#32. Wildest - Louis Prima

32. Wildest (1957) - Louis Prima 80/100. This was one of those albums where I knew all of the songs before I even heard a single note.  I just never knew who sang them.  Between the late 90's brief swing revival, David Lee Roth, and every other movie since the 70's - these songs are pretty damn mainstream.  It was good.  Kind of nice to hear it all together instead of as background music where the film's main characters are talking over the tunes.  I especially liked the instrumentals like Body and Soul and Night Train.  Not necessarily my cup of tea but a nice change of pace. Listened - 12/1/10
Favorite Tracks: Just a Gigolo/I Ain't got Nobody, Body and Soul, Oh Marie, Night Train
