Description

This album is signed by Duke Mitchell September 29, 1980, and it is number 24 limited edition personal. Duke died a year after gifting this album. Album cover is not in that good of condition it is coming apart at the seams but I think that can be repaired.

Duke Mitchell's Tribute to Durante is a delightful and entertaining album that pays homage to the legendary entertainer Jimmy Durante. The album features Mitchell's smooth vocals, accompanied by a talented band that perfectly captures the spirit of Durante's music.

From the opening track "Inka Dinka Doo," Mitchell's performance is full of energy and enthusiasm, capturing the infectious fun of Durante's music. Throughout the album, Mitchell performs a mix of Durante's classic hits and lesser-known gems, each one delivered with a sense of reverence and respect for the original material.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Umbriago," a lively tune that showcases Mitchell's vocal range and the band's impressive musicianship. The song is a perfect example of the album's overall vibe, which is upbeat and joyful, capturing the spirit of Durante's music and personality.


Duke Mitchell (born Dominic Salvatore Miceli; May 9, 1926 – December 2, 1981) was an American film actor, slapstick comedian, crooner and independent film director of 1970s gangster films starring himself. Mitchell often performed his nightclub act in and around Palm Springs, California, and anointed himself the "King of Palm Springs."

Sadly he died December 2, 1981 (aged 55) from lung cancer.
