight man" to Louis' goofy persona. Rumor has it that Louis was a known ladies man back in the day, leading to their divorce - tho they still performed together for a while afterwards.
