Couldn't have picked a better song for this scene in this great movie.

This scene still gives me chills; I was so enchanted by the use of Jerry Vale's song. The Italian Gangsters seemed, for a short time, like compassionate, loving human beings in this scene, so moved by the music. An amazing contrast to all their previous threats and killings. I watched this film so many times.

I love how Henry is totally mesmerized by Jerry Vale.. just like I would be if I could have heard this song in person...

It's a wonderful thing when a great movie introduces you to a beautiful song

The voice of Vale that can tame even the wild beasts.

Even rock fans can hear and feel the beauty in this ballad.

Saturday night was for wives, but Friday night at the Copa was for the girlfriends.

Sinartra said Jerry Vale had one of the best voices he’d heard, got that right Frank.!!!

Rest in peace Ray, your legacy will forever goes on with this masterpiece.

It is incredible to see these gangsters and molls enchanted to their seats as they listen to this song.

Rest In Peace, Ray Liotta...

Scorsese is a genius, to have Vale sing here. What a moment in time.

My favorite scene. Love how they're quietly sitting, almost mesmerized by the ballad. Makes me feel nostalgic for memories I never experienced.

...Every time I hear this song, it brings tears to my eyes. Even Joe Pesci was brought to silence when hearing this lovely ballad.

Jerry Vale had and still has me in a trance like the gangsters here. THAT VOICE THO

The Irishman final song of the soundtrack.

Jerry Vale. What a voice, and what a way to sell a song to his audience...

Marty has an impeccable taste when using music in his films.

What a beautiful song, huh? What a voice! And I’m a guy that listens to all music, Zeppelin, Ozzy, Techno, Country ect ect.

listening to this song I just fell in love with my wife all over again. twenty three years with her.

so many great scenes in Goodfellas. almost everyone i know enjoyed that movie.

Jerry Vale was born Gennaro Louis Vitaliano in the Bronx, New York, to Italian immigrant parents, and grew up in the Wakefield section of the Bronx which at the time was composed mainly of Italian-American families. In high school, to earn money, Vale took a job shining shoes in a barbershop, singing while he worked. His boss, Vito Veneziano, liked the sound so well that he paid for music lessons for the boy. Vale started singing in high school musicals and at a local nightclub. Still a teenager, he left school to work in a factory as an oiler alongside his father. Vale's early nightclub performances led to additional shows in the early 1950s, including one lasting for three years at the Enchanted Room, a club in Yonkers, New York. When Paul Insetta (road manager for singer Guy Mitchell and hit songwriter) heard him there, he signed him to a management contract and further coached him. Insetta arranged for Vale to record some demonstration records of songs he'd written, and he brought them to Columbia Records. Guy Mitchell introduced Vale to Mitch Miller, then head of A&R at Columbia Records. Vale signed a recording contract, with Insetta as his manager for many years to come.

This short scene here was my in my opinion is the most important and yet most unnoticed one. It showed a humane side of these blood thirsty butchers. That even no matter how gory the life was, there was still some ability to appreciate beautiful things in life.

I have a lot of Jerry Vales music. Beautiful songs, beautiful voice

I like how Henry is mesmerized by this performance. You can tell in his face that he is resonating with the meaning of this song about being in denial of his lust for other women.

This scene and this song still makes me tear up. This is some real shit. The passion in Jerry Vale plus the expressions of the viewers. The way the camera pans from behind. One of the best scenes in any movie. The song absolutely captures and makes the moment in this movie. And for those who actually dissect what the song says. Wow, can’t we all relate. Thank You Jerry.

Like "The Wizard of Oz" (1939), "Gone With The Wind" (1939), "The Godfather" (1972), Goodfellas from 1990 is a Movie that People still Watching and Talking About Decades & Decades Later.

What a Beautiful Song Jerry Valle Performance is spectular Amazing Amazing.

RIP RAY LOTTA

Jerry Is A Legend. Such A Beautiful Song.

Rest well Ray , thanks for those great moment

This guy had one of the best tenor voices ever , - his voice along with the mesmerized expressions on the peoples faces makes this one of the best scenes in the movie !!!

The mobsters and all their power look on in utter veneration towards the stage as if some Italian angel descended from the heavens to sing songs of love and heartbreak

Thank for the beauty of you and your voice, r.i.p.

"Saturday night was for wives, but Friday night at the Copa was always for the girlfriends."

I watched this the other day and can’t get this song out of my head. So mesmerising

RIP Ray

I LOVE this song, I LOVE this movie, I LOVE this scene....

Bro the soundtrack choices in general were EPIC! But yes this one and the use of CREAM with the ISO on DeNiro was mind blowing. Honestly it still hits me this day and I’m 54 y’all and was in college when this dropped 😂.I don’t even want to talk if seeing with others like my ppls you feel me.

Came here right from The Irishman, damn they look so young!

Does anyone know if there are any clubs like this still? I'm dying to go to one

This is the best scene in Goodfellas, in my opinion. All of the Goodfellas are mesmerized , as they should be. Jerry Vale had the ability to mesmerize even the toughest of hoodlums. After all they are Goodfellas. And Goodfellas all had hearts deep down inside them.

If you enjoy this be sure to listen to him sing, "I'm Yours". Classic!

i wonder if "its too late for running" moment has Tommy in the frame for a reason

A vastly underrated scene in the annals of movie making.....

