The King of Swing

Louis Prima - The Wildest!

So I'm falling in love with 50's music..
This album was so much fun to listen to. Like Sinatra it has such a magical quality about it. Totally carefree and lighthearted, I almost want to grab an umbrella and dance around, almost. Described as the 'King of Swingers', often his voice has been likened to Louis Armstrong, with it's raspy sound. He was not only a trumpet player/songwriter, but an actor too and had bags of personality.
Another album I am happy to have been acquainted with!
