—————————————————–
I’ve been looking Glenn Miller videos and noticed that all of them have low quality, so I decided to upload this nice version of the song.

Glenn Miller was the band leader’s band leader. So many hits and such an influence on a whole generation. And the next, too, as evidenced by my love for his work and it showing up above these lines.

Please enjoy this classic wonder.

One of Dean Martin’s greatest hits, Mambo Italiano.

Lyrics:

(A boy went back to Napoli because he missed the scenery)
(The native dances and the charming songs)
(But wait a minute something’s wrong)
(’cause now it’s)
Hey mambo, mambo Italiano hey hey mambo mambo Italiano
Go go go you mixed up Siciliano
All you Calabrese do the mambo like-a crazy with the
Hey mambo don’t wanna tarantella
Hey mambo no more mozzarella
Hey mambo mambo Italiano try an enchilada with a fish baccala
Hey goomba I love how you dance the rumba
But take some advice paisano learn-a how to mambo
If you’re gonna be a square you ain’t-a gonna go anywhere
Hey mambo mambo Italiano hey hey mambo mambo Italiano
Go go Joe shake like a Giavanna
E lo che se dice you get happy in the pizza when you
Mambo Italiano

Hey chadrool you don’t-a have to go to school
Just make it with a big bambino
It’s like vino
Kid you good-a looking but you don’t know what’s-a cooking ’til you
Hey mambo mambo Italiano
Hey hey mambo mambo Italiano
Ho ho ho you mixed up Siciliano
E lo che se dice you get happy in the pizza when you
Mambo Italiano

Dino! Oh, man, do I love this… you have no idea.

It’s from when I was a little boy. It’s … in me … you dig? I mean, it’s freakin’ perfect.

This is here several times as well, just like La Rosa in the previous post.

Again, it’s simply … in me.

Julius La Rosa – Eh, Cumpari

Michael McKenna
Published on Mar 21, 2015

Julius La Rosa was discovered by Arthur Godfrey, who recognized the handsome young man’s vocal talents and charisma. As a consequence, Julius became one of Arthur Godfrey’s performing TV “family”, appearing on his television and radio shows, and recording for Columbia Records. Julius became a national celebrity – and it was a huge break for the boy which launched his career. However, Mr. Godfrey was a strict taskmaster and ruled over his performing family with a close, watchful eye. If any of his performers missed a rehearsal, Arthur would certainly let them know about it.

I am not certain of the specific details, but I believe that Julius was dating one of the singing McGuire Sisters – who were also then featured on Godfrey’s shows – and for some reason, Arthur disapproved of this. To make matters worse, Julius was at one point receiving more fan mail than Arthur himself! Julius’ “fall from grace” culminated in Arthur Godfrey actually firing him on the air, stating that the song Julius sang on that particular day was his “swan song” – although the boy did not understand what that meant when Arthur stated it on the air.

Arthur Godfrey also had a long-time musical arranger and conductor, Archie Bleyer. After Julius’ dismissal, Archie also disassociated himself from Mr. Godfrey by leaving his organization in 1952 to form a new record company – Cadence Records. One of the premier artists for the new label was Julius La Rosa. (Archie Bleyer soon had additional, huge success with The Chordettes, The Everly Brothers, Andy Williams and Johnny Tillotson on his label.) This is probably the first hit on Cadence – the Italian novelty song “Eh, Cumpari” – sung with a twinkle and a smile by Julius La Rosa.

The song is a cumulative song, in which each verse contains all of the previous verses as well. It is sung in Sicilian and is about the sounds of musical instruments.

A rough translation reads as follows:
Hey buddy, [music] is playing.
What is playing?
The whistle.
And what does it sound like—the whistle?
[vocalized instrument sound] the whistle, [nonsense rhythm words]
etc.
u friscalettu = whistle [small flute]
u saxofona = saxophone
u mandulinu = mandolin
u viulinu = violin
la trumbetta = trumpet
la trombona = trombone

Adapted by Julius La Rosa and Archie Bleyer. The song reached #1 on the Cash Box charts, and #2 on Billboard in 1953.

Oh wow how I’d love a copy of the record that’s pictured there!

This song was in full swing when I was born and hence I have heard it my entire life. I love it. If you search it here you’ll find it posted a few times. I will never tire of it and sometimes sing it along with Julius. And hey, it’s Sicilian, right next door to my wonderful Calabrese ancestors. It gets no better than that.

If I leave a carcass they better play this at my funeral.

What a wonderfully beautiful song by a fun, fabulous guy.

Savor…!

