His dad had that special tone,, a mix of Italian and southern accent. Also pitch perfect.

Glad to see Louis Prima Jr. keeping Dad's music alive an he's good at it too.

[@mtp4430]

Thank you for keeping your Dad's music alive. There was only one Louis Prima and Jr. knows that so please, no comments comparing him to his father.

[@rogeralsop3479]

Prima's music IS timeless.

Love "I Want You To be My Baby"!!!!No one though will ever perform it like Louis Prima Sr. and Jr.'s mom, Gia Maione!

Georgia Gibbs and Lillian Briggs give you a chance to change your mind

[@gerryroberts662]

I just googled this and,, WOW am i blown away... It was spot on.. So so cool....

[@alexhenderson8356]

Louis Sr. With Keely is the ticket. I've been enjoying the original stuff on KZbin. I wish Jr luck. His dad is American music history. Keep it alive!

[@flintlong2937]

Hey Alex, did you notice that the piano player is the only playing the original parts? My dad raised me up on every Prima Sr. record, and later when I had my own bands in Vegas, I got to meet and open for Sam at the Aladdin! Sam was super kind and sweet, and of course his last few bands were out of this world.

[@alexhenderson8356]

@@flintlong2937 I've seen Sam interviews. Looked like a very cool person. In his prime, he was hot stuff. Good singer, good musician and really put his soul into it. I really enjoy this stuff. I'm only 68 but I got an appreciation for 30s and 40s horn oriented music from my father. Nice to hear your story.

[@flintlong2937]

@@alexhenderson8356 Thanks, man. I"m 70, and I got it from my father as well. My dad worshipped Prima. He also like Cab Calloway and Louis Jordan and guys like that who were characters and entertainers. My dad liked the Treniers too. Are you familiar with them?

[@bigdancd]

How the Hell could you not like this awesome shit! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mmcgahn5948]

Saw this band in NJ at an outside summer concert… very entertaining show, would recommend it

[@butch8176]

[@richardhoff1626]

If there is no other reason to end this Pandemic, it is to get Louis and the band back on the road!

[@Qrayon]

The pandemic is over.

[@Norelti1973]

I respect the man, but he just does not have the magic his father had.

[@bobdillaber1195]

He has his own magic

[@WhiskeyDale]

[@JHelak]

Weren't these DJs part of a Saturday Night Live sketch?

[@shecky308]

[@DrDWHot]

what happen with Sarah.?

[@jessiem276]

I thought Louis Prima (the father) was black, but I don't remember ever seeing him. Looks like I was wrong.

[@paulsueta5961]

Sarah is very pretty

[@steve2me414]

Sorry guys pick another song.

[@dobramuzyka3764]

La fille faute !

[@jeanmariebasset2544]

Un peu sa voix cassée;le fils de Louis Prima déjà pas mal

[@genefogarty5395]

The band is super tight, but you don't catch lightning in a jar just because you share DNA with the man that did. No disrespect meant.

[@bill3979]

These clowns belong in a Saturday night live sketch.

[@bobdillaber1195]

Bet you're a lot of fun to be around.

[@RC-Flight]

Well if you ever have a chance to watch some of his dads performances on KZbin, then perhaps you would understand what they are up to!

[@reneadinaro8183]

Yo! Awesome! Louie jr. and his troupe have missed the context of the old man's music ! They were "white people sounding very sexy" which reads not protestant but catholic or Baptist, black. Louis was all about sex God bless him

[@mtp4430]

Thank you for keeping your Dad's music alive. There was only one Louis Prima and Jr. knows that so please, no comments comparing him to his father.
