As a tribute to Louis Prima’s birthdate (December 7th), Mr. King will be covering the dynamic duo of Louis Prima and Keely Smith. You’ll learn – and listen to – Louis’ roller-coaster music career before he met Keely; his funny hit records from the 1940’s; how they first teamed up in Virginia Beach; how Louis & Keely lit up the Casbah Lounge at the Sahara Hotel and made it THE place to be seen in Las Vegas; the story behind their biggest hit, “That Old Black Magic”; and the story of their personal lives, including after they split up. Mr. King holds a Masters in Broadcasting from Boston University and a BA from Princeton. A lifelong devotee of recorded music, he formerly hosted music programs on WBUR radio.
