It had vintage footage of performances with him, Sam Butera, Keeley Smith, and even one of his other wives that sang with the band (whose name escapes me now.)
The documentary was followed by the feature film "Hey Girl, Hey Boy" starring Louis, Sam, and Keeley. Because it's on cable, I assume that it will be repeated several times this month, so I strongly suggest to anyone who is a Louis Prima fan to research when it will be replayed.
Oh ya, I also recorded it :) If anyone is interested in borrowing my tape, let me know!
