LOUIS PRIMA

WONDERLAND BY NIGHT

PRETTY MUSIC PRIMA STYLE VOL.II

1960 12" VINYL RECORD ALBUM
DOT RECORDS No. DLP-3352 ULTRA HIGH FIDELITY


Original 1960 Mono Long Play Recording on the Dot label - Volume II of "Pretty Music - Prima Style."

Louis Prima signed with Dot Records upon leaving Capitol, and part of the deal was he would do an album along the style already well-established there by Billy Vaughn [who arranged all ten selections presented here].
This album contains Prima's version of Wonderland By Night, which made it to a respectable #15 Billboard Pop Hot 100 early in 1961. The album also contains American Songbook standards plus several early Rock 'n' Roll hits, including Moonlight in Vermont, I Could Have Danced All Night, Polka Dots and Moonbeams, Goodnight My Love, Twilight Time.
"Here are twelve good examples of popular classics that Louis has imbued with his own vitality and with the strong, honest emotion that's bound to result when a top jazz musician takes on a great ballad." [...from the liner notes].
