I agree.Page No. 6 Now in 1965, a new page is being written in the history of America's most spectacular entertainment package with the introduction of the new singing sensation Gia Maione. At Hotel Sahara in Las Vegas in June 1962, the boards echoed with the most exciting Louis Prima show ever presented* Still with Louis and giving new interpretation to the "Wildest" is Sam Butera and the Witnesses featuring Lou Sino, Roily Dee, Jimmy Vincent and Morgan Thomas. Louis is currently living in a beautiful new home on 20 acres in Las Vegas. Like the man himself, the home expresses perfection, elegance, style and taste. Louis tries to relax here, when the opportunity affords it, with his host of friends, his golf clubs, and his music. Louis has entered a new venture named Prima Magnagroove Records in association with Hanna-Barbera Records, and has gone into the record business in a big way. The reaction has been terrific and already he has compiled a special distributor list from all over the world. Prima just completed a recording studio and installed the finest recording equipment available to man. Scheduled for release is an album entitled "Prima Show In The Casbar", another album "Thinking Mans Sax" with Sam Butera, Gia Maione*s first album entitled "This Is Gia," Louis Prima and Gia Maione's first album entitled "Louis & Gia", a live show album from the stage of Harrah's famous club in Lake Tahoe, and "The Golden Hits of Louis Prima." Louis has earned the right to relax. But it looks as though 1966 will not be the year for it. As Louis himself has said, "In fact, I feel our biggest year is coming yet. In 'Doubly1 reminding myself, our first really smash year was '44, then '55, Now, in *66 coming up, Well........." I ( + Musical Trends-*?╟÷)
