Louis Prima Artist Snapshot:

New Orleans-born singer/trumpeter Louis Prima started recording in the 1930s with his New Orleans Gang. Around this time, he also composed the classic swing tune "Sing, Sing, Sing," which became a smash for Benny Goodman. In the '40s, Prima started working with singer Keely Smith, who he eventually married. With a raucous stage show mixing swing, R&B, some Italian flavor, and a hefty dose of humor, they were hugely successful all the way into the early '60s. Prima later earned accolades as the voice of King Louie in the hit Disney film THE JUNGLE BOOK. He passed away in 1978, but Smith went on performing and recording into the 21st century.

Product note

In the mid-1950s, vocalist/trumpeter Louis Prima developed a Las Vegas stage act that showcased his winning chemistry with his wife, singer Keely Smith. Backed by saxophonist Sam Butera and his band, the Witnesses, the Prima/Smith show, which featured swinging music, sassy songs, and plenty of humorous asides, proved so successful that it garnered the whole ensemble a contract with Capitol Records.
This massive eight-disc box set collects not only Prima, Smith, and Butera's '50s and '60s studio work for the label, but also live recordings and solo outings by the three entertainers. Among the nearly 200 assembled tracks are energetic numbers that mix jump blues, jazz, and early rock & roll to utterly charming effect; classics like "Just a Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody," "Jump, Jive, An' Wail," and "Oh Marie" stand alongside Crescent City standards like "Way Down Yonder In New Orleans" and "Bourbon Street Blues." Although many fans will be content with CAPITOL COLLECTORS SERIES, the whittled-down version of this release, this comprehensive set is essential for true Prima diehards.
