Overview

Louis Prima: The Wildest! is an electrifying documentary that celebrates the life and legacy of one of America's most vibrant performers. Before the Las Vegas Strip echoed with the voices of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, or Tom Jones, Louis Prima was captivating audiences with his infectious energy and unique sound. Known for hits like "That Old Black Magic," "Sing, Sing, Sing," and "Jump, Jive an' Wail," Prima's influence stretches from the jazz clubs of New Orleans and New York to the animated jungles of Disney's The Jungle Book, where he voiced King Louie.

This award-winning documentary, honored with the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the 1999 Hamptons International Film Festival, takes viewers on a nostalgic journey through Prima's career. Featuring never-before-released interviews and full-length performance videos, this film is a must-have for music lovers and history buffs alike.