That scene and that music is just incredible

1990. The year of the cinema. Movies right and left going click, click, click! One box office hit after another. And this film was definitely one of them. A Martin Scorsese classic!

Its sad the fact that we are not going to have this type of movies anymore

The voice is only matched by the libretto and instrumental. Magical.

I really like this song from the movie, thanks for the upload, Satinder!

“i understand what you said, the guy is talented...” goes by him and speechless

ESA IMAGEN DE UN PRIMER PALNO EN SILENCIO ESCUCHANDO A JERRY VALE ESA IMAGEN A CAMARA LENTA DE LO MEJOR DEL CINE D ELA HISTORIA DL CINE

I might try to do this song someday at a Karaoke venue. While i know I do not have the exact smooth, syrupy voice of the late great Jerry Vale, I think I can pull this off!

I wonder if a real live woman who never heard this could have the heart to appreciate the beauty of sentiment in this song.

Love ❤️ that man! 💗❤️💓💋🇨🇦

Rest in peace..great jerry vale...are my wishes .from México ....

love this song

Love em or hate em. Goodfellas is one of the the best movies ever made.

Just leave it at that, he’s very talented

great great voice

The velvety pipes of Jerry Vole- zootopia reference to jerry vale, one of Mr.Big's friends.

BTW Jerry Vale was a hood superstar and very beloved. I remember the old timers always talking about him being a good kid!

You can tell that the actors were actually moved by this amazing song from Mr. Vale. Those facial expressions weren't 'acting'.....

this song shows the good life in the mob, I know I worked in a restaurant like this at one time. Great scene with Vale singing and these guys in awe of him.

The actress ( Gina Mastrogiacomo) who played Henry Hill's mistress, died in 2001. She was only 40.

Watched Goodfellas today for the first time Its great!

I was introduced to Jerry after jr high school class via afternoon TV, MIKE DOUGAS SHOW..truly a 1sr class performer!

This song hits everyone who has loved and lost. we have lived this song, and for a short time, in this movie, we are lead to believe these monsters who kill for a living, are human. they are not. they only remember when they were.

Love this scene, beautiful song, and all these hardcore gangsters entranced by the beauty of the song

I love this movie so much, i watch it at least once a year

JERRY VALE WAS AMAZING !!!

This is one of the most beautiful scenes in Scorsese's epic film; Italians transfixed by Jerry Vale's lilting voice. What's so incredible is that he knows what these people are made of, inside and out. It's small things like this that separate common film directors from the true Masters.

With this scene: One could make the argument that Henry Hill was genuinely moved by the performance - which informed his decision to bang his Goomar - but in a way that's supported by a sort of romantic idealism. For better or worse: This solidifies SOME humanity in the Henry Hill character. He's certainly nowhere near perfect (or even decent) and a cad for cheating on his wife...but for a man caught in a world of ruthless murderers and psychopaths; he's comes off as looking like the best version of a REAL person that the Mafia could ever hope to produce. Both Carbone and Tommy are largely guarded and unaffected by the moment, as they see it as something that they just have to do to get what they want (i.e.: bang the girls). They only ever need to honestly react to things that incite anger, or give them a reason to defend. With everything else (wives, kids, crew, etc); they can just go through the motions to reach their personal pre-determined goals. Hits are nothing but business, Stealing is Eating, which dovetails into Cheating is Eating...that constant equation is the void, staring back; their persistent engagement in that equation is them, blinking as it stares back. And every blink means more and more of your soul erodes, until the point where the only cathartic release left in your life is trowin' someone a beatin'...

I always laugh a little at the way Tommy gazes at Jerry Vale, I can't figure out if he's mesmerized, or if he's looking at him with a kind of resentful envy, wishing he could have become a beloved star instead of a thug...or maybe a little of both.

amazing mix !

Song so smoothing even Tommy had to shut up and listen

We miss you mr jerry vale....from.mexico...rest in peace ..men

The wonderful Jerry Vale, shadowed by great photography. The faces of the guys steals the show. But Jerry Vale playing himself, sounds great as he always was.

beautiful song great movie

Scorsese's favorite singer, one of mine too,,thanks for the video

Great story, great actors, great soundtrack just a great movie

I wish we could go back to a time where men dressed up like this all the time and the women , these days it's all about social media etc

the reason why this type of music wont come back is because people nowadays have no class

i think this scene is supposed to kinda reinforce the idea that henry isnt a sociopath but tommy is. henry is clearly moved while tommy is thinking about something else

The Strings and Voice hit the spot

R.I.P Legend

Guys it’s not about the song. It’s about living a double life with girlfriends and mistresses

Still one of the best mob movies ever 👌

I remember going out to caberet nights and restaurant nights like this where everyone was dressed up and danced properly into the small hours. Magical and I'm so glad I remember even though I was a boy then

What a voice!

Very Beautiful Thank You

The best heartbreak song

Im true country BUT on the other hand lived this mans voice since the 50s hsve seen him twice and have tsken nice pictures he will be is missed

R I P Jerry Vale .

This song is in the Irishman for those that have seen it

They went to see Jerry Vale performing at the Copa Cabana.

Even these Wise Guys respect Jerry Vale. What a voice.

Since I have seen an in-depth review of Goodfellas, I think this song is to show that Henry is no longer enjoying mafia life as much as he was before.

The soundtrack of this film… 😮 💯

Amazing song, amazing scene
