Smith and Prima's act was a mainstay of the Las Vegas lounge scene for much of the 1950s. -- Wikipedia
Louis Prima, working with
The effervescent Keely Smith,
Entertained Las Vegas throngs
With energetic swinging songs,
As ambiance for drinks and shots
At glitzy sixties Vegas boîtes.

Samuel Barber (9 March 1910 – 23 January 1981) was an American composer in all the major classical genres.
The Works of Barber
His oeuvre became a collection
Of works that retain our affection
By staying in bounds
Of traditional sounds
And maintaining a tonal connection.
