James Francis Durante (February 10, 1893 – January 29, 1980) was an American singer, pianist, comedian, and actor. His distinctive clipped gravelly speech, New York 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. He often referred to his nose as the Schnozzola (from the German Schnauze [nose]), and the word became his nickname.

Thanks for that!

Durante is one of the great American performers of the 20th century. A brilliant showman. He probably spent more time at the top than anyone else I can think of. He always came off as un-scripted, uplifting and a natural performer. His late life performances were some of his best.
