Who else would you call one of the best entertainers that has ever been?

[Eli26]

It also depends what are the parameters of the evaluation...
- Record sales?
- Concerts performed?
- Countries visited?
- Quality of music...
- Influence in the industry...
- Creativity...

Sales Volume doesn't make an entertainer great,
just popular...

Why does only half the world get that? Half? More like the minority.

 

[Darth Cruel]

Dark Lord Dave is a great Entertainer.

I caught his show over at the Pussycat Lounge.

It scared me.

 

[ProgMatinee]

no respect for Rodney Dangerfield?

Hands down. In my opinion no one has ever even neared Sammy Davis Jr. He could do it all. He starred in film, television, the stage, night clubs and in concert. No one has ever been able to match his talent.

Sammy sang, danced, and acted. He did impressions, serious roles and comedy. Jackson was a great entertainer but Sammy was a much more talented performer.

Sammy had his demons but at least he wasn't a wack job...

 

[GrueSam]

yes he was... But the "King of Cool" wasn't bad ether Dean Martin

[creecher]

Lucille Ball.

 

[The Ween]

There's just too many, though I always come back to The Beatles.

 

[devilof76]

I'd put The Beatles at the top too. Even for a band that quit performing live while they created their best work.

 

[pixletwin]

I think maybe if we were talking about all time then maybe Franz Liszt should be in the top 5, for sure.

 

[devilof76]

How about Sophocles?

Jim Henson

 

[devilof76]

I'll second that one too.

 

[Kuzeh]

Jim Henson

 

[IronFingaz]

The Rolling Stones (Mick Jagger)?

 

[Aerosmith]

Jim Henson

Yes! He brought so much life to a "glorified sock puppet". No one can ever replace him.
