Louis Prima & Sam Butera - Coolin'

[@lindafomenko712]

I moved to Vegas in 71 and didn't know a soul. Louis and Sam were in the Sands lounge and I went to see them almost every night. I got to know them all. Great memories.

[@mortalclown3812]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@bluzcompany2293]

Louis Prima,was the cool of cool ,with Sam by his side,they held school,on what is cool.

[@lotusmac6080]

[@jzzr345]

Too Cool For Words !

[@Billdick360]

My guess is, I've watched and heard them live over 25 times!!!!..

[@jaimeemassie236]

[@adrianosiciliano1730]

So amazing

[@supersalsa9491]

I envy anyone who had the opportunity to live in this fantastic time and experience the music and joy of Louis and sam

[@bethbartlett5692]

:-)
Dat was - is still. Cool
I was there at the end -

[@likewiselikeyou104]

god, I love Sam Butera. He's such a great performer.

[@scottp5803]

Louie's genius spans over five decades and changing with each decade while staying true to his roots, Keely, Sam Butera, and his band all shine when in the company of Louie because he's talented and extremely versatile and just alot of fun to be around.

[@happyshopper1806]

Just came to this been listening for 2 hours now
I'm in love

[@jodie4609]

So you could say you're
Cooooolin ❤😂❤😂❤

[@danwroy]

I can't believe this song, just incredible

[@jerrythompson5656]

My mom introduced me to his music when I was just 8or9 years old,lucky for me! I played it at her funeral. We walked in the 2nd line. I love you mom, and thanks again.

[@superduper3728]

Why would anyone give Louie Prima & his Swingin' band The Witness's the thumbs down ?

[@harriware]

luv this guy -how can you not smile when you see this!

[@fiftiessoundforever3002]

No talent like this exists any more.Great stuff!

[@wladekwloszcz3803]

never forgotten, they bring so much joy every time i listen to Mr. Prima, Mr. Butera, Ms. Keely and Ms. Gia.

[@davidbspamboy]

The very definition of "got it" and they sure did. Sam was so generous and such a skilled player. If I rubbed the lamp and got my wishes I would ask to sit in the front row at a Vegas show and just love it.

[@xybervid]

Sam Butera's laugh at 4:40 ...! When you're laughing, Sam, the whole world laughs with you!

[@briankeenan4901]

You know, As you listen to this.....you realize who REALLY invented Rock and roll. Louis and Sam were magnificent!!!!

[@ornellaolivieri8062]

thanks for sharing this gem! Here some italian hints - the last two members of the orchestra were two "cucuzze", which is how we call the zucchini here in Italy (mainly in South of Italy) - it's a word Louis seems very attached to, see the song "My Cucuzza". The password was "pasta and fagioli", pasta and beans in Italian - another typical Italian dish!

[@budorman]

The two cuccuzze are louie and sam, actually, thats part of his act, self effacing humor. Comfortable in his own Sicilian olive skin

[@richardolivieri5474]

I wonder of we are related

[@richardolivieri5474]

I wonder if we are related

[@bythesea4ever2010]

Oh I love it, I'm watching Louis Prima and Sam Butera singing "Come on 7" and I'm laughing big time this whole thing was just beautiful, Thanks for the memories 👍❤

[@buckwilliams2234]

Priceless! I feel as if I am in the room with these guys! So much natural talent musically, vocally, comically... I could watch this all day! Thank Jes for RUclips!

[@spencerlocke7443]

What a gem. Favorited, on the prima playlist, and sharing it with anyone who will listen

[@Wild_Western]

If I heard this music as I approached my driveway to park, I'd back out again and go for a rid and just "cooling"!
This is a jam regardless of how old the piece is...priceless...and this is not mentioning the showmanship of these musicians.
Incredible talent!

[@agochoa]

I love the class and style. Today can't compete.

[@kingdoc3262]

These guys had so much fun on stage. I sense they likely had no need for alcohol and drugs nor time for depression. Joyful group because of Louis and Sam Friendship

[@mariateresalopez9833]

Loved the song 'Coolin'. Classy & Sassy. The song had me going, and had me on pins & needles with the mystery & suspense, until it got to the end, & it reve aled the true identity of the person behind the 'seven veils', I hardly could contain my laughter. Those fellas must have had it in bad for Mr. Ness. It was comical & a riot of a song & a number routine back then. I wasn't even around when the Louie Prima Band was around, let alone the Untouchables. In certain circles, that song rocked "The World", & must have hit a nerve of some sort or nailed others. That was a wonderful performance. EXCELLENT!!! I luved it!! m.t.lopez 🥰🤩😍🙂🤗😳😷🤓👍

[@adrian-zr6eu]

There are dancers, singers and performers. But they don't make entertainers like these anymore.

[@UncleBubba13]

Amen and AMEN!

[@lisasnyder2811]

Sam had a wonderful voice. I love listening to his singing

[@user-fl3om4uv6f]

Sooo great made you want to get up and dance along with him a fantastic entertainer

[@chantac73]

AWESOME, JUST AWESOME. I COULD WATCHI THIS ALL DAY.

[@rustydog1236]

Sam said in an interview that it looked like they were getting wild on stage but in reality they were very well rehearsed. also their live shows had to be cleaned up for recording in those. They were much more colorful onstage in Las Vegas.

[@colleenhenry8022]

Love how he made everyone laugh!!!!

[@baladinho]

These guys are so great!

Super idea for Harry Connick Jr to try on his show. We need to adapt a story specific to one of Harry's trip worldwide.

[@MrBubyV]

Good Music

[@georgecastanza4170]

I don't know how true this is but I heard a long time ago that when he was in the Bronx he would hang out in a bakery on 187 and Southern Boulevard. My dad used to talk about him a lot

[@jimsliverootsculturemusic]

Where is this from? I thought I'd seen every bit of Louis and Sam ever filmed!

[@paparinga]

I never found any studio recordings of this song. Can anyone help me? Did they ever record it?

[@Homested_Retirement]

Louis Prima & Kelly Smith - On Stage
Album date 1960 side B forth song. I believe that the lyrics are slightly different version for example Wilbur Clark rather than Eliot Ness
I saw a DVD called Oh Marie on Amazon that has Coolin in the play list

[@paparinga]

@@Homested_Retirement Thank you so much, impressive knowledge, much appreciated! Cheers!

[@Homested_Retirement]

@@paparinga you’re welcome. Five years is a long time to wait for an answer. I too had been looking. I’m trying to figure out what movie this RUclips Coolin video came from.

[@paparinga]

@@Homested_Retirement tried to find it with our pal Chat GPT but unsuccesfully, give it a try, maybe with all the right info it could work if it's in the base

Why isn't he in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame?

[@scottp5803]

Because they're too busy putting rapper's in it, worthy nominees get overlooked consistently, I stopped caring about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and what they think. Apparently they have no idea what real music is..... And even less about rock and roll in general.

[@mattbnez]

@@scottp5803 I agree. I always thought R & R died when disco came in. I'll take Big Band and Swing now.

[@scottp5803]

@@mattbnez.......Rock-n-Roll will never die.....
