When Jimmy Durante died somebody commented, "You could warm your hands on that man". What a magnificent obituary!

Many years ago when this song came on the radio I would jump on my Grandad's knee because he would gently whistle along with this song and smile at my Nana! Back then I did not understand the September song but today I find myself humming it a lot and smiling at my husband Mike because this year we are celebrating our Golden Wedding and we are now spending our precious days together.

Jimmy Durante was one of the most kind and charitable entertainers of all time. He used to play benefits for children and donate all his earnings to the causes. A foundation was named after him, the motto was 'Do it for da kids'. Which is what Jimmy always said when he would donate his pay. Just a wonderful human being.

I remember the end of his show as he walked through each spotlight and it going off with at the end his famous saying of, "Good night, Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are." The feeling he put behind those words affected me as a young teenager. This song was one of my favorites growing up. I guess in the back of my mind I knew that life had its seasons.

This is an excerpt from one of his filmed "TEXACO STAR THEATER" programs in the summer of 1955. Usually, Jimmy appeared live on TV, but he was to play Las Vegas that summer, and Texaco wanted him on during the summer (with alternate host Donald O'Connor), so Jimmy arranged to film six episodes at Desilu that spring {through his old friend Desi Arnaz}.

Could not agree more. Try "Bluebird of Hapiness" for a real tear jerker from Jimmy. Returning to this track it does suffer a bit from that infuriating fashionable 1940's/50's background chorus stuff. Finally, for a lovely little piece of business, watch "One Room Home" performed later in his career and rewarded with a standing ovation. It is priceless.
