So, I'm super chuffed to have been named Blogger of the week by Aya of Strawberry Koi Vintage. Thank-you ever so - it's, well, a bit of an honour, really! Not least because I absolutely adore Aya's blog - she's certainly a great inspiration to me!
Today I bought a bunch of CDs for 2$ each, one of which was the music of Louis Prima, an astonishing showman, I must say! And the music - it's all full of this wonderful energy that's entirely infectious.
I've found a couple if videos for you all (if you're interested, there are a lot more on youtube to be found)

I think this is definitely one of his most famous songs - a medley of Just a Gigolo and I Ain't Got Nobody
And here he is singing with Keely Smith, with whom he appears to have performed many duets.

congratulations on being blogger of the week at strawberry koi!
ReplyDeleteOh I love Sam Cooke who I think originally did 'Another Saturday night' otherwise known as 'I ain't got nobody' that kind of music is magic!
ReplyDeleteFrances: He's just fantastic! I agree. =]
ReplyDeleteLizzy: I'm glad you like it! And thank-you =D
Q's Daydream: Thank-you!! =D
Line: Glad you enjoyed the music. And thanks! =D
Jessica: Thanks, darling. =]
Amanda: Thank-you! =D
Bucca: Sam Cooke is great (and I love 'Another Saturday Night' - one of my favourite songs) - 'I Ain't Got Nobody' was a different song, though - it was a jazz standard which Louis Prima incorporated with 'I'm Just a Gigolo' to make his medley. =D
I love how deadpan Keely Smith is all the time, just looking at Louis like, 'Oh, please.' Cracks me right up. He's like a puppy trying to get her attention.
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats on blogger of the week!
Nancy: Yeah, they're great together! And thanks =D
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of Louis Prima but I'm looking forward to sampling more of his music. I love 40s and 50s music... particularly Cab Calloway. He had such an amazing voice!
ReplyDeleteCatherine: I'm glad you like him! I love Mr Calloway, too! =D
ReplyDeleteYep! Louis Prima is definitely a fave!
ReplyDeleteJuddie: He sure is wonderful!
