	Jimmy Durante

		Durante was very impressed with the band and invited them to play at a club called the Alamo in Harlem where Jimmy played piano.
		In 1921, Durante collaborated with an African-American songwriter by the name of Chris Smith on the songs "Let's Agree To Disagree" and "Daddy, Your Mama Is Lonesome For You" which were recorded by Mamie Smith.

	Jimmy Durante - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
		Despite Durante's impressive record of innovation, he was a victim of departmental budget cutbacks shortly after the beginning of the Great Depression, and was forced to find menial work as a jazz pianist, comedian, songwriter, film actor, and radio personality — anything that would pay the bills.
		Guests on his show were often made the target of hilarious practical jokes, such as the episode in which actress Doris Day was given amnesia-inducing drugs, told that she was a human cleavis pin, and inserted into the front torsion bar of a John Deere Farm Tractor.
		Durante is also considered the father of the "schnozzpop" genre, for which he was forced to pay child support in 1966.

	Jimmy Durante - Music Downloads - Online
		By early 1916, Durante was working at the Club Alamo in Harlem and put together a sextet called 'Jimmy Durante's Original Jazz Novelty Band.' It was a noisy little combo to be sure, actually having to hold up signs when they played waltzes and fox trots so their ear-bludgeoned audience would know how to respond.
		Legend has it that Durante was a shy man, unwilling to draw attention to himself because of the merciless teasing he had taken as a child about his looks.
		Recreating Club Durant with Eddie Jackson for television brought Durante to a whole new audience who had never seen him work in a nightclub setting and proved to be enormously successful.

		The songs are great, esp. "A little polish" and "the ballad of jimmy durante", and of course their version of "superman".
		Charles in Charge, Jimmy Durante and Facts of life are probably the best tracks, and even though its about 35 minutes long, I listen to the cd end on end.

		He began playing piano in tough clubs and telling jokes, even though he was "afraid people would laugh at me." But audiences only laughed with Durante as he assaulted the English language and warbled the dizzy songs that made him a star on Broadway, radio, movies and TV.
		Durante's endearing brand of comedy, based on nose jokes and malapropisms delivered with an air of innocence, never failed to please his audiences.
		Since Robbins could not find a single detractor, he concludes that Durante apparently was truly the generous, loyal, lovable guy that he appeared to be, despite an unhappy first marriage.
