Supposedly Prima was a real piece of work off stage. But his stage act is incredibly unique and you’re just naturally drawn to him, and he makes you smile.
@@jhwillis123 Prima was married 5 times and Keely Smith "divorced Louis Prima in the breakup of one of the best-known teams of nightclub and recording performers. Miss Smith filed suit in Las Vegas this morning, charging the bandleader and trumpet player with mental cruelty."
People where screaming where's Keely? But I think Gia was gorgeous and had a fantastic voice! She loves him still long after his passing. But hey how can you not? He was fabulous and charming.
I thought I read 63. Louis married Gia to conceal her unplanned pregnancy. She gave birth to fraternal twins in August, but used a November birthdate to cover what back then was an unspeakable sin. Now children are born out of wedlock more often than in marriage. Gia was carrying twins fathered by one of America’s wealthiest men. Sadly, she missatttribted paternity to Louis. They dodged a bullet, but Lena was owed a real medical history and the massive fortune her biological Father left her in 1982. Gia and Her son used the inheritance as their own.
*I get the feeling that in the beginning of the song the crowd wasn’t so enthusiastic. And it reflected on Louis’s face & even his vocals.* 😴🎼🎭🎷🎺😃 Then it looked like Sam & the other horn player the crowd going That’s when the crowd came alive - Cuz that’s when Louis came back alive.
Wow. And on Monday, October 15, the day after this very performance, President Kennedy was notified by CIA that their U2 aerial reconnaissance photos established there was Soviet Ballistic missiles in Cuba.
The story was that when they ( Prima, Keely and Butera) were hired as a lounge act in Las Vegas. The hotel had to buy him a new wardrobe, because he was so poor.
Real showmen and women..Excellence to the moon and the stars..Brilliant..
Ed Sullivan always had the best of the best.
Louis Prima sure knew how to have a good time.

Your mother said you were a real piece of work.
Care to elaborate?
@@pennyprincefrom what I’ve read about him he was very quiet off stage and a good father

Gia was such a doll :-)
King of the Strip! More Prima...
Correct and the Rat Pack would go to Prima's show at the Sahara after their gig at the Sands.
A talented showman.
Wow, so much fun!
not known for my positive comments on here, but this is pretty cool...
They are fabulous! Very expressive... just like a little mini play. 😄 Thank you for sharing ! 💖
Adorable
Nice change, hearing "Bill Bailey."
What a genious!!! "The other Louis" was a truly showman...
Italian soul.
Very original, ingenious and Show type arrangement…Love It!!
What a stunner! And the song's not too bad either.
Oh I wish I could have seen this man live!
Sweet
If you listen carefully, you can hear this song on the wind crying to you!

Gia Malone was said to be interested in a biopic on Louis Prima, and wanted John Travolta to play Prima.
Prima was 53 years old and his wife Gia Maione was 22 both married a year later in 1963
His 5th and last wife which also lasted the longest

@@whitneyailenroc7206 DNA.
Wasn’t she born in 1944? I believe that she was still a teen when he hired her.
@@whitneyailenroc7206 what???? I'm confused, I got to look this up
I would love to see how him and Keely Smith would of done this song together.
There is a point when one becomes a self parody.
200% Italian.

L’italia incontra New Orleans! But keely is irreplaceable
Gia Maione est excellente et trés féminine
May I post this on my Facebook?

He married 5 times, divorced 4 times. I wonder how much he had to pay in alimony?

First h
Gia is amazing - I can't believe she's practically unknown. I'd take her over Keely Smith anyday. Her breath control is equal to Sinatra's.
Me too!
Gia wasn't as good as the wonderful Keely Smith, but still a decent replacement.
She's not even close.
Agreed. She couldn't carry Keely's slippers...
Gia was Louis Prima's 5th wife!
I like Gia better than Keely.
Why compare.... each girl is good on her own. She is fabulous on this song.
Gia was so much better and more likable than Keeley
Keely smith. Much better
gia seemed out of it
Like Keeley better!
The chemistry was amazing with Keely, you could see it in the performance.
