About 40 years ago I read an article saying we should all own Louis Prima’s greatest hits. Bought it, no regrets, ever.
I discovered this CD in the mid-90s and wore it out, I loved it so much that I ended up buying the Louis Prima Capitol Collection box set. It was amazing the amount of great songs in this collection.
So much FUN!
My son borrowed my copy... Needless to say I haven't seen it since😂
You have to do a live video version. His showmanship is next level, especially with Keeley Smith.
I couldn't agree more with this. They are so fun to watch together. Great performers.
Indeed... DO THIS!
Definitely watch the live version
Just what I came here to say. He looks like he’s having a blast along with all the people performing with him.
absolutely
the woman's vocal is Keely Smith, her voice and style made her an icon of Las Vegas, you've got to see a video with her in it...amazing! Her performance of "Bill" with the Count Basie Orchestra would be a major Female Fridays hit. There's a video of that performance.
Absolutely- please check out to Keely Smith- her recording of "I Wish You Love" is magical. For that matter the whole album is worth a listen. Female Crooner for Female Friday!
Keely is an amazing singer. She would be a great one to react to. She’s on a lot of Louis’s songs. They were married for awhile.
Definitely - even check out the live version of this song, where she has a more prominent role!
Keely (Louis’ wife) is fantastic. You might call her a female crooner. Check out “It’s Magic” “On the Sunny Side of the Street” “When Your Lover Has Gone”
Thank you. You missed a trick not seeing the live performance, Keely Smith absolutely makes it special.
Shes so foxy
Louis Prima is one of the originators, a huge influence on 1950’s popular music, his jump swing dance beats were some of the best ever. ✌️
Influenced Rockabilly.
Louis prima was actually part of Frank Sinatra's rat pack. And Louis prima's wife, Keely Smith, was also a member of the rat pack. She was the only woman that could keep up with them when it came to their on stage banter and insults.
IMO Louis was better than any of the rest of tje rat pack. Also apparently Sinatra had a huge crush on Keely
They were members of the breakfast club, along with Ertha Kitt and Shirley McClain. Not really considered rat pack.
Keely and Frank are responsible for my wife's and my wedding dance song. Keely was stunning, hilarious, and had a PHENOMENAL voice.
@@swingsloth I saw her at Birdland in NYC about 15 years ago. She was around 80 and still could belt out a tune.
@@georgepassabet4460 if you say so.???
So glad y'all revisited Louis Prima! What you are hearing is pure New Orleans scat! Some more of his songs I'd recommend include "Che La Luna" (one of my personal favorites), "Buona Sera", "Sing Sing Sing", "When You're Smiling", "The Sheik of Araby", "Oh Marie", "Yes! We Have No Bananas" & of course, I Wanna Be Like You" (from the Disney movie "Jungle Book").
And y'all can talk about Van Halen's cover - but Louis Prima is the OG in my book. Other versions have been done but none can compare to Mr. Prima.
Wow, you are a true fan, how did you get so involved?
@@joiedevivre2005You can't leave out his wife Keely Smith!
You've nailed it! Lots of Italian in laws in my family.
Both versions are great in there own way , David Lee Roth was nasty, this one is just pure joy🙋🏻♀️
Great song choice! I absolutely love Louis Prima and this song! David Lee Roth did a cover of this song as well. Louis Prima also voiced the Orangutan "King Louie" in the Disney classic cartoon, "The Jungle Book." Love the sax on this song too! Thanks Jay and Amber for sharing this classic! 👋😎♥️
I had only heard the David Lee Roth cover; loved the original!
Yeah, didn't know David's was a cover, but then I was just a kid when it came out, so I didn't know older music very well.
I loved the original before Roth did his cover but I thought the cover was awesome too. Of course the video is a requirement when listening to the DLR version.
You really need to see the live version. His beautiful wife, Keely Smith, his backup singers/horn players, and of course, Louis himself are so fun to watch!
