Celebrating Jimmy Roselli – Oct. 7, 4 pm
September 4, 2018 @ 12:00 am
On Sunday, Oct. 7, join us at the Hoboken Museum, 1301 Hudson St., at 4 pm for a special event celebrating that other beloved Hoboken crooner: Jimmy Roselli.
Born in Hoboken in 1925, Roselli was one of the most significant Italian-American pop singers of his time, during an era of competition from such performers as Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Perry Como, Vic Damone and Jerry Vale. Known as “the other Sinatra,” many considered Jimmy to be the better of the two, but he never reached the heights of fame achieved by “Ole Blue Eyes” because he fell out with the Mob.
The event will feature lecture, slide presentation, footage of concert and TV appearances, live performance by singer Theodore Chletsos, and more.
Sponsored by The City of Hoboken with a grant from the Hudson County History Partnership Program.
Admission is $10.00. Seating is limited, so best to reserve tickets in advance.
This program is made possible by a grant from The New Jersey State Historical Commission, a Division of the Department of State, and administered by the Hudson County Office of Cultural & Heritage Affairs, Thomas A. DeGise, Hudson County County Executive and Hudson County Board of Chosen Freeholders.
