I wonder how many of you have heard the name Jimmy Durante. He was an American actor, comedian, musician, and singer. His gravelly voice and murder of the English language made him one of the most popular radio and TV entertainers of his time. He was often referred to as the schnozzola or schnoz due to his large nose. He was a popular radio star, appearing on Eddie Cantor’s show, “The Chase and Sanborn Hour,” and the Armed Forces Radio Network. Jimmy’s version of the song “Smile” is part of the soundtrack to the 2019 film “Joker.” He was also known for breaking into a song to tell a joke.
