Iconic vocalist Keely Smith dies of heart failure at 89
San Jose Mercury News, Dec 17 2017 12:33 PM
Keely Smith, the iconic jazz and pop vocalist who achieved success as both a solo artist and with her musical partnership with first husband Louis Prima, died of heart failure December 16 in Palm Springs. She was 89.
Smith was a Grammy-winning talent who gained much attention when as a teenager she got the job as the "girl singer" in Prima’s band in 1948. She married Prima in 1953 and achieved success together throughout the entertainment business, starring in stage, television and movies and releasing hit records. They’d win a Grammy in 1959 — the first year the awards were handed out — for best pop vocal performance by a duo or group for their smash That Old Black Magic.
She was born Dorothy Jacqueline Keely in Norfolk, Virginia on March 9, 1928. At 15, she got her first paying job as a vocalist with the Earl Bennett band. After she joined with Prima, the pair delivered such memorable hits as Bei Mir Bist Du Schön and I’ve Got You Under My Skin. She made her solo debut in 1957 with I Wish You Love.
Smith remained active in the music business into the 2000s. She received a Grammy nomination in the traditional pop vocal category for the 2001 album Keely Sings Sinatra. Her final performance came on February 13, 2011, at the Cerritos Performing Arts Center in southern California. She has a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and another on the Walk Of Stars in Palm Springs, where she lived for the past 40 years.
