That was the Hornady LEVERevolution so I looked it up and it was 140 gr. I will need to confirm with my brother-in-law, but that appears to be somewhere between 75-100 yards.
Why does it seem like whenever keely starts to get a little to into the dancing he grabs her arm? It looks like he's trying to stifle her a little. Anybody else notice this?
Every time I get a little down and I need a feel good song I watch Louis and Keely. What great chemistry and they're having so much fun. It's contagious. Keely's impish dead pan and Louis saying she was the blubber he'd been waiting for and Keely giving him the get lost sign towards the end-- too much fun.❤
I love the videos of Keely Smith standing perfectly still and making subtle gestures at Prima. Cher stole Keely’s reactions with Sonny acting like Prima.
As a,10/11 year old growing up I would often listen to my aunt and uncle sing and play these songs my uncle had a jazz band and my aunt would sing in the band sadly they are no longer with us in body today but these videos of Louis Prima and Keely Smith bring back memories
Note the drummer’s calfskin bass drum head. I played drums, and as recently as my freshman year in h.s., ‘68, you could find them. Then plastic stormed in.
I’m obsessed with this song, reminds me of me and my PERFECT girlfriend in 2024, long and happy lives to Italian Americans everywhere, I pray everyone of you lives in a fairytale like I do!!!
In The Jungle Book, the filmmakers originally considered Louis Armstrong for the role of King Louie, but fearing the controversy that may result from casting a black person as an ape, they instead chose Italian-American and fellow New Orleans native Louis Prima.
@@DougMcDave I was a performing singer songwriter for years and met and staged with a few of these folks, but as I remarked to my young daughters in the 70's and 80's during the jungle book years for them, only the Disney people could think of casting Phil Harris and Louie Prima together and hand them that scat freedom how unlikely a duo and how massive the ultimate performance, I have made pass after pass through that work!
Kookie Keeley and crazy Louis... they were perfection in this song! I've loved this song since I was a child and have never been a fan of 50's music, but this was SPECIAL!
This was REAL entertainment. The level of production and synchronicity required to pull something like this off in the early days of color TV is absolutely mind-boggling to think of! Funny thing is that years later, Van Halen covered a bunch of Louis Prima tunes and made them popular with an entirely different generation. I remember playing some Van Halen (maybe it was on the Diver Down album) and having my dad tell me about the original recordings and how he and my mom had seen them live in Georgetown when they were dating.
