by
Various Artists
The concept behind Eh, Paisano! 100% Italian-American Classics -- namely, 18 tracks of pop standards and Italian songs from the '50s and '60s, sung by crooners like Dean Martin, Louis Prima, and Lou Monte -- may be a little cutesy, but it works surprisingly well. Even with tracks by pop acts like Jay & the Americans and Connie Francis, the album ...

Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 5: Wild Cool & Swingin
(1996)

by
Various Artists
This 18-song compilation is the showbiz-encased, Vegas-ized school of late-'50s and early-'60s pop vocals. The emphasis is certainly more on the "cool" than the wild and swinging; if it ever breaks out a sweat, there will be a martini-dipped silk handkerchief on hand to wipe it away. You get selections from Rat Packers (Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, ...

Joining the Louis Prima band at the age of 16, Keely Smith's main role was to be the foil for Prima's often loony antics on recordings and at live performances, like on their big hit "That Old Black Magic." The result was that she was given little opportunity to sing ballads. That ended when she and Prima signed on with Capitol Records, which had ...
