Keely Smith has passed on. She had a long solo career after an eventful career with singing partner and husband Louis Prima. I became aware of her through her spouse but admired her ability to overcome life's vicissitudes and continue her art.

Keely Smith seemed ageless.
She had a sound like Eydie Gormé whose partnership with Steve Lawrence was lifelong.

Louis Prima in fact was many times married, but there was only one Keely Smith.

I also remember her in the movie Thunder Road opposite Robert Mitchum. She was a great blues singer.
