Jimmy Roselli

Jimmy has recorded over 36 albums containing over 500 songs. He had three top 25 hits in the 60s during the era of rock and roll. Unbelievably all were Neopolitan songs. His American rendition of standard ballads gave him great notoriety not only in the U.S. but also in England. Roselli has played some of the most prestigious venues in the U.S. and in England, such as The Palace, The Copacabana and Carnegie Hall in New York. He was the only performer to sell out two shows on a Monday night at Carnegie Hall. He has starred at The Paladium and Royal Albert Hall in London and The Sands in Las Vegas.

At the time of his retirement he was commanding and getting $65,000 to $125,000 for a single performance based on the venue. Roselli passed away in 2011.
