Leonello Casucci
The Italian composer Casucci is especially remembered for his song Schöner Gigolo Armer Gigolo, translated into English by Irving Berlin in 1929, the year following its original release. Just A Gigolo was covered by Louis Armstrong among others, and paired with the song I Ain’t Got Nobody, it became a major hit for Louis Prima in the fifties, The Village People in the seventies and finally ex-Van Halen singer David Lee Roth in the eighties.
