Just A Gigolo / I Ain't Got Nobody —
Louis Prima (1956)

"Just A Gigolo” was written by Irving Caesar in 1929 and "I Ain't Got Nobody" was written by Roger Graham and music by Spencer Williams in 1915. Individually, the songs were recorded many times before Louis Prima combined the two for his 1956 Las Vegas stage show. The recording jump-started his career and became his signature number. A popular MTV video helped David Lee Roth chart it at #12 in 1985.
