The Vince Guaraldi Trio

Comments:

This is about entertainers, not jazz piano. The Vince Guaraldi Trio's music has entertained us in film, television and in person - not to mention the composing talents of Guaraldi. It isn't just about jazz. Suggestion - compose a list of top jazz pianists for the music section.

Phill Collins

Played drums with Genesis for most of the 70s before moving to front man also a very prolific drum session artist during the 70s/80s. Has another band named Brand X, a solo career for the last three decades riding a truckload of hits in the 80s. The only artist to play at both Live Aid with the help of the Concorde. BTW it a trivia question in many trivia pursuit box. More than a few movie soundtrack and an Oscar for Tarzan. Collins also add a semi successful acting career including being an extra in The Beatles' A Hard Day's Night. Hell he should make top 10 only because of that Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories cameo!

To be a great entertainer you've got to have some kind of talent. The "Globetrotters" were talented entertainers, no doubt about it. But, they were/are an ensemble, a changing "cast" of performers. Which of those casts do you contend was "great"? Or, would you single out particular current or former members of the ensemble as "great"? Meadowlark Lemon, perhaps? Personally, I think you made a mistake putting them in this list. But, who really cares?

He is the greatest singer performer and entertainer of all time with the most legendary songs he always engaged the audience and all his fans he is so inspirational and over came so much , even when he was dying of aids he still sang his heart out , the day he died he recorded a song that shows how brave he was he could barely walk but he still continued making music it’s such a shame he died so young RIP

lady gaga

may not be desierable but when it comes to entertainment u can't deny she leaves u speachless

0 points - added 15 years ago by wrestlefan96 - 3 comments

Comments:

Lady Gaga doesn't deserve to be at the bottom of the list she is by far is the most dedicated entertainer to her fans of today and probably even all time. She worked her way up, and the only reason someone or someones put her at the bottom is because this person has problems with the "gays", or normal people is what they really deserve to be called. This has nothing to do the way she entertains the entertainment of today because in concerts unlike many "entertainers" she doesn't lip-sync, and she instead of just singing to the fan she frees them of all the negativity in their lives with her songs, which FYI have hit 1# 6 times in row in top singles. How many entertainers accomplished that in their time of entertainment. Respect Lady Gaga for at least getting in the greatest entertainers of all time unlike the people who wrote disrespectful comments about her, that aren't true.

Added 13 years ago by guest, 0 points

Lady Gaga is only on here due to people's (i.e., the people who buy her records) stupidity.

Added 14 years ago by guest, 0 points

lady gaga will be gone in from entertainment in 2 years. this is a list of entertainers of all time.
