As a black child of the '60's, my parents raised us on Jimmy Durante, Nat King Cole, Flip Wilson, Ed Sullivan, Red Skelton, Laugh-in, Gentle Ben, Wide world of Disney...etc. Things have surely changed since then... as time goes by.

Frosty the Snowman... will never die. Irreplaceable recording . Thanks Jimmy.

I’m 19 year old and this song is compelling beautiful. Thank you for this music.

On a Valentines night, my wife and I decided to stay home and watch Casablanca and Sleepless in Seattle back to back in Laserdiscs. It just so happen that this song is the perfect connection to these two classic films made fifty years apart.

Jimmy Durante is WAY before my time (I was born in 1981), but this is the kind of music that I grew up with and have so much love for. My parents (mainly my dad) ALWAYS listened to (and still do) singers like Jimmy Durante, Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, etc. My dad had a band when I was growing up that played tons of gigs (mainly weddings) and this is the style of music they played, so it's kind of in my blood. I have a very eclectic taste in music and will listen to just about everything (except for country), but nothing makes me feel more nostalgia than hearing singers like Jimmy Durante. This is true comfort music. One of my all-time favorite movie soundtracks is from Sleepless in Seattle because it is LOADED with these guys.

Rag Time Jimmy, like sparkling old wine, aged to perfection! He was one of our best.

I remember sitting on the floor in front of the black and white TV loving Jimmy Durante. It amused my mom how I would not miss that show!

the grand father every one wish they had

I call him the timeless legend.

"Good night. Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are."

Such talent, such beautiful music

I love this man, I’m 58 but I find his songs just so compelling.

Always a distinctly iconic voice. Love it!

What a gift this man had - funny, sentimental or sad he could change our mood at a whim. His songs so beautifully intonated to grab every bit of emotion and he did it so well - I never get tired of listening. Memories from my childhood, on our radio with my family - ever more priceless in later years... Thank you so much Anthony.

Just he’s a showman in entire expression ..... inmortal 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Blessed generation, i miss them so. Entertainment to the Max.

I remember watching this with my parents on Saturday nights all the shows along with Lawrence Welk. This song is golden and should be played forever everywhere. The world needs it.

Unforgettable times❤

Jimmy did a Terrific Job voicing the Narrator in Frosty the Snowman.

The great schnozzle. A son of New York's "Little Italy" like me and a wonderful interpretation of the old classic, that was our wedding song in 1975.

77 years old here, and he still had it!

I’m seventeen, never heard of this man until recently by his track “smile” i felt in love with his kindness, optimism and messages hidden in his music. I’m so happy i recognised his music and i’m so grateful, his songs give me so much comfort i’m gonna cry

Things will never come back the way that era was. We can only watch and listen to the stories told

Jimmy and the beautiful Lennon Sisters. It doesn't get any better.

He is great never forget.

One in a kind only voice that will forever be thank u God for Jimmie 🙏

They were such characters back in the day. Now everyone seems a cookie cut out. So many singers sound the same. I feel like if he was around today, he wouldn’t he given a chance.

Jimmy Durante was and is a treasure.

I remember this show -

This man was a saint ... wonderful

I'm not even gonna lie I'm a filthy millenial but the things Jimmy talks about here are pretty timeless. His intro is still very relevant.

Thanx so much for sharing this little treasure, Anthony! I used to be in love with Jimmy Durante, (still am!) and would sneak out of bed and hide behind the couch and peep out, so I could watch his show. Mama and Daddy knew I was there, and they let me think I was getting away with it. I used to say, when people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, that I wanted to be a Durante Girl, and sing and dance with Jimmy Durante, on his tv show. I was 4 at the time. RIP, darling Jimmy, and thanx so very very much, for the magic, music, and memories.

That Voice, the best!

Thanks a lot - Merci beaucoup

From "Jimmy Durante presents The Lennon Sisters," a short-lived variety series that aired on ABC during the 1969-70 season.

Amazing Jimmy

On a BBC radio broadcast forty years ago I heard of a comment about Durante. No idea who originally said it and it was second hand but I never forgot it. "You could warm your hands on that man". There are such people.

this is pure gold

I cant believe I'm old enough to remember my mom saying "ahhh i loved Jimmy Durante", and I'm 66.

Known for two things: His voice and his nose. Durante was one heck of an entertainer and they are like a diamond in the rough now. Ha-cha-cha-cha...

Don’t think anyone who knew him had anything but love for the guy!

Love this guy's Xmas songs. Hollywood has zero talent these days. Hollywood relies on special effects & auto-tuning, its really pathetic. This guy was Entertaining, period. Love these pretty ladies as well. What a show.

I'm a 90s kid and still love and appreciate this man

Beautiful & Deep.... 😥 💓

America's forever grandpa.

Heyho Anthony, one of the best entertainers and voices of all time! The final canon of the ladies is fantastic. Thank you for providing it. Greets from Germany and stay well ! ^^

There are a lot of people that don't get this and never will.

Fantástico!!

Finally found a solid version of the FULL LYRICS of this song which include Einstein's theory of relativity. Cheers!

great timing

The 1st time I heard this song Bugs Bunny sang it.

xoxo

Could you imagine being a talent to do this man look how trusty is forget about it

HA CHA CHA CHA

Keep your Emma's. I don't listen to you, though listen to Jimmy always.

Jimmy Durante is now part of a coal seam formed by time and moderate pressure, and could be mined out and used to make fuels, lubricants, plastics, otc medicines, the red and green dyes used on old anchovy can labels with the woman on them and even red wall tires and tubes with pasta sauce running through them in a red rubber ball italian sunset you name it.

I feel like the only reason I know this guy is from caricatures of him from 1930's cartoons

The Lennon si

Weren't these the Lennon Sisters?

That's Carlo Gambini. Aka Jimmy durante...

Did Durante ever say “we’ll”?

Ok. I’m curious. What happened with his parking zone?

Gigantic nose 👃

What a shnozzloa!!!!!

Composer Herman Hupfeld, a one-hit wonder

Is his nose real? Or is that a prosthetic?

We know where the men in this video are. But we don't know where the women are. But the women are more important to me.

Was that a young ANN-MARGRET?

Casablanca

I dunno.
