Just a Gigolo & I Ain't Go Nobody
Louis Prima was from New Orleans and so was Sam Butera. I would have loved to have been able to see Louis Prima And The Witnesses with Keely Smith live.
Cool, daddy-o! LOL
I remember Louis Prima, too, but never heard of Butera. The vid reminded me (aside from the fact that I always thot Smith had the weirdest hairdo!) that my dad liked the swing bands, too. But I can’t for the life of me think of any!
I took my Dad to see Stan Kenton once...also saw the Beatles at the Olympia (I think that’s the name) in Detroit...AND Oscar Peterson at Baker’s Keyboard Lounge (one of the, if not the, oldest jazz clubs in the country, I believe)...he was not more than 5 feet away from our table.
Of course, I’ve also seen Black Sabbath (LORD, forgive me) with Elton John as warm-up band, Paul Butterfield Blues Band (in a tiny whole-in-the-wall place way back in the day) and Leo Kotke in concert...eclectic, I tell ya! LOL
Hey, we aren’t forgetting people like BB King or Otis Redding are we?
