Video

It's a great, powerfully swinging version. I don't understand what was the purpose, in these videos, of having his wife stand around looking stern and afflicted. It doesn't add anything, it detracts.

I love to watch these clips with Louie, Sam and the Witnesses. And I know it was Louis' idea to have Keely just stand there like that, but I never got the joke. She looks absolutely miserable, like there is someplace she'd rather be. I'm glad he didn't continue that with his second wife onstage.

We’re gonna take a quick break, but we’ll be back in a while so don’t nobody go nowhere.

Love Louie!

That guy doesn't suck at playing saxophone.

Потрясно!!!

I've been a fan of Junior Wells since I was a kid, was about 13, in 1968. Around the time I married my wife in 1984, I played a Junior Wells album for my Sicilian-American mother in law who told me she really like Junior's (and Buddy Guy's) music! She said it reminded her of Louis Prima. I think that's quite a compliment.

Both are good, like both versions.

Sam & Louis the dynamic duo

This is like Minstrel in reverse. White folks imitation of Black juke joint music. Not bad...but no Big Joe Turner.

I actually played the Baritone Saxophone in my High School's Jazz Band,1974. I love this music.

Happiest

Keely's schtick is just hilarious...

de nos jours ,pourquoi a t'on perdu cette faculté de faire de la belle et bonne musique , là on a qu'une seule envie c'est d'écouter et de danser

Awesome- put another flip disc on the spin box daddy-o

I share her contempt

WOW!!! Absolutely awesome! “Night Train”🎶

Sam Butera was a saxophone monster.

Spectacular ! I wish I had Half his energy.. and Keely! Gorgeous, as usual

If it just went on for a little bit longer!! Possibly for eternity what a tune!!!!

That day,fun was had

smokin'

Ha ha, Keely's look at 1:00 is priceless 😂

Ale dmucha w swoją konewkę ❤

great stuff

Oh wow! I had no idea that James Brown’s version was a remake of these guys! Love this!! It’s never too late to learn. 💕

Fifty nine years old black dude, just recently heard this version and gotta agree with the dude in the beginning of the video. Back when cool really meant cool, the clothes,the mannerisms, the way dudes carried themselves,all that stuffs gone. Maybe it will come back,

Absolutely wonderful !

This is the same tune that served as Geraldine's first walk-on music on the Flip Wilson Show.

1957-59 AFN Munich had a 2300 (aka 11 PM) program called Night Train. I listened every night.

Sexophone !!!!!

What's wrong with lil Mama on the left??? 🤣🤣🤣 Great performance.

O jazz faz exatamente oque fez com Louis Prima e saxofonista ...mexe com a gente. Sinto o mesmo. ❤

Me and my band opened for Sam and his guys "the Wildest" at the Aladdin in Las Vegas for several months in about 1990. Sam was sweet and dear and kind to us younger guys and so were his band members including drummer Chuck Stevens who was the brother of Connie Stevens. I loved, loved, loved Sams act and especially his sax playing. I'm a pianist and I play a little tenor as well.

Omg. Never forget being raised on this . Amazing

Keely Smith deadpan 50's blase' !

Keely Smith was the perfect foil.

Fantastic performance...love Kelly's dead pam expression lol

I love their interaction.

Keely would join in the silliness and laughs sometimes.

Thank you

It took effort not to react to that

Prima was Primo Louis and Keely along with Sam Butera and the witnesses were one kick ass band.

la classe Mr Louis j'adore 👍👍❤❤🎼🎼

Get that chick off stage

4 years before my birth Never heard of them before. Love his enthusiasm and joy and whole band sound. Still trying to figure out her no smile purpose

And I thought James brown version rocked and it does. Till I heard this one

Dang, Keely was stone faced! Was that a bit they were doing, or was she straight-up not having a good time?
