fact
2009 - Sam Butera, a tenor saxophone player and a native of New Orleans, Louisiana passed away on this day at age 81. He is best known for his collaborations with Louis Prima. He began playing in his brothers club in New Orleans, the 500 Club, for four years. He then went to Vegas to back Louis Prima. On opening night in 1956, Prima asked Butera before a live audience what the name of his band was. Butera responded extemporaneously, "The Witnesses,". He was the bandleader of The Witnesses for the next twenty years. During that time, he performed with Louis Prima and/or Keely Smith on such classics as "That Old Black Magic," "Dig That Crazy Chick," "Just a Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody," "Come on-a My House," and "I Wan'na Be Like You".
