I was disappointed that two of his songs, which I loved and still remember the words to, were not included in hislist. "The Bigger The Figure", and "Bony Bones" were on a 45 in a jukebox at Frates, in Westport, MA, where I worked during my senior year in high school ('52/'53). I played it so much, the owner gave it to me when they took it out of the jukebox.

Louis was the Greatest, and The Wildest. He influenced so many. Can anyone NOT Tap a Toe when a Prima piece is Playing? I think Not.

Biography
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 1920s, then successively 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. In each of his musical endeavors, he incorporated his exuberant personality into his act.
