    The Ed Sullivan Show was a television variety program that aired on CBS from 1948-1971. For 23 years it aired every Sunday night and played host to the world's greatest talents. The Ed Sullivan Show is well known for bringing rock n' roll music to the forefront of American culture through acts like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. The entertainers each week ranged from comedians like Joan Rivers and Rodney Dangerfield, to Broadway stars Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, to pop singers such as Bobby Darin and Petula Clark. It also frequently featured stars of Motown such as The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5. The Ed Sullivan Show was one of the only places on American television where such a wide variety of popular culture was showcased and its legacy lives on to this day.

    Sam was a dear family friend. Louis is my great-grandfather, and Gia is my great-grandmother. All my life, “Miss Gia” (what we all called her) was endlessly kind, warm, and incredibly generous. She got along really well with Keely (Keely Smith), and they frequently wrote to one another, as well as to all the grandkids and great-grandkids. Thank you all so much for the lovely words, for continuing to enjoy Louis and Sam’s music.

      I remember when I started in band, back in the 60's. I played trumpet, and while the other trumpet players said they wanted to play like Louis Armstrong or Herb Alpert, I always had wanted to play like Louis Prima....my Dad played his records all the time.

    I apriaciate the fact that although Louis Prima was a "solo artist" he stayed with his band most of the time instead of contantly switching musicians. That shows that they realy had a good relationsship and didn't just play for the money

    • @sammyrobbins6848
      @sammyrobbins6848 Před 3 lety +4

      Oh yeah, I mean in his songs you hear him constantly screaming “SAM!!!!”
      It’s Louie Prima and the Witness, he had a band and I think he loved giving them attention too. I don’t think ever ended up a sell out like Sinatra did and that means something to me. When I think Italian showman/Jazz I think Prima first

    I love these guys. I've been watching everything posted about them for weeks. I learned Prima wrote the monster swing hit Sing Sing Sing made famous by Benny Goodman. These guys are part of or better yet, made American history. They were the hottest act in Vegas for years. Even Sinatra was envious. Prima's act is why Sinatra formed the Rat Pack, to compete with Prima in Vegas! It took several major stars joined together to compete with Prima. They were proud Italian Americans. Love Prima, Butera and Keely! Gina was nice too. God bless their souls!

    This man seems to have a theme of great joy on the stage for himself and each of his performers. He sang well. Educated others to appreciate different languages at a time of English only ignorance intolerance. He featured the talent of others and danced harder to their music. I am 62 and not aware I knew him then but I sense my mother or foster parents knew and enjoyed him. Now I enjoy them. Seems like family man.

    I met Mr. Sam Butera back in 1996 when he was playing at the Showboat Casino in Las Vegas, NV. I was an 18yr old kid who immediately fell in love with both the man & his music. I wasn't technically old enough to be in the casino at the time, not being 21yrs old yet, and Mr. Butera must have guessed it. He had noticed me watching his performances from behind the escalator eaves (before security would run me off, which I'm sure he also saw) for over a week straight, and one night on band break, he approached me. He asked me why I kept sneaking into the casino and show area, knowing that security was just gonna keep running me off? I answered him honestly, saying, "I really like how you play the saxophone. My Dad was a saxophone player too, before he passed away, and it reminds me of him when I hear you play, Sir."
    After that night, Mr. Butera would have a special security guard keep an eye out for me to show up, and when I did, that security guard would personally walk me right up to the front of the stage, and set me down where Mr. Butera had placed a small table & chair with a placard on it stating "Special VIP Seating", and if anyone questioned about me being there, he would simply tell them "She's with the band", then he'd wink & smile at me.
    He was a class act through & through, and they don't make them like him anymore!
    LOVE YOU FOREVER MR. BUTERA!!

    Satchmo had and still has an army of imitators who were also technically very accurate and good but, in my opinion, Louis Prima is the only one who managed to present not only the technique but also the musical spirit of Louis Armstrong.

    Il *Belìce* è un fiume siciliano che ebbe ai greci il nome di un Dio, *Ὕψας **_pronuncia (Húpsās)*, dagli arabi, durante la dominazione saracena, il nome di *al-Qārib _(il vicino)_* e dagli *Arbëreshë di Sicilia* il nome di *Honi* perché nasce nella *Piana degli albanesi* e dagli *italiani* una pronuncia sbagliata di cui il Dio del fiume se ne amareggiò.
    Durante il terremoto della valle del Belìce del 1968 _(370 morti di cui 10 soccorritori, 1.000 feriti e 90.000 sfollati)_ i giornalisti della RAI commisero un arbitrio: *_spostarono la cadenza dalla seconda sillaba alla prima per cui il Belìce divenne il Bèlice._*
    *E questo fosse niente.*
    In questa valle vi è *Salaparuta, il luogo più importante nella storia del Jazz. Se Salaparuta non fosse esistita, mai esistita, se i *salitani* non avessero mai fatto parte del genere umano non avremmo avuto *Nick La Rocca* nato a New Orleans (figlio di Girolamo di di Salaparuta e Vita De Nina) che nel 1918 sostituì la parola jass in jazz nel nome della sua formazione, che divenne così il primo a farsi riconoscere con il nome jazz: *Original Dixieland Jazz Band*. La Rocca, da molti, è considerato un pioniere del jazz classico, uno dei primi interpreti in assoluto. La sua arte influenzò tutto quello che venne dopo.
    *E questo fosse niente.*
    Non avremmo avuto *Louis Prima*, nato a New Orleans, ma nipote di Luigi Di Prima emigrato da Salaparuta nella seconda metà dell’Ottocento.
    Louis Prima era molto orgoglioso delle sue origini, e ad ogni esibizione non mancava di far sapere al pubblico che era italo-americano e di New Orleans. Nel suo modo di cantare e di suonare erano evidenti molte influenze dell’Italia Meridionale: la teatralità dei gesti della sceneggiata o dell’opera dei pupi, l’arte scenica e le feste popolari del sud.
    Iniziava i concerti sempre con: *_“My name is Louis Prima, I'm from New Orleans e song’Italiano”_*
    Dal pubblico rispondeva sempre uno - non si sa se era lo stesso di sempre a New Yor, a Los Angeles, a Miami - *_“Uè, paisà”_*
    Lui scoppiava a ridere e iniziava con *Keely Smith* o con *Sam Butera* al sax un duetto, una macchietta.
    *E a volte per una pronuncia sbagliata noi roviniamo tutto: Belìce, Belìce non Bèlice.*
