Louis Prima - Up the Lazy River: 1926

[@dennisgallagher]

This is from a 16 minute Hollywood short about Louis' career. It was made in 1936 and was called "Swing It."

You're right - there isn't much info regarding this movie. Maybe 1936 is the correct date. Thanks for the comment.

love to see a young louis, If this is from the 36 he was around the 26 year old mark

Great share. Thanks. And I'm sure you've been told, but this is 1936. Hoagy Carmichael didn't write this until 1930.

Thanks Joan, all fixed.

Sweet. During my mom's last week of her life she said that this was her favorite song. She was 10 when Hoagy Carmichael wrote it. I'm listening to every version I can find of it this week as I near the one year anniversary of her death. Thanks so much for sharing this one.

Pee Wee Russell Played With Red Nichols And Bix Beiderbecke In The Cass Hagan Orchestra, Was A Great

Nice clip! But if this dates from 1926 it means Louis is just 16 years old.
