Louis Prima
5/5
Was first introduced to Louis Prima and Keely Smith with the Big Night soundtrack. That was way too late in life! Enjoyed them ever since. Listening feels like I might be on the back porch of a two-flat in Melrose Park circa 1955. Buona Cera!

Interesting. First time I've listened to an entire Eminem album. I have enjoyed a couple of his songs in the past including 8 Mile movie. However, this was a bit harsh.
