Louis Prima :::: Jump,Jive An' Wail.

Louis Prima (December 7, 1910 – August 24, 1978) was an American singer, actor, songwriter, and trumpeter. Prima rode the musical trends of his time, starting with his seven-piece New Orleans style jazz band in the late 1920s, then leading a swing combo in the 1930s, a big band in the 1940s, a Vegas lounge act in the 1950s, and a pop-rock band in the 1960s.

Never understood how Keely kept such a deadpan face with all of Louis' antics on stage. She was his perfect stooge as well as having a good voice herself.

Superb, never gets old, sad state of music these days, this is a treasure

Love this kind of music and dancing. 40s and 50s were the best. I don't know how Keely Smith could just stand there like that. She was the best. I'm sitting here groovin in my chair

When Sinatra saw Louie Prima perform in the 50s in Vegas, he told Dean this is the kind of show we have to do, then started the Rat Pack in the 60s.

Eternal music. Happy to have grown up through some decades that have music that measures up.

[wattahole]

The happiest song I’ve ever heard. Also the video.

Just FANTASTIC! THIS was SWING music at it's finest!

That's a party...wild, clean and fun music 🎶 jive, jazz and a bit of Italian mixed, wonderful. Keely voice complemented Louis antics and grave voice so well.