My mom would put this song on in the car when my sister and we’re babies but we sang this song at top of our lungs..good times…RIP MOM
Our song was American Pie… great memories ❤
Louis prima aka the king of swing ❤ 🎺🎷🎶🎙🎹 🇮🇹
Ah yes, definitely check out his duets with Keely Smith, "That Old Black Magic" and you've got to play "Jump, Jive an' Wail" and you have to play live clips of them.
David Lee Roth helped me appreciate and know this song.Louis Prima and Keely Smith were great singers
You have to see Louis Prima and his wife Keely Smith in a live video. Their banter and dialougue are priceless. Also she has a beautiful singing voice. One of their best is their rendition of 'That Old Black Magic'. Definitely check it out.
.
Sonny & Cher tried to immitate them.
Hey, kids! Sending this reaction to Louis and Keely's daughter, Toni Elizabeth Prima (my Sister-In-Law). 😃😃😃
Please pass on that my wife and I while going through IVF had the name Keely picked out for a little girl if we'd been successful.
Louis was my grandma’s 1st cousin. His mom was the sister of my great grandfather Joseph Caravella (aka “Big Daddy”)
Louis Prima is from New Orleans where I was born and still live. My Dad when he was very young was a trumpet player as was Louis Prima. My dad took me to see Louis Prima in a club in New Orleans when I was old enough to get in. Loved him.
Wow. You are lucky, I would have loved to seen Louis live
@@akadros310 I forgot to mention it was Louis and his band including his wife. I will never forget it.
And his daughter Lena is very talented!
Need to listen to the David Lee Roth cover
Louis Prima. One of my all time favorites. You can hear the fun they're having recording their songs. Glad you reacted to this!
David Lee Roth did a great cover of this!! You guys should REALLY check it out!!
Great? Well............
Just saw that uh😒😒 I wouldn't say great. Maybe I'm just use to van Halen's normal sound.
The Village People also did a version of this song before David Lee Roth.
DLR looks like he is having tons of fun in the video though
He just tried to copy this song exactly. There is only ONE Louis Prima!
You'll love this fun fact! Disney sent the animators for Jungle Book to watch Louis Prima singing live, so King Louie's movements were exactly what they saw Louis Prima doing in his act.
😮 Your kidding!!!
@@valerievelarde62 th-cam.com/video/rV8HrpOu1FA/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=bwatson65
Actually, Disney filmed all actors singing songs for his films to give his animators inspiration. In Louie Prima's case, when Walt saw the footage of Prima and his band members, he said he couldn't use it. Their dancing was too risqué and erotic.
Louis Prima was a great musician, songwriter, and entertainer. When the big bands went away in the late 40's, he reinvented himself with first a lounge and then a stage show in Vegas. He was the loudmouth outgoing guy and his tall, sultry, beautiful wife, Keely Smith, was the perfect opposite. She would usually stand on stage with a gorgeous gown, a blank expression with eyes of total disgust and have with Louis one of the most entertaining acts in American history.
David Lee Roth did a version of this too.
Love that video with all the "cameos".
He did some amazing covers, didnt he?
This is a great cover!!!
Dave’s version was a note-for-note copy of Prima and was a big hit.
Louis Prima and his excellent singer wife KeelySmith. They were a dynamic duo back in the day I was young but I remember them on all the shows on TV
I haven't heard Louis Prima since my trumpet playing years when I was a kid 🎺
Have loved this song my whole life. I even like David Lee Roth's cover of it.
He would walk through the crowd with his whole band following behind him
You should definitely do David Lee Roth's cover of this song. Great cover.
I left a CD of Louis Primas greatest hits in a car I traded in about 10yrs ago. I sure hope whoever bought the car liked Louis Prima as much as I did.
Hearing this, I just kept visualizing David Lee Roth dancing in the video he did for this song.
Love Louie Prima's style. Love this song. He was the voice of the king of the apes in Jungle Book.
I'd always understood that the voice of King Louie was based on Louis Armstrong. But I can definitely hear a resemblance in this song.
