Paul Melba On The Comedians

[Rod Serling]

Always loved this particular comedy singer, as he did brilliant impressions of the great US lounge singers, on The Comedians, and other Variety shows of the time (early '70s).

I also particularly liked another impressionist, acting not singing, who'd did a brilliant Kirk Douglas, among others. Same era, same type of shows like The Comedians. Please can someone tell me his name?

Johnny More?

[Rod Serling]

Yes! Thank you Barry, 'tis he, the late, great Johnny More - what a legend!

Actually looked a bit like Kirk Douglas as well, just to give him some credibility.

Sadly, both he & Paul Melba have gone upstairs to that    
great stage in the sky.

But I'll never forget, shall I say, lesser known faces, but equally talented, for on those classic l, but probably now viewed as passé, un-pc, etc. TV shows of the early '70s.

I remember him well, Rod, times long gone. 🙂
