One great scene from an awful movie - Gigli. Justin Bartha plays "brian", and he entertains himself by rapping Sir Mix-A-Lot's (Anthony Ray) legendary song "Baby Got Back".
"That's an Old-School song" LoL!!!

Another specific Gigli request. Beniamino Gigli singing Mi Par D'Udir Ancora from Act 1 of Bizet's Pearlfishers, recorded for HMV in 1931. Interesting to compare with the Tino Rossi version I posted previously. Totally different. I'm not going to offer an opinion other than to say that it is beautiful singing

"Gigli is curiously moving and ingenuous as the chubby, sentimental tenor he was--and he sings all sorts of material in that unrivalled voice of his, mezza voce alternating with impassioned forte."--Alan Blyth, reviewing this film in Gramophone

JUST MUSIC OVER FIXED IMAGES . SICILIANA: "O LOLA, CH´AI DI LATTI LA CAMMISA" ....
PIETRO MASCAGNI´S "CAVALLERIA RUSTICANA" PREMIER WAS IN 1890 (CURIOSLY, SAME YEAR OF GIGLI´S BIRTH). THIS RECORDING WAS MADE IN 1940, WITH GIGLI AS "TURIDDU", AND THE COMPOSER CONDUCTING, AND SPEAKING IN THE FIRST 50 YEARS CELEBRATION OF THE PREMIERE.