Nat King Cole – Mona Lisa

Roy Gardnerra
Published on Sep 23, 2011

“Mona Lisa” is a song written by Ray Evans and Jay Livingston for the Paramount Pictures film Captain Carey, U.S.A. (1950). It won the Academy Award for Best Original Song for 1950. The arrangement was by Nelson Riddle and the orchestral backing was played by Les Baxter and his Orchestra. The soundtrack version by Nat King Cole spent eight weeks at number one in the Billboard singles chart in 1950. Also, Cole’s version of the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1992. The Billboard sales charts of 1950 also showed significant sales on versions by Dennis Day and Harry James. In 1986, it was used as the theme to the British film Mona Lisa. An uncredited version of Mona Lisa plays in the background of one scene in Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window (1954). The song was used in the wedding scene of the NBC mini-series, Witness to the Mob, in 1998. Various artists, including Elvis Presley, Willie Nelson, Art Lund, Shakin’ Stevens, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, the Neville Brothers, and Nat King Cole’s daughter Natalie Cole, have released cover versions of this song. Bruddah Iz (Israel Kamakawiwo’ole) also covered the song on the album Alone in IZ World. Harry Connick, Jr. included the song on his 2009 album, Your Songs. A rockabilly version of “Mona Lisa” (b/w/ “Foolish One”) was released by Carl Mann on Phillips International Records (#3539) in March 1959 and reached number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100. Conway Twitty recorded a version of “Mona Lisa” in February 1959, but planned to release it only as an album cut (on an EP and an LP by MGM Records). Nevertheless, it peaked at #5 in the UK Singles Chart in that year.[1] Sam Phillips signed Carl Mann to record his version of the song after the Twitty version began getting radio play in early 1959[4]. This was the most successful single in Mann’s career. The melody is slightly different, and the lyrics are also mostly the same as in the original version by Nat King Cole, though a few more phrases are added in that elaborate more on the girl he likes. The singer Don Cherry recorded a version backed by the Victor Young Orchestra which reached number seven in 1952. In 1961, this song was covered by Hong Kong female singer Kong Ling (江玲), on her LP album Off-Beat Cha Cha with the local Diamond Records. (extract from Wikipedia 2011)

This beautiful man with his beautiful voice was a major influence on my youthful mind and soul and I love him to this day. I am grateful to have been born at a time coinciding with his career and am happy to share it with you now. I love his contemporaries, too, but the sweet, lilting tones of this guy’s voice are simply unparalleled.

Eight weeks at number one. That’s weeks! Madonne.

Published on Jun 27, 2018

The video which features lookalikes for Donald Trump, Kim Jong Un, Hillary Clinton, Stormy Daniels, Mark Zuckerberg, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner is a satire on the news of the past 12 months. It features the US President cavorting with Miss Universe contestants, playing poker with Hilary and exchanging briefcases of classified information with the Russian pop star whilst a pleased Kim Jong un watches with glee scoffing popcorn. “Music is about fun, and pop music can be about satire and commentary, so I decided to have some fun mixing the two!”, – said EMIN.

Hey, now this is a bit different for these parts, eh?

There is a beautiful Irish poem that some attribute to St. Dallan in the 6th century. Shortly after he became blind, St. Dallan wrote the first line to this poem: “Be Thou My Vision, O Lord.” This beautiful Irish hymn stands for faith, hope and the relationship we have with the Lord in our lives. Thanks for watching!! 🙂 ~ Camille

Fingerstyle Guitar Player Camille Nelson is a classically trained multi-instrumentalist. Her music is fun and fresh, offering feel-good beats and moving melodies that any audience can easily relate to. Her pop/rock/folk style, which was influenced by artists including U2 and Alanis Morissette, evolved to her current style of percussive guitar elements integrated with violin and ethereal vocals, which has marked her as a fingerstyle guitar player. Camille’s first album, First Words, was released in 2009 and was engineered and produced by Nashville producer, Giles Reaves, for the independent label Dimmi Records. Reaves is currently working with Camille recording her fingerstyle work. Much of Camille’s music relates to her extensive world travel. She speaks German and Italian and has been to over 60 countries—gaining multicultural experiences that have strongly influenced her song-writing. She has lived around the world during and after earning her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Utah and a doctorate degree from Gonzaga University. She is now a college professor teaching MBA courses in management, communication, and leadership. Camille Nelson has worked with various fingerstyle guitar players including Andy Mckee, Billy McLaughlin, Antoine Dufour, Stephen Bennett, and Kaki King. She was deeply inspired by works by Michael Hedges and in particular, Andy Mckee’s “Drifting” and Kaki King’s “Playing with Pink Noise,” whose pieces both feature percussive elements that Camille also integrates into her compositions. She also incorporates and layers violin and vocal tracks into her songs.. As Camille Nelson’s guitar teacher, Kaki King helped Camille develop and master her guitar skills while encouraging Camille to continue working on more original compositions establishing her as a fingerstyle guitar player. Camille Nelson has performed all around the United States and various parts of the world. She completed a tour around Ireland where she performed in several venues displaying her fingerstyle guitar work and original compositions. She has also performed in a variety of venues around Europe where she has earned praise as a fingerstyle guitar player and pop/rock singer. Camille Nelson is also a well-rounded athlete that has earned praise as a competitive runner and triathlete having run over 15 marathons, including the Boston Marathon, Great Wall Marathon, and the Antarctica Marathon. Born and raised in Salt Lake, Camille is the youngest of six similarly musical children. She was strongly influenced by her father, a violist, and her mother, a professional opera singer. Camille continues to make music while she teaches to help further her goal of motivating and touching people. With Camille’s work in music as well as in academia, Camille’s dream is to use her Ph.D in communication and her music skills to impact people through her creativity and music as she has been deeply impacted by the music and people that have had a profound impact on her life.

Camille contacted me on twitter a cpl three days ago and I am just getting to it but I am glad because she is one heck of a picker!
