Louis Prima (December 7, 1910 – August 24, 1978) was an American singer, actor, songwriter, and trumpeter. Prima rode the musical trends of his time, starting with his seven-piece New Orleans style jazz band in the late 1920s, then leading a swing combo in the 1930s, a big band in the 1940s, a Vegas lounge act in the 1950s, and a pop-rock band in the 1960s.
Prima was from a musical family in New Orleans. His father, Anthony Prima, was the son of Leonardo Di Prima, a Sicilian immigrant from Salaparuta, while his mother, Angelina Caravella, had immigrated from Ustica as a baby. Prima was the second child of four; his older brother, Leon, was born in 1907, while his sisters Elizabeth and Marguerite were younger. Marguerite died when she was three years old. Leon, Louis, and Elizabeth were all baptized at St. Ann's Parish. They lived in a house at 1812 St. Peter Street in New Orleans, which was mainly populated by Italians, Arabs, Jews and African Americans.
Prima's mother, Angelina, was a first-generation Italian American in New Orleans. She made sure that each child played an instrument. Prima was assigned the violin and started out playing at St. Ann's Parish. He became interested in jazz when he heard black musicians, including Louis Armstrong. Clubs such as Matranga's, Joe Segrettas, Tonti's Social Club, and Lala's Big 25 were all owned and operated by Italians but allowed Blacks and Italians to play.

Plot: Al Stump is a famous sports-writer chosen by Ty Cobb to co-write his official, authorized 'autobiography' before his death. Cobb, widely feared and despised, feels misunderstood and wants to set the record straight about 'the greatest ball-player ever,' in his words. However, when Stump spends time with Cobb, interviewing him and beginning to write, he realizes that the general public opinion is largely correct. In Stump's presence, Cobb is angry, violent, racist, misogynistic, and incorrigibly abusive to everyone around him. Torn between printing the truth by plumbing the depths of Cobb's dark soul and grim childhood, and succumbing to Cobb's pressure for a whitewash of his character and a simple baseball tale of his greatness, Stump writes two different books. One book is for Cobb, the other for the public.

Tony Horowitz begins talking about how Sam Butera and Louis Prima developed the modern lounge act. He backed Prima in 1974-75 when the Vegas legend changed his sound with electric keyboards. Horowitz had come from playing with Ray Charles. Tony also arranged most of Louis Prima's last LP. Tony joined up with Butera and Prima when Prima's band members left to form The New Goofers high wire comedy act. Hear what it was like to travel with Louis who refused to fly. And about the death of one of the greatest entertainers of all time. Towards the end Tony talks about working with Ray Charles. Also: Do you know the story behind the John Denver song 'Leaving on a Jet Plane?' It may surprise you! This interview took place in 2010.

[Lyrics Louis Prima - That Was a Big Fat Lie] When you look at me that way, I must believe the things you say, Why, if you told me night was day, I wouldn't doubt it. Baby, if you told me that the world I thought was round, was flat, Not one of my eyelids would bat, I'm easily touted. But when it comes to matters of the heart, I, and my belief in you, just part I kind of believed you when you said your nights were lonely, Til the day that I came by. But when you whisper'd that I was your one and only That was a big fat lie. I should have been wiser than I was and seen right through you, But the moon got in my eye. That stuff about I never lived until I knew you That was a big fat lie. You must have started to fib when you were wearing a bib, And such a habit's hard to break. A little ...
[Lyrics Louis Prima - You Call It Madness But I Call It Love] I can't forget the night I met you, That's all I'm thinking of; And now you call it madness, But I call it love. You made a promise to be faithful By all the stars above; And now you call it madness, I still call it love. My heart is beating,It keeps on repeating, For you constantly. You're all I'm needing, And so I'm pleading, Please come back to me! You made a plaything out of romance! What do you know of love? That's why you call it madness, But I call it love.
[Lyrics Louis Prima - Yes We Have No Bananas] There's a fruit store on our street It's run by a Greek. And he keeps good things to eat But you should hear him speak! When you ask him anything, he never answers no. He just yeses you to death, and as he takes your dough He tells you Yes, we have no bananas We have-a no bananas today. We've string beans, and onions Cabbageses, and scallions, And all sorts of fruit and say We have an old fashioned to-mah-to A Long Island po-tah-to But yes, we have no bananas. We have no bananas today. Business got so good for him that he wrote home today, Send me Pete and Nick and Jim; I need help right away. When he got them in the store, there was fun, you bet. Someone asked for sparrow grass and then the whole quartet All answered Yes, we have no bananas W...

[Lyrics Louis Prima - That Old Black Magic Live] Old black magic has me in its spell Old black magic that you weave so well Those icy fingers up and down my spine The same old witch craft when your eyes meet mine Same old tingle that I feel inside And then the elevator starts it ride Down and down I go Round and round I go Like a leaf caught in a tide I should stay away but what can I do I hear your name and I'm a flame Flame, flame of desire That only your kiss (put out the fire) For you're the lover I have waiting for Your the mate that fate had me created for And every time your lips meet mine Down and down I go Round and round I go In a spin, lovin' the spin I'm in Under the old black magic called love In a spin lovin' the spin I'm in Under the old black magic called love...
[Lyrics Louis Prima - You Won't Be Satisfied Until You Break My Heart] You won't be satisfied until you break my heart, You're never satisfied until the teardrops start! I tried to shower you with love and kisses, But all I ever get from you is, Naggin' and braggin' My poor heart is saggin' The way you toss my heart around's a cryin' shame, I'll bet you wouldn't like it if I did the same! You're only happy tearin' all my dreams apart, Oh you won't be satisfied until you break my heart! The way you toss my heart around's a cryin' shame, I'll bet you wouldn't like it if I did the same! You're only happy tearin' all my dreams apart, Oh you won't be satisfied until you break my heart!

[Lyrics Louis Prima - Saint Louis Blues] I hate to see that evening sun go down, I hate to see that evening sun go down, 'Cause my lovin' baby done left this town. If I feel tomorrow, like I feel today, If I feel tomorrow, like I feel today, I'm gonna pack my trunk and make my getaway. Oh, that St. Louis woman, with her diamond rings, She pulls my man around by her apron strings. And if it wasn't for powder and her store-bought hair, Oh, that man of mine wouldn't go nowhere. I got those St. Louis blues, just as blue as I can be, Oh, my man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea, Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me. I love my man like a schoolboy loves his pie, Like a Kentucky colonel loves his rocker and rye I'll love my man until the day I die, Lord, Lord. ...
[Lyrics Louis Prima - There'll Be No Next Time] I saw this stranger leave my pad And this made me awful sad (I don't blame ya) But in the meantime I was getting real mad (You had a right to be) And I said baby What explanation do you have? (Wha, wha, what she say) She said mmm next time I said there'll be no next time That was the last time for me (You told her right and I'm proud of you) Then I grabbed my hat And I headed for the door (Yeah and don't don't don't come back either) I knew I wouldn't be back There no more (You're doing the right thing Sam) I wrote the landlord A real cool gentle man (And what did he say) He said, hey Sam, how about the rent (And what you told him) I said mmmm next time He said there'll be no next time Your coming up right now (Don't give him nothing Sam) ...
