i just got off the phone with gia prima, wife of the late louis prima. i interviewed her for an upcoming edition of divaville that will air thursday, may 27.
she was a pure delight. gia is in her 60s and now manages louis' estate full-time, including licensing his songs for commercials and movies, and issuing DVDs, books and CDs of louis' life and music.
as part of our chat, she told a few funny stories about the stage antics that went on in her performing life (she was also louis' singing partner after he & keely smith split) and excitedly talked about their children, who are now doing a lounge act in vegas.
the interview, when it airs next week, will be accompanied by a big CD giveaway. we'll have 9 recently-reissued albums for divaville listeners to win.
so, like, mark this in your calendars, ok?
