Honest Injun!

Nice interview with 80-year-young Keely Smith, who is playing some shows at the Hotel Nikko in San Francisco this week (tonight thru Saturday). One of her recent albums was a great one called "Keely Sings Sinatra", which included introductions by Frank Sinatra Jr. His Dad, Frank Senior-who gave Keely her nickname "Injun"-in fact got to hear the album before he died and loved it.

And an old clip of her and her ex Louis Prima going nuts:
