Louis Prima was the overwhelming king of actual music making at that time. Bang on time, bang on tune and a real leader of his musicians. It is said that the Rat Pack formed up to compete with LP because he was filling his night club every night.
No, no, no I don't believe it! Every woman who was with Sinatra, ha, ha, ha, sang his praises including Ava Gardner and quite frankly I think she's had more than one or two lovers!
I believe it. My dad ended up at a bar Frank was at one night. He was a great guy, Don't get me wrong. Very talented and charismatic. But I feel most of his fame comes from his connections. Louis is definitely forgotten. But he had more charisma and stage presence by a mile.