@@michaelrue1400 Not only did Louis Prima provide the voice of King Louie, but the mannerisms of King Louis and the rest of the monkeys were based on Prima's band. There are videos on You Tube interviewing the animators who studied Prima's very animated, humorous band and replicated their on-stage dancing and antics for Jungle Book.
Can't help but smile through this!
You should really watch a live Louis Prima performance. You won't be disappointed.
You have to check out David Lee Roth's, (Van Halen), version of this song. It's just awesome. The video is funny too.
"Banana Split For My Baby" is a great one by Louis Prima
Beyond embarrassed that I didn’t know David Lee Roth’s version was a cover! Love this version so much!
Don't feel too bad, that's the only version I've ever heard.
This is a cover too!
Uneducated heathens. 🤣
The lyrics to Just a Gigolo were written in German in 1924 by Julius Brammer and adapted into English in 1929 by Irving Caesar, so you might say it was written by Julius Caesar lol. The melody was written by an Austrian composer named Leonello Casucci in 1928.
I Ain't Got Nobody was written in 1915 by lyricist Roger A Graham and composer Spencer Williams. Louis Prima combined the two songs into a medley in 1956.
Buona Sera is my absolute favorite from Louis Prima!
I don't have a fav song because I love so many, And this is one of them for sure ..From the first time I heard it as a 17yr old in the 80's.I still listen to this song it's fing fantastic his sing is amazing as too the back ups the whole production is banging!
Good 'ole Louis Prima...great during his time 🎤🎶🎷
Great song. I love the energy of it. There is a David Lee Roth cover that is pretty awesome too.
In the 1930's my grandfather, Al Bartlett, was a musician in Atlanta GA and worked with big band and early jazz performers. He played strings (guitar, ukulele, banjo, etc.) and as such was almost always a rhythm player. He thoroughly enjoyed that time in his life that ended when he enlisted in the Army at 28. After the war he went into graphic art and design, but always retained a love of music. I only knew him as an older man, and I wish I could have known him when he was young. I miss you Al, you and your pencil thin mustache. You were awesome!
Diamond Dave does an awesome cover of this!
My parents LOVED Louis Prima, Keely Smith and the band who played with them, Sam Butera and the Witnesses. They went to their shows every year when they went to Las Vegas for their wedding anniversary. My Dad said that they'd also catch Sam and the Witnesses when they'd play separately later in the night. Hearing this brings my parents very close to me. I totally agree with others when they say that watching live performances of Louis, Keely and the band are a must!
Mine too! The album cover with her huge eyes and his huge mouth the album was amazing and played often!!❤
@@jodyjackson5475 Those were the days when you saw world class performers like Ella Fitzgerald, Frank and the Rat Pack, Louis and Keely every night and then like my Dad said, catch the band doing another set later. What a magical time it must have been in that respect.
You guys! Always a surprise. I am impressed. He played King Louie in the original Jungle Book
Ohhhhhhhhh!
Louis was amazing. Just watch any video of him and you'll see he was ALWAYS having a LOT of fun.
Louis Prima, Kelley, and Sam. Can you imagine seeming them live back in the day. What I wouldn’t give for a Time Machine to go back to Vegas to see them. And Frank and Dean and Sammy and Rickles….
Keely (not Kelley)
Sing Sing Sing. Louis Prima..THE BEST CLEAN HOUSE SONG EVER
You have to put yourself in a time machine, back to Las Vegas in the 50's to really feel Louie Prima. A late night show, everyone dressed to the t's. No shorts. Suits, tees, evening gowns required. Everyone drinking martinis, old fashioned, Manhattans. No margaritas, no flavored daiquiri, no blenders. 90% of the crowd smoking cigarettes. And Louie Prima live with the real Rat Pack in the crowd with you.
Another New Orleans great, and a true character for sure!
