God, I was born in the wrong era. I love Louis Prima so much, and he and Gia made so much magic on stage. I can't believe how fast she sings on this one!!
Lena is a beautiful combination of her mom and dad!! She is so talented, just like her parents! I wish her all the best in her life and many years of happiness. I knew Lena in Vegas, and she is a lovely girl. God bless you, Lena, and keep on singing!! Lynne Powell Caballero
To all those who have disparaging things to say about Gia because she doesn’t compare to Keely I have this to say…Louis knew talent and he is the one who chose Gia to replace Keely.
She's definitely talented even though she's not in Keely's class, but few are..it's still a pleasure to hear her sing. Prima really had an eye for talent but he's a dog.
And speaking of Hendricks (of Lambert, Hendricks and Ross) THEY do a wonderful tune called "Cloudburst", has a riff in the middle which requires the same nimble tongued almost-scat tempo as "I Want You To Be..". A great companion piece! And I really was blown away: Gia hung in there, moving right along with Lou, syllable for syllable! Terrific performance all round and a nice musical memory!

I love these artists. But this performance is like a joke. And best of all this song is performed by Georgia Gibbs and also by Lillian Briggs. In fact, Gia is not 21, but 24 years old. They married in 1963 and she and Louis have a 2-year-old daughter, Lena Prima. And this is not the first joint performance of Louis and Gia ever tv.
Elvis, I don’t understand. This video is labeled 1962. They Married Feb. 1963. You are saying she was 24 when she married? How could they have a two year old child in 1963?
@@whitneyailenroc7206 Gia Maione Prima (May 20, 1941 - September 23, 2013). She first gained notice in 1962, when she was signed to sing lead female vocals for Prima and his band. Prima had divorced Keely Smith, his former lead vocalist, the year before. Gia Mayon In 1963, she married Prima, becoming his fifth and final wife.

I just love Gia--great addition to Prima group!!!!
They are so terrfic!!!! I just love Gia.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
R.I.P. Gia...Great voice an a beautiful woman.
Talent one does not see today - wonderful and marvelous!!!

Yes, I agree but Keely and Louie were the absolute greates duet
@BostonCleaningCo they were amazing!
This clip is just off the wall awesome. Louis and Sam were hysterical to listen to, but this is more proof that "you had to be there".
It's a blessing to have these films.
The ultimate Italian❤️
great. Fantastic. Everything perfect voices and players. Good old times. I still remember see on TV at Portugal last man of the movie when kid.
She did this very well.

This is Gia getting her revenge on all the haters in future 😂💖 She may not have been Keely, but she proved in her own right she was there to stay!

Used to listen to Lambert, Jon Hendricks and Annie Ross on Symphony Sid in 1959. Cloudburst is a good song.

Nothing against Gia Maione, but watching Louis Prima perform without Keely Smith feels wrong
I agree
Like grilled cheese.....without the cheese.
I like Gia better. Keely had a beautiful voice. But Gia is way more fun.
put your trust in Jehovah and you will be saved from this world ruled by Satan.
Christian K thx m8
I would willingly trust Satan over you people..and quit knocking on my door!
Bruh... Lady Luck will saved you from Satan!
