Boyd Raeburn

Documentary about the mid-20th century Vegas bandleader and trumpeter Louis Prima, who showed the world what a rock show could be.

This Columbia "Thrills of Music" short (production number 6952) headlines the Boyd Raeburn Orchestra, who lead off playing "Temptation." Band vocalist Ginny Powell sings "St. Louis Blues" and Teddy Walters sings the Nat 'King' Cole Hit Parade song "Ballerina." Dancer Nancy Doran provides the ballet background for the last song.
