| I always thought that Sonny and Cher borrowed so much inspiration from their role models Louis Prima and Keely Smith. Keely was also part Cherokee--just like Cher. Keely found amazing success as part of a husband/wife act --just like Cher. Then left her husband and had a successful career on her own--just like Cher. There was a wonderful musical about Louis and Keely in LA. It was sensational. I don't know think it ever made it to NY. Someone needs to write a movie of their lives. They really deserve to be rediscovered and what a great story!! |

| I caught The Cher Show last Tuesday. There was no mention of Keely Smith. I saw Louis & Keely 'Live' at the Sahara in Apr., 2015 at the Royal George in Chicago. I agree with Ann. It was a very entertaining show with excellent performances by Anthony Crivello and Vanessa Claire Stewart as the title characters. |

| Sonny and Cher's act on their old tv show was pretty much stolen from Keeley Smith and Louis Prima. There are clips on-line of Smith and Prima; they were fabulous. Smith had one of the all-time great jazz/American songbook voices as well. | |
