Editorial Reviews
During their time together as one of the most famous couples in jazz, jump blues and Las Vegas, Prima and Smith sure made some wonderfully boisterous music. Here are their late-'50s hits That Old Black Magic and I've Got You Under My Skin ; vivacious versions of Buona Sera; Oh Marie; I'm in the Mood for Love , and more!

It's 'da bomb.,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
Though I purchased the CD as a gift, I did take the time to listen to excerpts from the CD on another site, so I knew what I was getting before hand. I really enjoy this music. It's peppy, inspiring and camp. It also has a sort of tongue in cheek quality about it. Keely Smith is one of the best vocalists of not only hers; but all time.

Happy 100th Birthday, Mr. Prima,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
I ordered this and other Louis Prima albums to celebrate his centennial (he was born in December 1910). I played about an hour of his music on the air on his 100th birthday (I'm a jazz DJ). Prima is the "other Louis" from New Orleans -- like Satchmo, he is a trumpet player, singer and entertainer, but he is often lost in the shadow of the greater one, Mr. Armstrong. Still, Prima is a totally unique package as an entertainer who adapted seamlessly into the rock-and-roll era, with Sam Butera and the Witnesses, plus his perfect foil, wife and singer Keely Smith. I'd love to have seen there Sahara Club lounge act, but this is the next best thing. Giants walked the earth in those days, and Louie Prima was a giant talent.

Heard " Buona Sera " on a " TREME" DVD & it brought back pleasant memories of this "Dynamic Duo".
Not a long disc but well worth the LISTEN !
