Video Finds of the Day
Almost forgotten greats.
Keely Smith and Louis Prima had a great chemistry. He was wired, she was dead-pan, but they worked perfectly together.
This one shows Keely Smith off.
Louis Prima & Keely Smith - All Night Long 1956
This next video has three songs. The first two are sung by Prima. The third is sung by Sam Butera.
Louis Prima & Sam Buterra - Oh Babe -My House- Fever
The last is a super rendition of Night Train by Butera, while Keely Smith looks on unmoved. Priceless. "Embedding disabled" so go see it at YouTube.

Peggy Lee
Video Find of the Day
When I was about six I developed a huge age-inappropriate crush on Peggy Lee. The Peggy Lee I saw was the Peggy Lee who recorded songs for Disney's Lady and the Tramp. First though, here's a younger, 23 year-old, Peggy Lee singing in an awesome video with Benny Goodman. Oh. My. God.
Benny Goodman and Peggy Lee - Why Don't You Do Right
Don't worry, in this next one, Walt Disney gets out of the picture pretty soon. I love watching the guys doing the dog's voices, especially the guy doing the bulldog's voice. So cool. I think I saw this sequence just once, when I was six or seven. It made a lasting impression.
Peggy Lee - He's a Tramp-Walt Disney-Lady and the Tramp-song
Finally, here she is in her sixties, hot as ever, doing Fever.

Eine Schrecklich Nette Familie
Video Find of the Day
Here's another one of those things where I'm just rooting around for videos of cute puppies playing, and all of the sudden I find myself in the middle of a whole bunch of Married With Children clips. And I think, what was that clip that I liked so much? And I think, oh yes, it was the one where Kelly Bundy dances to You Give Me Fever. So I do a search on "kelly bundy dances" on YouTube and I get this. Only it isn't "Married With Children" exactly. It's "Eine Schrecklich Nette Familie." And it's even better! I LOVE it in German!
