That’s my hubby, Jon Hypes, on bass! So great finding this video after so many years! Go Sam, Go! Go, The Wildest, Go!

He was Louis Prima's music director and wrote many of his arrangements. I used to watch him perform nearly every weekend back in 80s and early 90s at Resorts Casino in Atlantic City. A musical genius. His band was very tight and all top notch musicians.

This guy is amazing.

Look up the video from 1957 where he plays Night Train - Louis Prima and Keely Smith watch him. It will blow you away.

The drum was named Chuck Stevens. He was Connie Stevens brother, and a very good drummer.

How many generations will never have a memory of Jerry's kids and the Labor Day telecast of MDA. How a classier era raised money for a good cause while entertaining a proud nation. Better days, lets pray
