Absolutely, and I never thought of it as racist, just as a funny piece.

I remember him very well. Woolworths use to play the record on a small portable player at the front of the store to promote his records.

I remember him from the Jack Benny show.It's a shame shows of that era e.g. Amos and Andy and the wonderful Disney movie 'Song of the South' evidently cannot be broadcast again.

Don't get me started! George Gobel, Liberace, Nat King Cole, Arthur Godfrey, Lawrence Welk, Lucille Ball, Howdy Doody, Queen for A day.... I was in kindergarten and recollect my parents getting our first TV.

Too many to list!
Many classics! A different age of man.
Looking at some of the stuff on TV now, a portion of it worthless.

I do recall that funny guy. He always cracked me up with his skits. I'll miss him- he took me back to the days of Red Skelton, Jack Benny, and others.

Definitely. I was saddened to see that article last night. He had a great thing going a few decades ago.
