Forgive me but I thought Casucci was Italian for Gigolo. When you first see it, it sounds like an Italian sex word.

Was in a Paris cafe that first I found himHe was a Frenchman, a hero of the warBut war was over And here's how peace had crowned himA few cheap medals to wear and nothing moreNow every night in the same cafe he shows upAnd as he strolls by ladies hear him sayIf you admire me, hire meA gigolo who knew a better dayJust a gigolo, everywhere I goPeople know the part I'm playingPaid for every danceSelling each romanceEvery night some heart betrayingThere will come a dayYouth will pass awayThen what will they say about meWhen the end comes I know They'll say just a gigoloAs life goes on without meJust a gigolo, everywhere I goPeople know the part I'm playingPaid for every danceSelling each romanceEvery night some heart betrayingThere will come a dayYouth will pass awayThen what will they say about meWhen the end comes I knowThey'll say just a gigoloAs life goes on without me

In his youth Der Bingle was a true great warbler. Sadly when he aged he became a groaner. For instance the song "White Christmas" was a song associated with him, But eventually he actually started moaning. Johnny Mathis now owns it , as well as most yuletide songs

First, Prima's famous song was "Please No Squeeza Da Banana " However he wrote the great classic Sing Sing Sing. But it took the great arranger with Benny Goodman, Henderson, to take the song to perpetuity. I always wondered why Bing's contemporary and rival Russ Columbo never covered "Gigolo". He had the good looks of a Gigolo but I guess it's tough to cover what was to become a standard

When I was a young fellow back in the 50's, three days a week they played Crosby records on the radio. I believe that it was from 5 - 6 in the evening. I never missed it. That is where I heard those fabulous recordings from the 30's. There was one like him. He was Christmas for me beginning in the 40's. As for his personal life he was no different from any other person growing up in the early part of the 20th century. I also would have like to have had a drink with him. He could sing anything with anyone. Listen to Dinah with the Mills Brothers. They were great but he was right there.

Louis Prima had a hit with this song and Louis Armstrong, as usual, did justice to it by Crosby is my favorite, 1931,The Depression, long before I was born but it feels great.

Bing's voice was naturally higher. Then he had an illness and his voice changed so he couldn't sing the higher notes.

The French versions of the song are usually torch songs that are very sympathetic to the plight of the unemployed army captain. The American versions are usually rousing dance tunes like David Lee Roth and Louis Prima.
