I spent half an hour looking for this guy on the internet. I finally just typed in “old singer with big nose and hat” and found out his name is Jimmy Durante. I’ll never forget his name again.
He began his entertainment career as a ragtime pianist around 1911 billed as "Ragtime Jimmy". He later led one of the earliest jazz bands in New York City.
Many thanks for sharing this little gem! I had a mad crush in Jimmy when I was a kid. Still do. When people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I'd tell them I wanted to be a Durante Girl. That was what he called the chorus of ladies on his tv show. I used to sneak out of bed and hide behind the couch, so I could watch Jimmy. I wasn't fooling anyone. Mama and Daddy knew I was watching Jimmy, and changed my bedtime so I wouldn't miss his show. I miss those days. I miss those people. RIP, all, and thanks so very very very much for the magic, music, and memories.
I’ve never seen this video clip . I’m glad I stumbled across it. Thank you lovely people out there in UA-camLand. Thank You For Posting….. now I’m crying….
It's art that made the mold It's the difference between the big and the small It doesn't have to be witty or smart Just as long as it comes from the heart It doesn't have to be classic or rock Just as long as it comes from the heart Just put more heart into you voice And you'll become the people's choice Just make up your mind from the start That the song's gotta come from the heart Just make up your mind from the start That the song's gotta come from the heart Don't be afraid you'll make your grade Why you can sing as good as Bing That's why I say when you start That the song's gotta come from the heart It doesn't have to be witty or smart Long as it comes from the heart It doesn't have to be classic or rock Long as it comes from the heart I'll give 'em that I'll give 'em this I'll strut away Boy! You can't miss! Just put a star on my chart They won't need this anymore! Cause the song's gonna come from the heart Don't work cheap! On opening nights, your name in lights Why we won't stop, 'til you reach the top We'll order our meal a la carte That's expensive! If the song comes from the heart We'll be tremendous! If the song comes from the heart Can't call up Gable If the song comes from the heart! H-e-a-r-t!
I think that your source material for the lyrics may be incorrect. Whereas the lyrics you found say: "It doesn't have to be classic or 'rock' " I think that Durante sings: "It doesn't have to be classic or art" [I could believe: "... classical art", as well.] I mean, the term "rock & roll" wasn't in use 'till the mid 1950's, & this clip is from 1947.
it's actually "...classic or art..." so that it rhymes with heart. But with his Manhattan accent (art becomes "aht") and running together the "r" from "or" it does come close to sounding like "rock."
The best ever....Only wish they were here today...They are probably turning over in their graves when they see today's ( so called performers ) no talent junk!!
I love how he imitates Durante towards the end.
Jimmy Durante was an amazing talent! No entertainers like him around anymore.
Im 68 and was fortunate to grow up watching both of them. The chemistry between them is so awesome. They're gone now but the music will live on.
Frank Sinatra loved Jimmy and said he was the sweetest man he ever knew
Frank Sinatra + Jimmy Durante =True Love ❤️❤️❤️
I really miss Jimmy Durante....good night Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are!

Jimmy was a genius!
Durance was a kind man great entertainers anyone who has seen him loves him
Adding a smile - two great show biz names doing their thing.
Jimmy Durante was an entertainer before my time.I did not know he could play the piano. He was multi talented.
He began his entertainment career as a ragtime pianist around 1911 billed as "Ragtime Jimmy". He later led one of the earliest jazz bands in New York City.
These two were fans of one another. Frank even changed the lyrics to "How About You?" to include "James" Durante.
I'd like to thank Frosty the Snowman and It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World for giving me a lift to this number.
My two favorite artists together
Many thanks for sharing this little gem!

