More Info:

Prima, who died in 1978, was the eternal game-changer. In his early years, he led various jazz outfits including the highly rated New Orleans Gang. A star of not only music, but also films - Prima appeared in several shorts and full-blown Hollywood productions during the '30s. In 1967 he provided the voice for King Louie, the orang-utan in Disney's The Jungle Book, for which many people remember Prima today. But as this essential double-album confirms, long before that he made great, humour-instilled, often exciting sounds that left audiences feeling happy. Featured here are his all his very best and most loved songs.
