Greatest Entertainers of All Times

Dean once said about sammy, Rose's are red violets are pink if I had your talent I wouldn't have to drink. No one in showbuisnes will ever gain have the talent sammy had.

Dean Martin became my idol during my early childhood and he still remains today. No one ever accomplished as much as he did in the entertainment industry, and no one else will ever come close to achieving his pinnacle of success. His talent had no limits. Whether it was in the recording studio, the sliver screen, television or a Vegas show room, he was the ruler of his domain.Even on stage with Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Junior, it's Dean you can't take your eyes off.

Dean Martin was the King of Cool. He just had natural style in whatever he did. I loved his TV show but most of all, I loved his singing. No one was as smooth and relaxing as Dino.

Best moive ever - RIO BRAVO !!!

Dean Martin - The GREATEST singer and entertainer ever!!!!!

As much as I like Sammy, he doesn't come close to Dean Martin, as a singer or all-around entertainer.

Well, I'm a twenty-something chick, and I love Dean Martin. Dino is as "big" now with my generation as he was in his heyday. It's amazing, you can hear him almost everywhere. He's a timeless, classic singer and entertainer. He now personifies the "essence of cool" for many. He truly has crossed over into "cultural immortality", and deservedly so. The Beatles and Stones are so passe.

Dean Martin was truly the "King of All Media". He recorded 1,000+ songs and had MANY gold records, made 60+ movies, had a top-ten TV show from 1965-1974, another highly rated TV show from 1975-1984 (the celebrity "roasts"), was the "biggest" and highest paid performer in Vegas during his heyday, and was part of the most successful comedy team in history ("Martin & Lewis") from 1946-1956. He was highly successful in everything he did, and he became incredibly wealthy as a result. No other performer could (or can) come close to his success. He was, and still is, loved here in the US and around the world. Dean Martin could do it all, and did. He was a "megastar".

Dean Martin - "The King of Cool", and the greatest entertainer ever!!!!!

The incomparable Dean Martin was the greatest singer and entertainer who ever lived. No one else even comes close.

he had 2 hit shows that ran for 10 years

Elvis by far.

Without question its Elvis. With Elvis music changes forever. With Elvis, popular culture changes forever. Elvis started the revolution that fueled the 1960's rebellion and all the music that comes after. Elvis is the highest selling solo artist of all time. Elvis was the biggest movie star of the 1960s. Elvis sold out every night in Vegas and around the country during the 70s. Did over a thousand shows in this period. He had "the voice" and could sing anything. He had the looks, the hair, the moves and charisma. There will never be another. He has no equal.

The King!

the greatest ever

Paul McCartney said it best, "Had there been no Elvis there would have been no Beatles". The same goes for the Stones, and many others. He is still the King...

SO YOU say. Everybody knows Elvis was better!!!

Elvis idolized the great Dean Martin. Sam Phillips said that Elvis wanted to be Dean Martin. Elvis gave Dean the title "The King Of Cool". All facts.

Rock n Roll baby!!!! ELVIS

Amen. Before anyone did anything, ELVIS DID IT ALL!!!!!!!!!!

He is the best of all time. Also, I have to wonder why nobody has seen the birth certificate of our president.

One of the best ever

Engelbert was in awe of Sammy's talent I've heard him say so

Top 200--for sure--but #4 NO WAY!

He was, and still is, an international superstar, a GREAT singer and stage performer.

Top 5 entertainers of all time

John wayne Is the man the greatest western actor of all time

John Wayne is one of the best entertainers of all time

Sammy could do everything and at the highest possible level .D.martin Rose's are red violets are pink if I had your talent I wouldn't have.to drink F.sinatra never thought you would amount to everything. Nuff said. .

sing, dance,ximedy, act, impersonations NOBODY COULD DO IT ALL LIKE /SAMMY

Not one of the people ranked above sammy could come close to this mans depth of talent.

No 9 shurly a joke none above could match sammy for pure talent in every branch of showbiz. 134

Could any other artists do everything sammmy did at highest possible level.dont think so.

He could sing, dance, do comedy skits--good choice!

BEST ENTERTAINER EVER. WATCH HIS RENDITION OF MR. BOGANGLES ON YOUTUBE. ENJOY!

A MEMBER OF THE RAT PACK, GREAT SINGER,ACTOR AND WONDERFUL ENTERTAINER.

Johnny was one of the best. Consistently entertaining 5 days a week for so many years. His easy going charm is irreplaceable. I miss him.

Granted Johnny Carson was the highly-successful host of "The Tonight Show". But, that's it. Sure, he could do a little bit of everything, but only within the format of that show. Should he be #2 or even in the Top-5 greatest entertainers? I rather doubt it. Dean Martin will live on through his recordings, movies, and TV shows. I'm afraid that future generations will forget about Johnny. He was, like most entertainers, too "one-dimensional". But, he was good at what he did, when he did it, within the format of that TV show.

Brilliant comedienne, with perfect comedic timing.

Elderly hippie-types are into the Stones. They're still living in the '60's and '70's. Man, that stuff is as dated and stale as they are!......nemesis

I second that!

The Rolling Stones in one word: creepy.

