	Louis Prima
		Although Prima broke up the band in 1949, he stayed with Smith and worked the lounge circuit, marrying her in 1952 (she was his fourth wife).
		Prima and Smith sang and joked up a storm, Butera and his band, the Witnesses, played a smoking blend of jazz, pop, and New Orleans R&B, and the material was considered pretty risque for its time.
		Prima's act was becoming passe in Vegas in the early 1970s, so he moved with Butera back to New Orleans, getting steady if not spectacular work for the tourist crowd.

		Prima's band during this time was anchored by tenor saxophonist Sam Butera, whose grounding in jump blues and New Orleans R&B was a perfect match.
		Louis Prima was born December 7, 1911 in New Orleans, LA, to an Italian family who'd emigrated to the U.S. by way of Argentina.
		Prima and Smith's comic banter was riddled with sexual innuendo, and they sometimes rewrote the lyrics to popular standards in the same spirit; meanwhile, Butera's jump blues/R&B background kept the music equally lively.

		Louis Prima (December 7, 1910- August 24, 1978) was an American entertainer, singer, actor, and trumpeter born New Orleans.
		Prima was proud of his heritage, and made a point of letting the audience know at every performance that he was Italian-American and from New Orleans.
		The act, Louis Prima and Keely Smith, was very much the model for Sonny and Cher, the exuberant Italian musician and the serious, unsmiling exotic female singer.

	Solid! -- Louis Prima Biography
		Prima taught himself how to play and in the late 1920s began to perform professionally, influenced by Louis Armstrong and the rich jazz heritage of his hometown.
		In 1934 Prima moved to New York at the suggestion of bandleader Guy Lombardo.
		Despite this success, though, Prima remained relatively unknown to the general public, except as composer of the song ''Swing, Swing, Swing,'' which proved a big hit for Benny Goodman in the late 1930s.

	Bright Lights Film Journal \| Louis Prima: The Wildest!
		Prima was famous for his riotous stage presence, what Smith called "that charisma … that little boy thing" that had him mugging for the camera, mock-dueling with his band members, and generally bouncing off the walls.
		Prima’s life, engaging in itself, doesn’t reach the heights (or depths) of Mingus or Pepper, perhaps because it didn’t follow the cliché trajectory of the intransigent jazz musician done in by drugs, sex, artistic angst, or commercial failure.
		Prima’s style was formed in such intriguing events as a kind of progressive socializing his family engaged in, having a drink in one house, then moving to another, and so on.

	Louis Prima
		Louis Prima was a trumpeter, band leader, singer, composer, and sometime film star.
		In 1948, Prima began working with the poker-faced 16 year old singer Dorthy Keely Smith daughter of Fannie and Jesse Smith, she was born in Norfolk, VA. After having a hit in 1950 with their joint composition 'Oh, Babe!', they were married on July 13, 1953 and had two daughters,Toni Elizabeth and Luanne Frances.
		Prima's inspired clowning and zany vocals delivered in a fractured Italian dialect, coupled with Smith's cool image and classy singing, were augmented by tenor saxophonist Sam Butera and his group, the Witnesses.

		Prima rode the musical trends of his time, starting with his seven-piece New Orleans style jazz band in the 1920s, then successively leading a Swing combo in the 1930s, a Big Band in the 1940s, a Vegas lounge act in the 1950s, and a pop-rock go-go band in the 1960s.
		Prima's 1936 composition "Sing Sing Sing" became one of his biggest hits and one of the most covered standards of the swing era; Benny Goodman's performance of the song at Carnegie Hall with a featured performance by Gene Krupa on drums has become iconic.
		The act, Louis Prima and Keely Smith, was very much the model for Sonny and Cher: the exuberant Italian musician and the serious, exotic female singer, Smith and Cher both being of Cherokee descent.

	The Louis Prima Story
		Louis Prima is probably best known as the undisputed King of the Vegas lounges back in the 50s and 60s, when the gambling town was in it's infancy, and the only rule was that there were no rules.
		Quite the contrary: Louis Prima, along with singing partner Keely Smith, with backing by Sam Butera and the Witnesses, would wail wildly into the wee small hours of the morning, slicing through the noise and smoke of the gaming floor with half the effort that it took Chuck Heston to part the Cinemascopic Red Sea.
		Louis Prima was a gifted jazz vocalist and skillful trumpet player who surrounded himself with exceptional musicians.

	A Tribute To Louis Prima
		At the tender age of 17, Louis was inspired by such jazz greats as Louis Armstrong and King Oliver.
		By this stage, Prima was also composing songs, and one of them, 'Sing, Sing, Sing', when developed by Benny Goodman, became a smash hit for the 'King Of Swing', and remains a Swing Era classic.
		In 1941 Prima and his orchestra had an engagment at the Trianon Ballroom in Seattle Washington, one of the songs performed there was 'Sing Sing Sing' and featured a 16 year old drummer named Jimmy Vincent, who went on to perform with Prima right on through the Vegas years.

		Prima was a longtime veteran of the jazz scene who struck gold in the 1950s by mixing his Louis Armstrong influences with swinging jazz, throbbing Jump Blues, early R&B and Neapolitan zaniness.
		Just by itself, his music was unforgettable; but when combined with his hilariously brash sense of showmanship, Prima became unstoppable.
		While Prima's recorded output suffered when he left Capitol Records for supposedly greener pastures, he remained a very popular live act well into the '60s.

		Louis Prima with Keely Smith from "Louis Prima: The Wildest."
		Smith, with her Prince Valiant haircut and poker-faced, faintly disapproving attitude toward her husband's high jinks, was Prima's ideal comic foil, and after the couple separated in the early 60's, Prima's career never recovered.
		Of Sicilian descent, Prima was born in New Orleans, where he soaked up the sounds of local street bands and the Mardi Gras party spirit at the same time he was hearing Italian opera in his home.

		When Louis Prima was seven, growing up in New Orleans, he made his first violin out of a cigar box.
		Besides Louis' singing and the seven-piece band, there is "lots of comedy" in the act which plays 20 weeks each year at the Hilton Hotel in Las Vegas, Prima's home for many years.
		This area is familiar to Prima, who remembers playing Cohoes and Watervliet (if not the specific clubs) and the fact that "we used to make jokes about Watervliet." Brother Leon played the former Dinty's Terrace Garden almost on the site of the present Colonie Coliseum Theater.

		Although the documentary does not make note of this, Prima’s debt to Louis Armstrong is enormous both in his trumpet playing and his singing.
		Prima’s longtime saxophone player was Sam Butera, who can be heard in a sizzling hot performance of “Night Train” in the documentary.
		To the end of his career, Prima was an old-time entertainer who wasn’t happy unless his audience was happy.
