It's funny how the word "entertainer" encompasses so many styles and people. It can begin by opening up your mind to something new and different. Jimmy Durante may seem dated, but his ability to make one laugh at even the corniest jokes and be stunned by his piano skill make him immortal to those who open their eyes and hearts. THANX!

I'm not that old and I sure do miss the entertainers from our past.

[Karen Forte]

This man sing with a lot of heart.

[John Upton]

Now and in the future, where are you ever going to find an entertainer like this. This applies to a few other entertainers from the period, such as Jolson etc. All fabulous but forgotten today to make way for what passes as modern music.

This was my dad's favorite entertainer. A great interpretation of the Big Bill Bronzy classic. Hink a dinka do.

Jimmy was just sensational in everything he did.. He was a giant talent.. A giant of a human being with a giant heart.. I wish we had his kind today but we don't unfortuantely.. He is wonderful in this video. Talking about love and also singing this wonderful wonderful song..

Oh, I version I heard and was looking for was done in the 50's. I could only barely read who recorded it, but it seemed to say something like Valentines or The Velestines...? If someone knows, please send me the groups name. I'm arodgers@wowway.com (My name is Annie).

I was looking for this song; but in another version. I have listened to it several times now and am in tears.

I hope some young student makes it his career to restore these old videos to their original quality. You young kids, Jimmy came through very clear in the old B/W movies and tv. Only the tape age has made it fuzzy. Jimmy deserves better but I know it is hard work. Let's hope Jimmy is around forever as each generation of kids with a big snozola see Jimmy Durante and feel a little better about it. That he is 100% perfect as a role model for them is his enduring legacy.
