You gotta admire a man that looked like him, he made a great career, sang great songs with pathos and humour, had his own tv show, my god can you imagine this happening today?, what’s happened to us,?, the more we progress the more we fall behind.
Jimmy and his second wife adopted their daughter CeCe in 1961 so he was about 67 years old. During the adoption proceedings, someone raised an objection based upon Jimmy's age at the time. Supposedly, the judge said: "Mr. Durante, I've heard you sing "Young at Heart" and I believe you. Adoption granted." Love this true story and wanted to share it.
How different from today's "entertainers"...no fancy props, no fancy lights, no cacophony of any kind. This marks the genius of a truly great entertainer. Thank you.
I consider myself lucky 🍀 and blessed to have experience hearing and seeing some of the best people in that era to hear their music 🎼. They were great 😊 musicians. The music was really brilliant and beautiful.😊
We concluded my mom's funeral service with this video today - she was 107 when she passed away Dec 26th, 2014. The lyrics fit perfectly except she bested Jimmy's "one hundred and five" by two more years. Helen Williams of Gower, MO. Born October 26, 1907. Introduced a whole lot of great and great grandkids to the old vaudevillian, Jimmy Durante. The video was a perfect fit.
I find Jimmy Durante singing these classic songs totally endearing. These songs will endure as long as people appreciate class and talent. Jimmy was unique.
Even though I wasn't from his times, Mr. Durante seemed to have a certain air of serenity in his being. He was right though, it doesn't matter if you are young or old. It's the liveliness within you that matters.

My Godfather. Sang this at their wedding at the Broadmore this Christmas Day. Paid for it too.

One of the best songs ever made, and by far the best version of it.
A classic never goes out of style
Lot of people love you Jimmy ❤
Thanks Jimmy..... I'm 63 but feeling 19...... and not 39 like good old Jack.....ha ha!

"Goodnight Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are."
You have to smile, when you listen to Jimmy.
Jimmy Durante was one of the greatest entertainers of all time.
I feel it a privilege to have seen some of his TV shows when younger and I always thought he was someone special!
Bless you Jimmy.
Think in whatever direction your mind takes you, and let your heart be the thing that guides you.
I always cry listening to this beautiful song.

His like will never come our way again.