I love it….. “I could use a longer piano”….. what a HOOT
I’ve never seen this video clip . I’m glad I stumbled across it. Thank you lovely people out there in UA-camLand. Thank You For Posting….. now I’m crying….
Such a lovely musical number, not many put as big of a smile on my face.
Love that time period. Such entertainers!
I saw the last part of this back in 1973 in "That's Entertainment". It's taken me since then to see this song in full! Thanks!
That is True Brotherly Love.
Absolutely delightful!!!! They’re wonderful and so is the movie.
Love this scene...
There will never be another Durante!
Never indeed. Plastic surgeons exist.
Это самый настоящий крутяк!!!!!!
How can this type of art fill a hole that nothing today can ever fill?
Fun Fact: Spike Bulldog's voice and Brooklyn accent was inspired by Durante's.
This 68 year old says thank you!
One of the best videos I've ever seen!
Jimmy & Frank opposites in looks, of course, but both made you want to listen!🎹🎹🎼🎼🎧🎧🎧🎧
Jimmy was adoreable
There's a reason his voice was used twice in the soundtrack "Sleepless in Seattle" - in his own way, he's all about love.
I LOVE this song!!
"You can sing as good as Bing,,,: One of the great movies! "It Happened In Brooklyn"

Can you hear any American accent in those guys' Russian?
Великолепно! Френк раскрывается
It's art that made the mold
It's the difference between the big and the small
It doesn't have to be witty or smart
Just as long as it comes from the heart
It doesn't have to be classic or rock
Just as long as it comes from the heart
Just put more heart into you voice
And you'll become the people's choice
Just make up your mind from the start
That the song's gotta come from the heart
Just make up your mind from the start
That the song's gotta come from the heart
Don't be afraid you'll make your grade
Why you can sing as good as Bing
That's why I say when you start
That the song's gotta come from the heart
It doesn't have to be witty or smart
Long as it comes from the heart
It doesn't have to be classic or rock
Long as it comes from the heart
I'll give 'em that
I'll give 'em this
I'll strut away
Boy! You can't miss!
Just put a star on my chart
They won't need this anymore!
Cause the song's gonna come from the heart
Don't work cheap!
On opening nights, your name in lights
Why we won't stop, 'til you reach the top
We'll order our meal a la carte
That's expensive!
If the song comes from the heart
We'll be tremendous!
If the song comes from the heart
Can't call up Gable
If the song comes from the heart!
H-e-a-r-t!
Thank you!
I think that your source material for the lyrics may be incorrect. Whereas the lyrics you found say:
"It doesn't have to be classic or 'rock' "
I think that Durante sings:
"It doesn't have to be classic or art" [I could believe: "... classical art", as well.]
I mean, the term "rock & roll" wasn't in use 'till the mid 1950's, & this clip is from 1947.
БОЖЕ!!!!ФРЕНКИ ПЕЛ НА РУССКОМ!!!!Я В АУТЕ!!!!
Ain’t that Nothin’!! I love these guys!
JIMMY DURANTE: el feo encantador.
No feo
Ugly?
No way.
Jimmy is adorable!
And one of the sweetest men ever.
I discovered him in a Looney Tunes cartoon...
At :55 Durante sings, ' it doesn't matter if it's classic or rock...' Does he mean rock and roll? Did they have that genre in 1947?
it's actually "...classic or art..." so that it rhymes with heart. But with his Manhattan accent (art becomes "aht") and running together the "r" from "or" it does come close to sounding like "rock."
@@curtlewis2795 Thank you. That was really confusing for a moment.
What's the russian folk song after Ochie Chernie called?
This song called "Korobeiniki"( on eng- bagman), by Vadim Kosin.
большое спасибо за ответ! я искал эта песня! я никогда думал, что я бы найти она.
@@Graf_Ka-Ka это же, вроде, «Эх, распошол!»
The best ever....Only wish they were here today...They are probably turning over in their graves when they see today's ( so called performers ) no talent junk!!
Roger Daltrey put it another way: It’s the singer not the song, that makes the music move along.
That's right
Gentlemen!!!
💖✨💖✨💖✨💖✨💖
This scene must have inspired Seth McFarlane it has total family guy vibes

@@LaVeritoM Эх, распошол))
