- Rosemary Clooney - Mambo Italiano
Rosemary Clooney (May 23, 1928 -- June 29, 2002) was an American singer and actress. She came to prominence in the early 1950s with the novelty hit "Come On-a My House" written by William Saroyan and his cousin Ross Bagdasarian (David Seville), which was followed by other pop numbers such as "Botch-a-Me" (a cover version of the Italian song Ba-Ba-Baciami Piccina by Alberto Rabagliati), "Mambo Italiano", "Tenderly", "Half as Much", "Hey There" and "This Ole House", though she would go on to success as a jazz vocalist.
Clooney's career languished in the 1960s, partly due to problems related to depression and drug addiction, but revived in 1974, when her White Christmas co-star Bing Crosby asked her to appear with him at a show marking his 50th anniversary in show business. She continued recording until her death in 2002.
"Mambo Italiano" is a popular song written by Bob Merrill in 1954 and recorded by Rosemary Clooney. Merrill actually wrote it on deadline, scribbled hastily on a paper napkin in an Italian restaurant in New York, United States using the wall pay-phone to dictate the melody, rhythm and lyrics to the recording studio pianist, under the aegis of conductor Mitch Miller. The song became a hit for Rosemary, reaching #10 on the charts in the United States and number one in the UK Singles Chart early in 1955.
The original record was produced by Mitch Miller.
The 1988 Jonathan Demme film, Married to the Mob, featured Clooney's version playing while the opening credits rolled.
Also in 1988 the song figured prominently in the 22-year off-broadway production of "Tony & Tina's Wedding" as well as various national touring productions since.
In 2000 it was remixed and re-released by Shaft, reaching #12 on the UK Singles Chart. The bands Groove Armada and Basement Jaxx have each recorded their own electronic music versions of the song. A Russian version of "Mambo Italiano" was recorded by Philipp Kirkorov in 2001, and appeared on his album Vchera, Segodnya, Zavtra. Paula Tsui recorded a Mandarin version, Cha shao bao. A sample from Clooney's version was used in the song "Imma Tell" by Tech N9ne in 2002. The song was also sampled in "Mambo", performed by VIP featuring Sin, from Sin's and VIP's 2006 mixtape "Rane Vol. 1".
Other versions of "mambo Italiano" have been recorded by Dean Martin, Bette Midler, Gérard Darmon, Alma Cogan (1955) and Renato Carosone, and in French, Dario Moreno.
In 2009, the Renato Carosone/Nisa recording was featured in an advertisement for Visa Inc.
In 2010, it was performed during the live rounds of the BBC TV Show Over The Rainbow by the eventual winner, Danielle Hope.

