True story…Louis Armstrong was actually Disney’s first choice to voice King Louie, but they decided against it due to the racist implications of having a black man voice an ape character. I think Louis Prima was a better fit anyway, he had a manic energy and is a little bit sarcastic and mean, where Louis Armstrong was just a very nice man
You guys are both wrong… He was an Italian musician and played King Louie in The Jungle Book

Prima is a better actor too especially when it comes to talking bears