There's a great live version on Ed Sullivan with talented wife Keeley and saxophone player. Lot of humor, good times ❤
Brilliant artist/performer. Enjoyed this. , Cheers 🇨🇦
The video of this being performed on the Ed Sullivan Show is funny. Keely Smith, his wife and the female singer you can hear in this recording, spends much of the time just standing there like she is bored out of her mind by his antics. The looks she gives him when he starts singing I Ain't Got Nobody and his reactions to her are very amusing.
Sounds like they may have inspired Kid Creole And The Coconuts (one of which is Kid's wife).
One of my favorite Louis Prima songs is " Jump, Jive, An' Wail "
Please react to that one if you have not already.
I am down here in New Orleans. Louie Prima is at rest here. The entire front of his tomb has the lyrics to Just A Gigolo on it !!! I am a Waiter/ italian singer . His kids eat in this restaurant . His daughter is sooo sweet !!! She sings here and in Vegas. Leena Prima.
I rediscovered Louis Prima about 3 years ago, during quarantine and I'm so glad I did. My parents played old jazz and swing standards when I was a kid and while I kept up with a lot of it as I've grown, some artist slipped through the cracks. But I went into a deep dive on Louis, Keely Smith, and Sam Butera during lockdown and it just reminded me my childhood.
Gonna need y'all do look into Che La Luna, Angelina, Jump Jive An' Wail, That Old Black Magic, The Bigger The Figure, When You're Smiling, I've Got The World on a Stringer, Yes We Have No Bananas, Luigi, Shadrack, etc
Anytime, and I mean anytime you need a pick me up, Louis Prima will always bring a smile to your face
My favorite song of him.
Louis Prima, Sam Butera & The Witnesses & Keely Smith!! Love it! ~ T H E C O R R S ~
Louie Prima is best appreciated when you watch a live performance.
Prima's sax player is the legendary Sam Butera. Louis Prima & The Witnesses was a "show band", they were entertainers individually as well as a band. Very funny and entertaining live.
My husband played trumpet in his son Louis Jr.'s band for years, they covered all Sr.'s many hits. There's so many other huge one hits, Prima wrote the big band standard popularized by Benny Goodman, "Sing Sing Sing" which is worth checking out.
Phil Harris was the voice of Baloo in "The Jungle Book". He did a song called "The Thing".
Awesome that you did a reaction on the great Louis Prima! Can you imagine being in Vegas, paying a small cover charge and hear these folks play all night?
Love, love, love. This was so much fun. We remember him from our younger years. It was fantastic hearing it again. Thank you so much. ❤❤❤
Louie Prima was an Italian powerhouse that did not get the recognition he deserved (that’s my opinion). Let’s give him some now! Play much more of his musical antics. “C’ė La Luna” is one of his great hits, I know it’s an Italian standard, played in many gangster movies (and others as well).
I never felt he got the attention he deserved. I would take him over Sinatra and the rest of the rat pack anyday
Listen to the David Lee Roth version
Favorite Louis Prima songs, Che La Luna, and Angelina
Brian Setzer Orchestra (Brian Setzer of Stray Cats) did a fun version of Louis Prima's 1950s song Jump, Jive an' Wail. (BrianSetzerOrchVEVO video). Talk about a horn section...I think you'd enjoy it.
He and his band were probably the greatest Las Vegas show for well over a decade. His wife at the time, Keely Smith, was a fabulous singer and their gimmick was that he would try to impress her and she would completely ignore him on stage.
The band behind him, Sam Butera and the Witnesses... high energy unbelievable.
You need to react to one of to a video of their performance sometime. You'll be out of breath! And I don't know how many shows a night those guys did. Many.
David Lee Roth did a cover of this song joined by Steve Vai, Billy Sheehan and Greg Bissonette. There’s a video of it..
What a great reaction. Fantastic to see you enjoying yourselves with the old music.:)
My grandad had a very old recording of this song on a 16 speed record for his old hand cranked Victrola record player.
Your Right Jay! Mr. Louis Prima was the voice for King Louie in the the original 1967's Disney's The Jungle Book...
