wonderful presentation by Dave....I had the opportunity to see Louis perform in the sixties in Reno Nevada.....my band was playing across the street and when our show finished up, I would catch Louus and Keely and Sam with the Witnesses......Seeing that show live was the most exciting show I have ever seen excluding the James Brown Revue..... I have since tailored my act to include many of Louis tunes especially Buona Sera. The swing shuffle beat with a driving bass would get everybody on to the dance floor....you could not miss with the Prima sound. It was with great sadness upon learning of Prima's death, but I would catch Sam Butera every chance I got when he was in Atlantic City, and he would carry the Prima tradition perfectly. All I can say is......when I am feeling down, I put on a Prima track and instantly I am transported back to happiness....
OMG! I just happened to come across this video. I'm so glad I did. To this day, Louis Prima is still my favorite singer. I immediately subscribed to your channel. You did a great job singing too. Also, I'm Italian and from Long Island. 😊
Thank you so much! Louis was my Dad's favorite, and mine too! If you are into your Italian heritage, look into joining The Sons and Daughters of Italy in America here on LI. There are many local "lodges" or clubs. We belong to the Smithtown Sellaro Lodge.

@@IslandItalian Oh, I had no idea there was such a club. Thanks for letting me know.
One of your best, Dave and Paula. Great storytelling, excellent singing, and terrific editing and special F/X.
thanks
Who were the witnesses????
They were the backup band that was led by Sam Butera.
