About this listen

 To many a generations Lena’s father is best known for the best song and scenes in the 1967 animated movie The Jungle Book. Yep, Lena Prima is the daughter of the amazing showman Louis Prima aka “King Louis”. I shared my story of David Lee Roth doing her father’s famous song “Just a Gigolo” and my mother setting me straight that DLR was not the original singer. Lena is a wonderful performer, recording artist and proud of her father’s legacy while carving her own fan base in the world of music. She did the Rock & Roll / Heavy Metal west coast scene for years, there’s some great photos in the notes, and toured full time with cover bands before finding a musical home in her father’s kingdom of New Orleans. So on your next trip to The Big Easy be sure to stop in and see Lena at The Hotel Montleone in the French Quarter. https://youtu.be/gSUXP-5-CuE https://www.lenaprima.com https://www.facebook.com/lenaprimaofficial https://www.instagram.com/lenaprima
