Timeline
She was still performing to appreciative audiences. Her run of performances at Feinstein's in Manhattan played to excellent reviews from the news media and standing ovations from her audiences. [May 2004]
She was awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Recording at 7080 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California on September 22, 1998.
Prima died in a nursing home in New Orleans on August 24, 1978 after being in a coma for several years.
In 1965, she married Jimmy Bowen, a record producer and they were later divorced. She currently lives in Nevada and makes appearances in the Las Vegas area.
Between her marriages to Louis Prima and Jimmy Bowen, Keely was Indy racing champion A.J. Foyt's girlfriend and appeared at the 1964 Indy 500 with him.
In 1961, Keely filed for divorce citing extreme mental cruelty.
Recorded many successful duets with Louis Prima, their best-known hit being "That Ol' Black Magic", which was a top-20 hit (1958). They also had hits with "I've Got You Under My Skin" and "Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen", which was also a hit for The Andrews Sisters (1937).
They were subsequently married on July 13, 1953 and issued two daughters, Toni Prima and Luanne Prima. Keely was Prima's fourth wife. For many years, they appeared together in Las Vegas with bandleader Sam Butera and made "that old black magic" a standard.
She and husband Louis Prima were the toast of Las Vegas in the 1950s. She was the sultry, sexy singer who played "straight man" to her husband's wild antics--years before Sonny & Cher did the same thing in their concerts and television shows.
In 1948, Prima appeared at the surf club in Virginia looking for a singer. Keely auditioned and was selected and hit the road at 18-years-old.
In 1947, she was on a vacation trip to New York City where the heat became oppressive. The family decided to go to Atlantic City, N. J. instead. Keely went to the Steel Pier where Louis Prima was appearing.
Keely Smith was born March 9, 1928 in Norfolk, VA. After her parents divorced and her mother remarried Jesse Smith when she was nine years old, she changed her name to Keely Smith after she joined Louis Prima and his band. Her family had a tough time and her three brothers and her took in laundry to make ends meet.