Cleaning out 78's my mom had saved, and this is one of them!
She had a fantastic voice and phrasing
I agree. Fantastic voice!
I am Italian too, and I love this song. I have also met Rosemary Clooney and she was sweet lady.
Its good to get mentioned and sung about, find the positives in Life.
I like Italia, thank you for the pasta, lasagne and all the good food!
That's George Clooney's Aunt.
@@eddiegoteman9382 Thank Italy too for Leoncavallo, Rossini, Bellini, Monteverde, Morricone, Vivaldi, Puccini, Scarlatti, to name a few
lol! Very Cool!!
@@truthaboutcabbage I thank Italy for the glory of the Roman Empire.
I don't think anyone else, even Dean Martin, has surpassed Clooney's rendition of this song. This is Clooney at her best: spicy, effervescent and unforgettably fun!
I agree with you.
Never. Apologise to Dean and take 5.
I kept seeing George clooney in her eyes especially the naughty wink
You rather perhaps see George Clooney in Rosemary's eyes, right?
her nephew?
Rosemary Clooney a forever iconic🤩
What a voice on her!
Italian Girls can sing, Cher !
@@danielterry382
Her parents where German and Irish! 🤣
I'm not Italian but I think if I was, this song would really get my soul jumping.
The Best version of this song is done by rosemary Clooney
Rosemary Clooney. Just a class act!
What an energetic lively melodious high scaled voice of All time Great Singing Star Ma'am Rosemary Clooney 🙏🙏
makes me want to listen to Eartha Kitt's rendition of C'est Si Bon. love Eartha. she has such a fantastic voice. Rosemary Clooney rocked the house with this song.
Legendary Rosemary Clooney was the best presentable Artist ever in the International Music Scenario 🙏🙏
Sinatra , a Big fan.
By far!!!!! And I really like Dean Martin
Rosemary Clooney is just too fabulous for words,her warm superladylike cheery delivery oozes all American girl beauty rose.
Hello Sharon, How are you doing?
This song makes me hungry.
Nice Voice
Nice Acting
Nice Song
Nice Woman
I have to say
I love her smile at the end.
Oh my those years...music is so great.
She's an amazing singer!!!
Aw man, I wish it was the whole song...bummer
Stunning (after all these years)!!!! Makes George Clooney proud!!!!
best version of this song, sorry dean martin
Couldn't agree more.This is just class.
This is the original version.
Disagree Bette Midler version is better to me
I love her
Kaitlin schnuez it’s good but all the newer versions had actually ditched the “mambo” part, the rhythm is not mambo anymore but a mix of jazz and salsa.
She makes me smile. She forces me to.
When you have a crush on a dead girl...
Yes! Lol
Wait she's dead!?
Anna likes cookies yeah she died in 2002 of lung cancer i believe
@Christian Guerilla LMAO
@@tinastanley4444 whats so funny?
george clooney had one classy aunt
This is one of my most favorite Video! She and her team they all look and perform adorable...!
First heard this in a café in Assisi, Umbria, Italia. Such fun!
I LOVE HER VOICE AND PERSONALITY
I'm really glad to see this original on RUclips; up till recently it's just been this clip as it appeared in a later PBS special.
In 1954 there was a craze for the Mambo in the USA, which inspired a bunch of novelty songs like this one. I was very surprised to discover that this had been a hit in Italy too, recorded in both English and - appropriately - Italian.
Yep ruclips.net/video/T0mBRmjiVUk/видео.html
Best version. After listening M.

Fantastic !!
What a Beatiful Woman
From MAFIA 2 EPIC SONG
I like the attitude with which she sings this.
Bellissima canzone Italo-Americana. Nonostante ci siano molte versioni, un complimento sentito va sicuramente a Rosemary Clooney e a Bette Midler. Il testo riprende uno scenario italiano (del sud Italia) veramente simile a quello reale anche se talvolta troppo stereotipato. Ora ne aspettiamo una che abbia come tema Venezia :)
AMAZING!!! *applause!!
loooooooooooooooooooove her so much
grew up with this me 73 now
I came here after hearing this song on the car radio in Mafia 2, ironically that game ends in 1951 and this song only came out 3 years later
simple and sweet loved it.
Her talent brush on her nephew George Clooney
Catchy ref, it get easily stuck on your mind. I watched a video with best songs each month through the 50's, and this one and "Mr Sadman" was the first songs to get my atention ;-)
I was playing Mafia II and suddenly... here I am
here from mafia 2
The most iconic New York Italian mafia song sung best by a girl from Kentucky. Forget everything you ever knew.
I am truly in love with miss Clooney great sinver and truly a talented lady.
It brings back childhood
C,étaient de très bonnes chanteuses et de très bons films à comparer d aujourd'hui. ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I first hear that song in MAFIA 2

I still say she was the model for the original barbi, maybe not the face but everything else.
Где то в году 57- 58 ом на патефоне мы проигрывали пластинку с этой мелодией, но там был русский текст примерно: пусть далека страна твоя и языка не знаю я, но ты гостил в моей стране и песню эту оставил мне " И далее уже "эй мамбо, мамбо итальяно, эй мамбо...
Such a talent,, she is so far ahead of george clooney there is really no comparison
Jerry Morgan lol they are entirely in different professions
because one of them is an actor and the other one is a fucking singer?
Um rosemary was also an actress
@@dantegoat8568 I bet you didn’t know she was lip syncing to this
