Lou Monte

**Louis Scaglione**, bedre kjent som **Lou Monte** (født 2. april 1917 i New York, død 12. juni 1989 i Florida) var en italiensk-amerikansk sanger som var mest kjent for en rekke bestselgende plater som han spilte inn for plateselskapene RCA Victor og Reprise Records i slutten av 1950-årene.   

Monte har spilt inn flere hundrevis av singler, deriblant er han kjent for singelen *[[Pepino the Italian Mouse]]*, *"Shaddap Your Face"* og ikke minst singelen *"Jealous of You"* som han debturte i 1953.
