Louis Prima was big for the Burg folks who came before mine and
rightfully so. Such an original voice. From Sicily to New Orleans
to New York to Hollywood. Eventually marrying a Jersey Girl
from Toms River. For the longest time WBUD would play his
That Ole Black Magic and Angelina
UPDATE: Ralph Lucarella adds...
HI MAC...I ALWAYS THOUGHT LOUIE PRIMA WAS MARRIED TO
TOMMY MIONE'S DAUGHTER FROM BORDENTOWN, I BELIEVE HE
HAD A BAR THERE. I RECALL WHEN HE PLAYED HERE AT THE
CARNIVAL AND THE GUYS IN THE BURG PLAYED HIS BAND IN
SOFTBALL AT STACY PARK.I ALSO RECALL ROLAND, WHO RAN
THE ICE CREAM PARLOR NEXT TO THE GREENWOOD THEATRE,
PLAYING BASS FOR SAM BUTERA IN LAS VEGAS WHILE WITH
LOUIE PRIMA. REGARDS.
Thanks Ralph.. I found the Louis bio stuff on the
net so I trust YOU more than it, thanks for setting
this straight:)

I eat antipasta twice
just because she is so nice
Angelina
Angelina
the waitress at the pizzeria
I eat zuppa and minestrone
just to be with her alone
Angelina
Angelina
the waitress at the pizzeria
Ti voglio bene
Angelina I adore you
Ti voglio bene
Angelina I live for you
E un passione
You have set my heart on fire
But Angelina
never listens to my song
I eat antipasta twice
just because she is so nice
Angelina
Angelina
the waitress at the pizzeria
If she'll be a my cara mia
then I'll join in matrimony
with a girl who serves spumoni
and Angelina will be mine
C'e' la luna 'n mezzo 'u mare
Mamma mia me maritari
Figghia mia a cu te dari?
Mamma mia pensaci tu
Si ci dugnu li musicanti
iddu va, iddu veni
sempre lu strumento ne manu teni
Si ci pigghia 'a fantasia
lu strumento a figghia mia
O mamma, zooma zooma baccala
O mamma, zooma zooma baccala
o mamma, zooma zooma baccala
zooma zooma zooma zooma
zooma baccala
C'e' la luna 'n mezzo 'u mare
Mamma mia me maritari
Figghia mia a cu te dari?
Mamma mia pensaci tu
Si ci dugnu pisciaiolu
iddu va, iddu veni
sempre baccala ne manu teni
Si ci pigghia 'a fantasia
baccala a figghia mia
O mamma...
THAT'S GREAT BILL. YOU GOT PRIMA DOWN PAT. i WAS IN TAMPA RECENTLY AND WENT TO AN ITALIAN RESTAURANT THAT FEATURED SOME MUSICANS THAT PLAYED WITH PRIMA. ONE PLAYER SPOKE WITH KEELY SMITH AND SHE'S DOING FINE. HE RECALLED LOUIE'S MARRIAGE TO TOMMY MIONE'S DAUGHTER AND THEY PLAYED EVERYTHING IN THE STYLE PRIMA WAS NOTED FOR. REGARDS
