Description
The 1958 version of “That Old Black Magic” by Louis Prima and Keely Smith is a high-energy transformation of the 1942 Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer ballad. It is widely considered the all-time classic interpretation of the song.
- The “Wildest” Style: Backed by Sam Butera & The Witnesses, the recording fused Dixieland, jazz, swing, and early rhythm and blues into a fast-paced “rockin'” hit.
Grammy Success: At the 1st Annual Grammy Awards in 1959, the pair won for Best Performance by a Vocal Group or Chorus for this specific track.
