Louis Prima and his jazz quintet behind him offer a musical selection in this short subject. Prima whose style is as identifiable as that other musician named Louis gives us a few popular selections. We hear Way Down Yonder In New Orleans and then from singer Shirley Lloyd I Can't Give You Anything But Love. Lloyd bears no small reesemblance to the woman Prima later married, Keely Smith.

Some fine swing dancing from Ted Gary and Mitzi Dahl is next on the menu and then a swinging version of Loch Lomond. It was popular back then to swing a lot of public domain items. No ASCAP royalties to be paid.

Prima's work is as infectious as it comes even the young of today will enjoy him.

The music genre features stories showcasing musical performances, music-related documentaries and recordings of live concerts and music festivals.
