1959 Nu-Cards Rock & Roll Stars card #39 (Louis Prima). Graded MINT 9 and encapsulated by PSA, the leading grading service. No grading qualifiers. This magnificent series from the twilight of the 1950's is printed in post-card size format: 5.25" x 3.25". That makes the beautiful sepia portraits of the entertainers even more impressive. This may have been Nu-Cards' first effort in the trading card market: it later contributed the "Dinosaurs" series (1960) and the noted "Horror Monsters" series (green and orange, 1961). Centering as depicted- excellent! White borders, good gloss. No problems, just the razor-sharp edges and corners to be expected on a card of this very high grade. A great card from the rocking' 50's! is some information about Louis Prima: "A tireless showman and an underrated musical talent, Louis Prima swung his way to icon status thanks to an irresistible, infectious sound whose appeal translated across generations. Nominally a swing artist, Prima's distinctive sound also encompassed New Orleans-style jazz, boogie-woogie, jump blues, R&B, early rock & roll, and even the occasional Italian tarantella. Regardless of what form his music took, it swung hard and fast, with a rolling, up-tempo shuffle beat that helped some of his earlier material cross over to R&B audiences (his songs were also covered by jump blues artists from time to time). His greatest period of popularity coincided with his marriage to singer Keely Smith, whose coolly sophisticated vocals and detached stage manner made a perfect counterpoint to Prima's boisterous presence: mugging, clowning, and cavorting around the stage with the boundless enthusiasm of a hyperactive boy. Prima's band during this time was anchored by tenor saxophonist Sam Butera, whose grounding in jump blues and New Orleans R&B was a perfect match."
