Louis Prima, born on December 7, 1910, was an American jazz singer, songwriter, and trumpeter. He is best known for his energetic and humorous performances, as well as his unique fusion of jazz, swing, and rhythm and blues. Prima's music was often characterized by lively arrangements, catchy melodies, and his distinctive gravelly voice. One of Prima's most famous songs is "Just a Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody," which became a major hit in the 1950s. This song showcases Prima's playful style and his talent for scat singing. His version of "Sing, Sing, Sing" also gained popularity and became one of his signature songs.
Some 200 or so years later, Halloween was brought to North America, when hundreds of thousands of Irish fled the potato famine. In Gaelic, its name is Samhain. It's the time when the veil between the living and our ancestors is lifted.
Her excuse for her actions is zero worth to justify anything, and anything in her character is unreasonable at all or petty, while they get bad smell from the cleanest children that tortures them, she could ve tried another way to cure themselves rather than kill anything that exists. Her act of not incinerating the second idiot witch who gave an stupid suggestion during her conference unlike the one she fried previously looks like a disqualifying factor, but this is not the case, as it can be implied that the Grand High Witch just didn t kill her possibly because the witch could still be useful for her plans, she didn t consider her worth of killing or her incineration power takes time to recharge.
His version of "Sing, Sing, Sing" also gained popularity and became one of his signature songs. Prima's career spanned several decades, and he achieved success both as a solo artist and as a bandleader. He worked with various musicians throughout his career, including his wife, Keely Smith, who often performed as a duet partner.
Kathryn Hahn's Agnes in WandaVision Was Marvel Villain Agatha Harkness All Along
WandaVision isn't your typical Marvel Cinematic Universe endeavor. The universe has typically stayed, for the most part, in the acti0n realm: movies like Iron Man or Avengers: Infinity War are the meat and potatoes of the massive franchise. But movies like Captain America: The Winter Soldier start to veer toward a spy thriller. The upcoming Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is said to have heavy horror influences. And WandaVision, really, has been the first big psychological mystery of the MCU. And what's a mystery without a twist villain?
Throughout the entirety of WandaVision, there's been one consistent piece outside of Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany), and that's been their nosy neighbor Agnes, played wonderfully by Kathryn Hahn and always showing up, for better or for worse, at just the nick of time. Such a nick of time, in fact, that it seemed almost fishy. And by Episode 7, titled "Breaking The Fourth Wall," we finally got official confirmation why: "Agnes" is really Agatha Harkness, another witch who's been orchestrating all of the Westview trouble all along. (Agatha is a longtime Marvel Comics character, first appearing in 1970)
The big reveal is a stunner: after Monica makes her way back into The Hex, a brief confrontation seems to finally be getting her somewhere with Wanda. Until we see Agnes looking out her window and eager to get Wanda out of there. She brings Wanda into her house, and directs Wanda down into the basement to look for Tommy and Billy. She looks around down there for a bit, but finds nothing other than a scary-looking enchanted book, and a bunny in a cage. Wanda turns around and Agnes is there looking quite sinister. She confirms: Wanda's not the only one there with magical powers, and sends some sort of spell on her.
Marvel StudiosA montage then plays, showing us all the ways that Agnes has been manipulating reality up to this point, through all the sitcom eras we've seen so far. It was Agatha All Along, as yet another wildly catchy theme song confirms. It was Agatha causing trouble in the first episode. It was Agatha getting in Herb's head when he was sawing through brick. It was Agatha entirely manipulating our other-universe Pietro. Hell, Agatha was totally hamming it up when she was pretending to be in a trance talking to Vision. It was even her behind the camera for the episode's Modern Family fourth-wall break. She's been 100% in control all along.
Marvel StudiosMaybe the biggest question now is what does Agnes want? She put Wanda under some sort of hex. She also has a pet bunny, which. could be someone? Could Doctor Strange have taken her on at some point prior to Westview and gotten transformed into a pet Bunny? Oh Jeez. Snap out of it, Wanda!
The reveal was, to put it simply, great. WandaVision didn't have a clear villain at the start—Wanda seemed to have people in a trance, but that's our hero. We knew that. We weren't going to go switcheroo there. And in the outside world, yes, SWORD Director Tyler Hayward is a pest. But that's not a main villain. Agatha is here, and Agatha is ready to cause some ruckus the rest of the way.

Reviews for "Capturing the Essence of the Swing Era: The Magic of Louis Prima's Old Black Magic"
1. Jane - 2 stars - I had high hopes for "Old Blackn Magic Louis Prima," but I was left disappointed. The album lacks the energy and excitement that I associate with Louis Prima's music. The arrangements are uninspiring, and Prima's voice sounds tired and strained. I would recommend exploring his other albums instead of wasting time on this one.
2. Mark - 1 star - "Old Blackn Magic Louis Prima" was a letdown for me. The songs on the album all blend together and lack distinction. I was hoping for more of Prima's signature jazz and swing style, but this album felt more like background music at a cheesy lounge. It's definitely not what I was expecting from a legendary artist like Louis Prima.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - I can't say I was impressed with "Old Blackn Magic Louis Prima". The album lacks the charm and charisma that Prima is known for. The songs feel monotonous and repetitive, and the production quality is mediocre at best. It's a shame because I had high hopes for this album, but it fell short of my expectations. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone wanting to experience Prima's true talent and energy.
