A sweelt little clip I found on YouTube of the two having a good time performing together:

I have a 45 of Bobby Darin singing You Must Have Been a Beauitful Baby. I used to put it on the victrola and rock to that all the time when I was a kid. I even sang it in his style in a cabaret-style show a few years ago.

You should hear me singing 'Beyond The Sea' or 'Don't Rain On My Parade' at the top of my lungs when I'm under the shower. That's usually the moment when all the warm water stops and a sudden gush of ice-cold water sends me running for cover, screaming all the louder... :D

Great clip, Mario. Durante was one of my favorite comedians when I was a kid.:)

Yes, he was one of the best, no doubt about that. There are a few nice clips with Jimmy on YouTube, and thery're definitely worth to be watched. Entertainment at its best.

Fantastic, Mario! Thanks for posting this. Notice how comfortable Durante is in using his fedora to play with character, moving it all over his head. Darin mostly leaves his alone, unless he is following Durante. Very cool!

Great that you can appreciate that. Sometimes, when I'm...well, call it animated, I like to shift my hat around quite a bit to go along with the situation. Doesn't happen too often, but it does. :D
