back from the dead

[princerupe74]

if you could bring any entertainer back from the dead and have front row seats to watch them perform in their prime, who would you choose and why?

[thenry]

Spike Milligan !

[askyourgran]

Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, Frank Sinatra, Perry Como.

After consideration I would also opt for Dave Allen. One of the best storytellers there has ever been.

Thanks sibton, a real crooner. Having said that i forgot about Matt Monroe. x

[erin-x]

Kurt Cobain... I'm watching Nirvana: Unplugged as I type. He's just so mesmerising...

[sir.prize]

Fortunately lots of Dave Allen material is still accessible on Youtube.

[Flyhalf]

Sammy Davis Jr - he could do it all, and mostly brilliantly.

I've got to agree with the Dave Allen vote. He'd sit there in his chair with his cigarette in one hand and his drink in the other,telling the most outrageous story you could imagine and have your ribs aching with laughter, and his "Pope" sketches always raised a good old fashioned belly laugh.

Tommy Cooper but I hear that in real life he was a lot diffrent from his stage act !

[Ann]

John Lennon. Also George Harrison and then have the Beatles back for a concert!

Edith Piaf.

[VHG]

Probably Bobby Darin who was a great entertainer (rather than that bland Michael Buble). Pity he died so young.

Bobby Darin is the only one who could give Sinatra a run for his money.

Watch this video to see what a great entertainer he was

Without a doubt, Dave Allen. His sense of timing was spot on and I loved his dry sense of humour! Best comedian ever IMO.
