James Francis Durante was an American comedian, actor, singer, and pianist. His distinctive gravelly speech, Lower East Side accent, comic language-butchery, jazz-influenced songs, and prominent nose helped make him one of America's most familiar and popular personalities of the 1920s through the 1970s.
It's a treat to adapt his songs, routines, and share, here.
They are not, true karaoke, but are karaoke, as I make them before recording them.
Getting clear lyrics to some of them are easy, others, like this one,
requires many plays to get the lyrics, transcribing his recordings.
It's a labor of joy.
