It was an act they played between them. She would dead pan irritation and boredom with his antics, and Prima's antics would get crazier and crazier in retaliation.
They were absolutely fantastic!. So talented. U wont find talent like that anymore. They were made for each other. She had a beautiful voice and his on stage talent was the very best. Both of you RIP. .🙏
What an incredible performance. The notes they drop in words or sounds... fall in that space between rhythm parts.... that's are open.... which define this style of song. If that makes any sense.
RIP Keely Smith.A superb act.Don't think I go a day without listening to some of there records.You got to love the underpinning rhythm 'shuffle beat' in the background,makes me want to get up and dance!
Keely was like that knockout in high school that all the boys were crazy about but could never get near. Louis was the class goofball, making faces and doing everything to get her attention. At first, she can't stand him but, little by little, he finally wins her over!
He's havin an absolute ball. I wdv loved to have met him. He and his band are everything entertainers shd be about.....passionate, creative and lovin every minute of it. I'm a musician and appreciate all that he was about. True entertainer.....
I loved these two people. They knew how to entertain. Two of my other favorites were Sonny and Cher. Does anyone notice the resemblance besides me? Rest in peace Keely, Louie, and Sonny. Still love you Cher.
Louis Prima, keely Smith trop formidables, leurs style fabuleux, sens du rythme, humour a deux, hilarant, tempo extraordinaire, vraiment jamais nous ne retrouverons, des voix pareils.
What can you say about this lil' ol' swingin' group? THE WERE THE HOTTEST - THIGHTEST AND MOSTLY GROOVIN' LITTLE BAND ANYWERE. Beside that, Louis Prima, the King of (what is it called???) entertaining! Not too forgot the charming talented KEELY SMITH!!!

Impossible to watch without smiling or laughing out loud! Many thanks for posting.
I heartily concur !! :-)
This is great!

I’m not yelling, I’m Italian!
ME TOO ! ! !
1957 Keely Smith could easily be a huge star today.
They were absolutely fantastic!. So talented. U wont find talent like that anymore. They were made for each other. She had a beautiful voice and his on stage talent was the very best. Both of you RIP. .🙏
RIP Keely. You were a great singer and entertainer.
There's a street plaque dedicated to her in her hometown, Norfolk, VA.
William Burke where can i find it online?
This was great😂 all the others who stands there stoically and this one she finally smiles and laughs and enjoys it.
Best lounge act in the history of Las Vegas. Pure entertainment no longer found today.
Better even than Cliff Richard
Louis his right hand and very good friend on the sax, the one and only Sam Butera.
0:53 - I love that gesture Keely makes. These two were so hysterical and full of energy.
You never saw Keely so comfortable as she was in the arms Louis Prima.
Look at that chemistry,all that fun.
You can't find that shit nowadays.
Damn
they kinda make a good couple actually...
Enrico Satria they were a couple!
She was something else.
Simply BRILLIANT. Real entertainment from HUGELY talented stars.
What an incredible performance. The notes they drop in words or sounds... fall in that space between rhythm parts.... that's are open.... which define this style of song. If that makes any sense.
Keely Smith, best female vocalist of the 50's!
I love these two! Great music and great shenanigans
I wish to see Louie Prima, Keely and the Band when they played Vegas ... one request of my Genie
Love Louie n Kelly .never knew she was native American so cool
This was the best

So true!
How awesome!
The resistance and movement and human spirit that went against the grain and put rhythm into a society without rhythm!!!
Grandissimo ,Luigi ,mio corregionale siciliano.
He was the greatest of them all.
They had the time of their lives every night, five times a night, for years. How do you beat that?
He's havin an absolute ball. I wdv loved to have met him. He and his band are everything entertainers shd be about.....passionate, creative and lovin every minute of it. I'm a musician and appreciate all that he was about. True entertainer.....
These two were great together
The inspiration for Sonny and Cher act on TV.
+Bruce Riley Exactly!
Only far more talent
When I was a little kid, them, Duke Ellington, Count Basie and Nat "King" Cole, Pearl Bailey and a few others absolutely CAPTIVATED me on TV !
I loved these two people. They knew how to entertain. Two of my other favorites were Sonny and Cher. Does anyone notice the resemblance besides me? Rest in peace Keely, Louie, and Sonny. Still love you Cher.
Incredibile

I saw Keely and Sam Butera perform live. Met them.
wow i he was 31 years older than her when they married. prima born 1910 and keely in 1941.
Ho, what fantastic entertainment, superb. What chemistry, what a gorgeous, talented, lady.
Hilarious clip. Rare time in which Louis made Keely laugh on stage since he was the wild one and she was the straight one.
A great paesano!
Louis Prima, além de seu exótico talento e simpatia, era uma "figuraça!!"
She is a beauty
Flipping awesome
