in The Year Book I mention hearing Jimmy Durante in Las Vegas. & my one memory of his act was his singing of Kurt Weill's "September Song." I just found this which was filmd the same year I heard him sing it:

Jimmy Durante (1893-1980)
tonite I saw a new tv commercial featuring the singing voice of Jimmy Durante. in all these years since his death his singing has been used again & again. the only time I saw him perform I remember tearing up when he sang "September Song." it's wonderful to know that he's still in demand.
here's a picture he signd for me in 1958. it hangs on the star wall in my guest bathroom.
after turning off the set I checkd my e-mail. & there from Billy was a video of Sinatra warbling "Send in the Clowns" to clips of the great comedians of the last century. there were two moments of Durante.
that same Billy took this picture of me putting my nose to Durante's tombstone.
