Ken Dodd (UK comedian);
Frank Sinatra (US singer);

Fred Astaire (US dancer and singer);
George Best (Northern Irish Footballer);
Billy Connolly (Scottish Comedian);

The Beatles, who used music hall to change the face of pop. Joseph Calleja, who is changing the face of tenor singing. Here he is with Renee Fleming, singing a duet from La Traviata. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1fR5rLseB8 Author Kurt Vonnegut Comedians Rita Rudner and Dave Allen Comedian and visionary George Carlin Singer Dusty Springfield Composer Johan/Janne/Jean Sibelius The consummate song and dance man, Sammy Davis Jr. Actor Robert Downey Jr, who can fill a screen without moving a muscle. That's ten so no room for any singer-songwriters. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AAa7iGhS3M http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvIjQSFLb3U Reply #51. Sep 09 12, 1:08 PM |
