[EddieHaskelll]

@TexasMist WHAT?

[ewanag]

They really liked each other at that moment.

[BarbaraandHarold]

Keely is talented and very pretty. The idiot buffoon with her must be a reject from the gong show. The best I can say about him is that he makes me vomit.

[angrycheese1971]

how id have loved to see them. keely has seen my sister sing tho! x

[01773787797]

Sheer magic, that unfortunately we will never see the likes of again?

Pure happinness,

Pure enternainment,

Thank you Louis & Keeley & Sam & the boys,

John, Nottingham uk

[rockymodo1]

@01773787797 I agree... The best bar none..

[jazzynet1]

Great stuff from the past!

[swinginkatz]

And Sam Buttera on sax. Yea Baby they had it.

[michaeljayklein]

Boy, do we need entertainers like THAT today!

Applause!

[aquasat02]

@michaeljayklein yes we do!

[grampatil]

I watched an old movie, "Senior Prom"  They did the video and it was awesome. I wish I could find it on here.

[thekiktones]

what a performers!!!! they are great

[angelthman]

Her voice is so gorgeous that even her laugh is like music!

[yeahsee33]

I love this so much!

Thanx 4 the upload!

[yeahsee33]

They are so cute together.

[leega8010]

Perfect fun stuff- Louie was perfect with his stage persona and Keely was great as always - Sam was the man- wow!!

[panzerKO]

amazing!

cheers from Brazil!

[cujoluv]

See that video ..That is love. creativity flows between them with the greatest of ease while other human ordeals get lost in the beautiful song and art they are improvising and creating.

[cheyenne86]

They have a magic together that works. We do not see that very often anymore.

[oladeusa]

Thank YOU! Love L & K!

[amazmace]

Oh, I'm so glad I found this. Louis and Keely are the best together. We took a road trip over a thousand miles, and we kept putting on Louis Prima music and singing along. Made the trip spectacular.

[parisboogie]

the best .....say no more.

[Musicman510ee]

You don't see this at all today. They have class, style, and they know how to have fun and put on a good show. True improvisation. True entertainers.

[GMBogart]

Louis, Keeley, Sam and the boys -- entertainment doesn't get any better. And they came along at the perfect time in American nightclub history.

[JavBond]

Louis Prima´s music is played in martiniinthemorningdotcom...tr­y it

[recovering16]

Has anyone else noticed how much Sonny and Cher "copied" their act (very successfully too). But Louis and Keely were the best ever. And Sam Butera was the icing on the cake!!

[snivelinjack]

Man, you're right recovering. Talent like them is not around today. They sang a song I think was called "you are my love". Does anyone know where that can be found. It was beautifully romantic.  They could do it all.

[Robert4770]

They are having so much fun why dosen't anyone have fun like this on stage anymore? I can watch this over and over and can't help feeling HAPPY. They were the king & queen of Vegas a once in a lifetime combo that were pure magic.

[joeasmythe]

Keely and Louie were fantastic, and having Sam Butera with them sure did help. We saw them in Vegas later on in their careers and they were better than ever. Nobody today even comes close.

[hartley252]

Lucky to have had some time with Keeley Smith recently and she is as vivacious, funny, entertaining as ever and her voice has not changed in 50 years. She's a doll and one of the all-time greats.

[SHOELESSJOE60]

What a performer, one of the best.

[LaurierReglisse]

Good God, they were CUTE together!

JM

[STELOVIOS]

wow wow wow the king of swing just amazing! so freakin funny ..

RESPECT!

[virginiaorganbuilder]

Listen to Prima's voice- it's King Louie from Disney's Jungle Book.

[fodimi]

just awesome! I bet this guy had all the girls he wanted!

[slimnick53]

brilliant

[goodmusicday]

What a nut, lol!! I bet they had lots of fun, anyone around him. Love his music, just love it. Thanks.

[Marlimoo14]

I have a buch of performances like this on DVD! THis one too. thanx for posting!

[ronski52]

Saw Louie live at Cherry's in Warren, Ohio around 1974...

You walked outta ther with a good feelin!

They usually sold out there lounge act in Vegas at the Sahara in the early sixties..

Hot baby!

Just some trivia.

[IGORROPINSKI]

So freakin' funny!!!!

I don't see this happen today.

Even the guys in the background are crackin' up!

[musichead1969]

Who is the guy who introduces them? I saw this on TV in 1989 - it was what introduced me to Prima & Smith, actually - & I know he's a New York area concert promoter, but i can't remember his name.

[musichead1969]

Ron Delsener, i think.

[theGrape]

delsener is older and skinnier and wouldn't be doing this sort of thing.

[BCraingirl]

what's with their hand movements/signals? was there any significance in them?

[bergduck]

well, I think it was just a way of improv movement to contrast their voices and yes a few of the hand signs probably mean something ...

[CIAdude]

You're an idiot! You know that you are just slamming Italians for their hand gestures. Who do you think you are kidding? Why don't you just stick with Pat Boone!

[foglioks]

@BCraingirl

Yeah, its how Italians speak... 

[fusahey22]

theres nothing like this today, thanks for the share. love 'em both

[54spiritedwill54]

i wish i was near them

[LES321975]

I love them. I saw Keely smith on the Grammy awards and she can still sing. Iam now a fan.

[bigsky1926]

They act like a couple of crazy kids just having fun. Did you dig the 'from the chin' Keely gave him and then matched his every move. bigsky

[mapetite46]

They are totally fabulous! Did Louis Prima do his version of 'How High the Moon'? Can anyone find a video of it for youtube? I have only ever heard it on the radio, years ago; it would be so wonderful to see them.

[keelyspell]

I can not get enough of these two. I want more than what is available on youtube. They are intoxicating!! Keely is just so alluring! My name is also Keely, but even if it was Beth, I would be coveting, needing, loving, wanting, gotta have more of these two. I am 37 and these two make me wish I lived in the 50's. Very classy!!!!

[1unitedworld]

¡¡¡Gracias!!!

[ashbuild2]

I've watched this clip about 10 times and it makes me smile every time....Life enhancing stuff! Thank you

[Lisab7119]

You can't fake this kind of chemistry and love of entertaining...thanks a million for the post!!!!

[Hirnhinweg]

Biddldibub!!

[cortanahasley]

Wow, they were so good! I'm glad I clicked here, now I'm a fan.

[duvaalp]

Fantastic - what great fun! The whole world should watch this. Couldn't help smiling. Thanks so much for the post.

[samsalaam]

I couldn't help but smile the whole time while watching this...I love these 2! Good job posting this.

[da1prophet]

Great clip....basically, this is as good as it gets. Louis and Keely were the real deal...

[jaybo1208]

She was the perfect "Straight Man" for Louis. If you follow her eyes while he is singing, she was hysterical! They really had a great time on stage together because no one ever knew what was going to come out of his mouth next. Great clip -- thanks for posting it.

[saskabush2006]

What a charming clip - they really did work well together, and this is a good one to show people who think all Keely did on stage was look grumpy!

[Marlimoo14]

classic. Good chemestry. Too bad it didn't last

[bergduck]

nothing lasts forever

[lotusmark]

Even just goofing around... he is 100 times more talented than anyone on the radio today. That voice mixed with the jazz runs...

it makes me want to throw tomatoes at today's singers.

[varu76]

i wish i was near them !!!!!

[fredlloyf]

Knock-out!!!

[bwatson65]

5 stars! They were great!

[tedescu]

Great!!!
