Big Bob - Great answers! But, Dean Martin, Judy Garland and Sammy Davis - were they still around in the 70's? I'm not sure about all, although I am almost certain, we lost Liza's mom in the 60's. Jerry Lewis had/has a Vegas Act & Lewis & Martin reconciled a long split, I think during the MDA telethon, so you might be right.
It's sad we're losing/lost some of the brightest talent from the Golden Age and resigned to Homer and Bart Simpson!
The generation coming up, imho, could revive the energy in their own right of class acts. What do you think?