Sure you care, or you wouldn't have commented. Dean Martin was right!......pandy

The Rolling Stones first US TV appearance was on the Hollywood Palace hosted by the great Dean Martin in 1964. Martin made light of these lightweight non-talents, as he should have. Their "music" was/is even worse than their hideous physical appearances.

Since this list is created by voters, I'd guess Michael is where the voters have put him. Seems logical???

this is Crap. Michael Jackson is the best by far!!!!

Their music is for nostalgic senior citizens who think that stale bubblegum music is still hip. The Monkees were even better!

Yes

Rated way too high on this list

Sonny was cute and he had the brains, but Cher was (and still is) a SUPERSTAR.

Well-deserved. He was large in life--and that is not a comment about his girth!

An electrifying performer!!!

Free James Brown!

If we are talking about all round entertainers (rather than just actors, singer etc), Judy should be well up the list. She was of course an iconic film star in probably the most viewed film in history. In addition, she was an Oscar winning (juvenile) and twice further nominated actress. She was and award winning concert artist, a commendable dancer, a legendary concert performer and a natural comedienne. Just look at the books being published about her (still) and the plays being written about her. The legend lives on!

she should be far above Streisand, Shore,Clark, Houston and the supremes. Really she is a LEGEND. one that everyone knows, at least indirectly through her songs. She is an inspiration for a lot of today's singers and no one reaches her qualities, because recent singers are all edited in voice improving programs. Judy is NATURAL! And by far one of the best singers, actrices, tv stars and enterainers of ALL TIME!!!

It’s pretty obvious MJ should be number one

He is the greatest entertainer and king of pop.he should be no. 1.

Influenced an audience all over the world and was an amazing performer.

I meant best selling album of all time... Thriller!!!!

Michael has the best feeling album of all time and influenced and audience all over the world.

Greatest of all time!!!!!!!!

Pioneer of music, 4.2 octave range, incredible and creative dance moves, greatest entertainer and humanitarian!

Michael was the first serious double threat, equally good singer and dancer. Raised the bar for all to come.

Y is this man not #1. The greatest of anybody generation. Who do u know have ppl fainting n grown folks passing out. Ppl in China who didn't even speak English knew his song. U had to have 8-10 ambulance carry ppl out. Grown men crying. Who has done that!

Should be number 1! No one has done or will ever do what he did. THE TRUE KING!!! RIP MJJ

Mj is 25 so not accurate he would be higher. You present some facts but most of this is opinion and not true

Pardon, I meant to say new ground. Check that, he blew up the ground altogether! With the moonwalk he wouldn't need it.

Simply the greatest. The Beatles say, "Had their been no Elvis, there would have been no Beatles." Maybe so, but Michael broke no ground altogether in the entertainment industry and had no peers. Every singer today copies from him, it's ridiculous.

He should be number one!!

"Ebony and Ivory" was with Stevie Wonder but otherwise I completely agree.

The reigning "King of Bubblegum Music". His duets with Michael Jackson, "Ebony and Ivory" and "The Girl is Mine", are cultural lowpoints. But, nostalgic seniors still think he's "the bomb". Give me a break!

Her "Went with the Wind" skit is probably the funniest TV skit ever!

a great example for a star-decline

Some drug use? She's probably used more than any singer in recent times.

In 1976, she received the Golden Globe award for "Best Nose in Showbiz".

the only thing she can do is sing thats it

His music moved me

He certainly gets credit for longevity (over 60 yrs in show biz).

great actor,dancer and singer

singer, actor, dancer wonderful

His flamboyance was something to behold.

Once is enough.

Before becoming a TV star, he was quite the story-teller on the comedy tour.

I second that well-constructed comment about his brilliant flair. Punct.

Absolute comedic--and sometimes social commentary--genius!

what a mess 87 charli he must in top 10

He deserves respect

I am glad that he made the list and that he is not forgotten!

He was the first TV super-star.

Ray was bright and funny and much of his work is classic!

His song "The Streak" is really uplifting and inspiring.

One of the all-time best and most unfairly underrated entertainer who walked the earth. R.I.P.

Would you believe that he should be #1? Would you believe #15? How about #56?

SStill funny some 80 years later!

Top 5 on the Greatest Rock Bands list

Still sharp at her age. Good for her!

lennon is awesome...he is suppose to be among Top 20 best entertainers!!

His stage show is immensely entertaining.

Garth Brooks was a great country singer but thats all.This is about alround entertainment.

He's a stooge as his wife is as well.

Their style was unique, fusing folk music and comedy together. Glad that I got to see them perform.

Two Grammys plus the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award [2010]. Vocal Group Hall of Fame, Hit Parade Hall of Fame. Five #1 albums on Billboard charts. ONE song only? Hardly.

The Kingston Trio only sang one song and hardly entertained anyone with it.

I am so glad that he made the list and is not forgotten. His Norton character was epic

This man was pure manic comedic talent. Also a credible actor. No one could ad lib like Robin. Should be Top 10

I'M 30 YRS OLD AND HOWARD IS THE GREATEST ENTERTAINER OF MY GENERATION AND THE LAST OF A DYING BREED.

Probably the worst singer ever, but maybe the greatest songwriter ever.
