@soapbxprod Ok but what was Louis Prima other than a loudmouth? He certainly wasn't much of a singer and he looks like the lovechild of Kim Jong-il and Teresa Giudice.
@tallulah2 Her voice hasn't changed! My absolute favorite singer of all time- even above Ella and Doris and Jo Stafford and Helen Forrest and.... ! There's just something about her that I can't ever get enough of... We met and interviewed her for our 1999 A&E Biography of the Rat Pack- the entire 3 hour program is here on our channel page. Just search under:
Biography of the Rat Pack Part 1
The other three parts will show up on the right hand side of the page.
@ashleyg325 I know, right? She's up there with Ella, Dinah (Shore and Washington), Doris, Jo Stafford... my favorite of all time. Met her and shot her interview for our 1999 Biography of the Rat Pack- here on our channel in 4 parts! Louis Prima and Keely Smith with Sam Butera and the Witnesses might be the best band that ever was!
What a lovely person Keely Smith was and still is... I can't imagine what she ever saw in Louis Prima.

@ryan33bttm Well- he was Louis Prima, after all! And Keely would be the first to defend him, even though he really did her wrong a lot...

@soapbxprod You don't think he's repulsive?

@ryan33bttm Actually no. Compared to Buddy Rich?

Love Keely! Saw her live a few years ago, and she sounded exactly like this, but slightly jazzier.
