After decades of novelty and comedy recordings, film roles and television work, Jimmy Durante was invited into the studio to record a "serious" album of standards and originals. Durante himself was uncertain about the project, but the resulting album was in every way a success. It was Durante's only album to enter the Top 40, and the title track made Billboard's Top Pop 100. Mixing Durante's utterly unique voice with lush strings and a vocal chorus, September Song is a left-field masterpiece full of wistful and affecting performances. Durante was by no means a technically accomplished vocalist, but he negotiated the sessions with aplomb and created a piece of work very different from, but just as charming as, the comedy that had made him a star.~Greg Adams https://www.allmusic.com/album/september-song-mw0000012171
September Song
Thanks! This 1963 album brings back some wonderful childhood memories. Jimmy Durante was a funny and kind Father/Grandfather character for many people, including me. Cheers!

DeleteThis takes me back a log, long time. Nice to have the memories of Jimmy again. Thanks for the link Giullia.
ReplyDeleteHey Newlyner, glad you liked! Thank you!
DeleteThanks, dear Giullia. He seemed quite ridiculous back in the day. A clown. Now we can appreciate how good he really was.
ReplyDeleteHey Mark, I think so! Thank you as always!
