Louis Prima & Keely Smith Just a Gigolo/I Ain't Go Nobody May 17, 1959

Before David Lee Roth stole it away from him for pretty much all time, jazz singer Louis Prima was the main proprietor of the "Just a Gigolo" / "I Ain't Got Nobody" medley. His bouncy — mostly literally so — sugar-rush performance of the song combo here makes Roth's admiration for it imminently understandable, though he never had a singing or comedic foil like wife Keely Smith, who Aubrey Plazas her way through Prima's performance, refusing to be impressed by any of his vocal scatting or cool-cat shuffling. Kudos to that trombonist, too, it's hard to sound good on one of those things while can-can-ing.
