my mom played jimmy roselli music when we were kids he is/was awesome saw him at westbury he blows you away.......he was so gracious to say hello to my mom when he was on the radio doing an interview it made her century.......he is a true gentleman
@shp056 Of the great Italian American crooners like Bennett, Sinatra, Damone, and Perry Como only Roselli and Vale sang in Italian. Dean Martin tried but his pronunciation was shaky.
11/07/10 NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I HEAR THIS HEAVENLY VOICE, I AM AMAZED WHY JIMMY DID NOT RECEIVE MUCH MORE EXPOSURE THAN HE DID. BUT TO US, HIS DEVOTED FANS, THERE IS NO ONE WHO CAN TAKE HIS PLACE. MAY HE LIVE A LONG AND HEALTHY LIFE IN FLORIDA, AND THEN GO TO SING WITH THE ANGELS A HUNDRED YEARS FROM NOW. roselli

I have never had any of Jimmy's albums. I never really heard any of his songs.But, if what I heard was true about how he turned down the mobs "offer" and in doing so, Jimmy ended up selling his records out the back of his car! If that is true, and I have no doubt that it is,....then GOD BLESS JIMMY! Back in those days the the mafia was everywhere and had more "say so" then the govt. and they were the law! I'm happy to read Jimmy turned out well in life! ....... Romans 8:28.....!!
@44skins I just stumbled across your post of last year. Yes, Jimmy told the "mob" to go jam it. They made him pay. Another Italian American Mario Lanza also turned down the mob's "generous" offer of assistance in his career. He wound up dead instead. They say it was a heart attack but it is believed that the"boys" did him in.
Jimmy resides both IN NJ and Flordia. Jimmy is retied now for a while. He went out on top of his game. Still a great voice. If your a real Italian, you have to listen to JR, as well as all our non-italian friends.
Sinatra was cuter and had blue eyes. At least that's what all the fainting female fans thought. Frank's voice was pretty good too. I love Jimmy Roselli's renditions and am glad I have found some other fans besides me.
You are so fortunate to have him as your great uncle. Is he still entertaining. I believe my dad said he resided in New Jersey. My father, Will Rosenberg, was from Newark, NJ.
me my grandpa and grandma were suppose to go with him to the superbowl but then my grandpa passed away and he couldent and yes he is still entertaining but has bad hearing
sounds much like tony benett but good

Jimmy was the best! Better than Sinatra! He hit all the notes! What an ear he has! Pitch perfect. Love his Italian and english tunes.

ManagerGuy1,
I agree with you. He is absolutely fantastic. Sinatra had all the right breaks not to undermine his talent, but it is true.
Kudos to Mr. Roselli. I have some of his albums in my record collection.
