Amazing finding this. Actual film footage of George Wright playing organ. I've always wondered if any film existed! Thanks so much for finding these and posting them online.

@tictac21 Thank you. I never would have guessed. Never thought I'd ever see him playing a Hammond organ, either. This is a great video, but I'm suprised that he is not mentioned in the credits. Maybe he wasn't well-known at the time. But, he was a great theater organist--probably the best ever!

@tactac21 My cousin Angelo Presti was my teacher for several years after I outgrew group lessons and inherited one of Angelo's Mussi Constellations. He saw what I was about to see and he tried to keep me busy, learning and practicing before I fell thru the window after seeing girls. He knew all these Nunzio, Magnante, Van Damme guys.Rumor hazzit he's the youngest kid in N.Y. to play ON RADIO (Rhapsody in Blue). What I know (music) iz Angelo Presti foundation. He wasn't an ACTOR . HE PLAYED!!

Such ease, style, presence, grace; the great Magnante.

He's just a brilliant musician . Magnante is the great Carmen Carrozza's idol .

Is that, in fact, a young George Wright playing the Hammond organ? Can anyone confirm, or disprove that?

@RonN448 That is George Wright on the organ.

tactac21, can you tell me where you got these from, we're trying to obtain more, Charles is my brother's great, great, great grandfather!

@princess5257 I got these from a person who only had these three I have on youtube. That person passed away years ago. If there are more videos of Charles I have no source to them. Maybe your brother can locate or find out if there are more videos since he is related to Charles. If there are more out there I would enjoy seeing them

tactac21, where did your recital take place? I accompanied Charlie under similar circumstances as yours. This was in 1953.

In Nazareth,Pa at the high school auditorium.However just to make it clear Magnante played solo. He certainly needed no help from me or any of my accordion teachers students.
