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

  1. 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!

  3. Thanks, dear Giullia. He seemed quite ridiculous back in the day. A clown. Now we can appreciate how good he really was.