I believe that was his wife Keely Smith providing background vocals
Listened to my first Louis Prima album today, The Wildest, and was absolutely delighted by it. Will definitely listen to it again
Louis Prima was great! Please cover more of his music, please. The video is a must watch! Blessings.
Absolute banger. THAT voice, and when the drums really kick in...magic
Love Louis often known as king of the swingers he did the song king of the swingers in Disneys Jungle Book. Louis is not just a crooner he leads a band and plays a super hot trumpet. With his band he often had Keely Smith singing. Oh Marie one my favorite is a great bandstand with a lot of hot trumpet and sax. With Italian American slant and Latin influences but jazzy with it.
David Lee Roth did a version of this.
You need to watch the actual video. He inserted comedy into his performances, and his wife Keely Smith singing in the background, was also funny. Even his band got laughs.
When I was a teen I knew this song from David Lee Roth, I thought it was the song. And likes both now.
You guys need to see him performing LIVE in some of the videos on TH-cam. This song "Gigolo" was done with his wife Keely Smith on Ed Sullivan Show. There's a couple of others, but it shows all the guys in the band and how he performed. Louis was also a great Trumpet player too.
Married to singer and partner Keely Smith a wonderful voice as well she passed in 2017
Excellent - wish we could have seen them perform this. Sounded like the whole band was having such a good time.
After listening to this I am immediately going to listen to my big band playlist on Spotify 👊🏻👏🏻👍🏻
when i first met the accountant for my business, i was just getting into Louis Prima, and when i mentioned it to him (knowing he was a big jazz and swing fan) he yelled, in alarm, "LOUIS PRIMA??? THAT CLOWN??" -- guess he wasn't a fan, haha. i still love me some Prima.
Thisun is a catchy lil ditty...it works for me...gratitude for the sharing of this classic guys....
❤ Gotta see David Lee Roth version of this song. The video is great❤
Fantastic choice! Deeply sad lyrics disguised by a joyous performance. Masterpiece.
There is a video of Louis Prima doing Night Train in 1957 that is ON FIRE. I'd argue it is Sam Butera's best sax performance on video.
As stated earlier, David Lee Roth recorded a cover of this, introducing a younger crowd to this classic. Louis was from New Orleans, with his mother and paternal grandparents from Sicily.
If you have seen "Young Frankenstein," you might recall a scene where Frederich & Inga follow a sound down to the cellar and see Igor, who suddenly sings out a few lyrics to this song.
BTW, you mentioned "The Jungle Book" (which was in fact Disney). Baloo the bear was voiced by Phil Harris, who also was a big band leader and voiced characters in many animated films and also appeared in some live action movies. Along with "The Bear Necessities" from "The Jungle Book," his biggest was probably the novelty record "The Thing."
Yes....Louis prima one of my favorite artists of all times and Young Frankenstien is one of my favorite movies of all times
I love that, He ain't got nobody ~ and it's such an upbeat, happy sound!!!! I also Love the two of you ~ your appreciation for ALL music makes me want to cry tears of joy! Your kids are lucky to have you as parents! 🥰🥰🥰
Takes me back to my early 20's. There was a lake pub that had a jukebox with all the crooners and Bob Seger. Would always put a 20 in it and listen all night.
KING LOUIE ... Wrote Sing Sing Sing, Benny Goodmans Hit Wonder❤ An Italian from, New Orleans, All genre's of Music.😊 Thanks guys xx
Louis Prima had the hottest act in his day. SRO. It was at Louis Prima's show that the Rat Pack met up after they performed their shows.
Louis Prima and Keely Smith "That Old Black Magic,"
You ought to listen to Louis sing "That OldBlack magic" with Keely Smith
Louis was the man.
Welcome to Louis world featuring the great KEELY SMITH!!!! Hahaha ya went uostown to see Frank and downtown to see louis!!!
Love Loui
Judging by his live performances' moves, Louis Prima was a David Byrne forerunner.....very addictive !!!
