Wonderin' what the situation is in Hannibal, MO four years later (2011). Still no clue who Cliff Edwards was? Isn't time the town of Hannibal does something about it?
What a sad state of affairs when an American says "Clueless". He is an inspirational singer. The mundane radio stations pump out the same trash and it is no wonder nobody gets to hear his voice anymore. With the changing state of radio however from FM to internet there is a chance for more choice from the money driven dribble that gets rammed down your lughole in the guise of "pop". Long live Ukulele Ike!
@WilliamT1964 You sure Cliff doesnt have a star on the wof!!? What? I live blocks from Hollywood, have loved cliff for years and never knew there was no star!!! Shameful. And as for hannibal, somebody build a statue or something to clue these people in! I'll chip in, for the love of pete!! Sheeesh!!
@murraymae I am 100% positive Cliff has NO star on the WOF. I have often thought about trying to organize a petition and then a fund for a star for him.
My mother who died in 1934 was a fan of Cliff Edwards. He was her favorite singer I'm happy to say. He seems to me to bear a resemblence to Jimminy Cricket. Especially the eyes.
I like him. He's got sweet songs but could also be really funny. Listen to "I'm Going to Give it to Mary with Love" and "I'm a Bear in a Lady's Boudoir" =D Whenever I think of older music I don't think of dirty songs like that
That so many people in his own home town and who appear at least old enough to have heard of him would have no idea who he is speaks very poorly for the state of things. Cliff Edwards' contributions were enormous and he deserves far more than obscurity.
Cliff should also get more respect from the Jazz world for his scat singing which he did on record before Louis Armstrong. A Great actor & singer - it is always a treat when he turns up in some old film on TCM. Thanks for posting.
I remember seeing Ukelele Ike in the westerns as a sidekick to the Durango Kid. He was also with some Tim Holts. Later I recognized his voice a Jimminy Cricket. Thanks for the memories.
I wouldn't say, "no one remembers." I surely do, but there's a lesson here for all of us; PLAN AHEAD! No matter how high you're riding, it can all go away. And, in the end, only you are responsible. Don't wind up like Cliff, Anna Nicole Smith, Michael Jackson, or Marilyn Monroe. Ultimately, you yourself are the ONLY one you can REALLY count on. Get ready while you have time.
Sent to Hannibal Mayor:- "Found a Hannibal boy who sold
74,000,000 records & voiced Jimminy Cricket for Disney, and yet , There is no memorial to him there.Why not make some tourist dough for Hannibal ? Promote him before his memory and that of characters he voiced and songs he introduced..."Singin in the Rain ", Toot ,toot,Tootsie,Goodbye ", and others...fade away.
Tom Loughlin Jr.-Utica NY
also advised mayor to watch this video and sent him the link. Let's see what happens. TAKE ACTION!
Where is this goofy Hannibal place? I mean, Cliff Edwards rocks. I always loved the guy. Too bad he died when I was 3. I first heard that Singin' in the Rain rendition from That's Entertainment.
I would love to see you trying to prove it... Not because I want something from that, but just for curiosity porposes... He was a fine singer. Unforgetable voice. it's a shame people thinks a Crickett could do it all alone...
i remember him. on the arthur godfrey show. ive always liked tenors with ukuleles. didnt realize till i saw this that he was jimminy cricket. probably if disney and others who made millions off him would have paid royalties, and had some concience, he would have ended his days in the screen actors guild home, instead. evidently its not safe to outlive your youth!
Yes he had no money and became an homeless vagrant (hobo)when he got old he could take the street life no more and knocked on the door of the welfare home,where he eventually passed away
Cliff was already in trouble by the time he had a career with Disney. His problems (as tragic as they were) were his own and the company tried to help as much as they could. It truly is a shame that no one remembers him. A lesson on the fickleness of fame.
Wow, shame on Hannibal Missouri for such ignorance about this great native son.
Small consolation that so many of today's pop stars currently enjoying fame who have less than 1/10th of Edwards' tallent will be even more thoroughly forgotten in 50 years.
Also its a shame that Disney,as with the voices from Snow White and Alice in Wonderland,would use them and then allow them to die peeniless after they touched the hearts of so many and gave Disney the fame it has today.
Ukulele Ike's his schtick was the tiny little ukulele and a moving, heartfelt voice. His strumming was very basic and he used a small soprano uke. "Fascinatin Rhythm," "Toot Toot Tootsie Good Bye," and "It's only a Paper Moon" were not his "originals" but were written by Gus Kahn, Harold Arlen and George Gershwin. Edwards "introduced" them. My favorite is his immortal version of "When You Wish Upon a Star" & he truly was Jiminy Cricket. Big, big talent! Johnny Pal of Mango Daville
Those Hannibal folks who don't know hometown boy Cliff Edwards remind me of when I visited the Capitol Records tower in Hollywood recently. I asked the lady at the desk in the tower lobby if she knew where Johnny Mercer's star on the "Walk of Fame" was located. She looked at me blankly and said, "WHO?"
Johnny Mercer was the FOUNDER of Capitol Records and responsible for signing Nat King Cole to the label...
Thank you for shedding light on an unsung troubadour that brought us some magnificent vocal reveries of the 20th century. He was always my favorite, and though he is sadly forgotten by the mainstream (which isn't surprising these days) there are those of us that have a real appreciation for talent and the generosity of a vaudevillian who touched many lives and never got the accolades he deserved through his journey. God bless this dear spirit.
That is so incredibly depressing. I've been a fan of Cliff since I was 17... I'm only 21 now but if I know who he is how can those other people not know???
Early famous movie or recording stars are not remembered by neither Hollywood or the Nation once the era and the music is gone.......Such a shame...for it is all an art form. Even the popular music of today except for RR & Heavy Meatal is becoming fast obsolete......The public has a short span when it come to popular music....
What an incredible talent! Cliff had perfect pitch in 3 octaves! I discovered Cliff's music back in the late '70's when I came across a reissue of his music on Yazoo Records. I have 6 albums of his recordings from the 20's to the 40's. One of the biggest movies he was in was MY GAL FRIDAY with Cary Grant. He created his own human orchestra sounds before The Mills Brothers. Cliff called it "blueblowing".
It really is a shame Cliff is not better known - what a remarkable talent his was. His Singin' In The Rain has much more depth than Gene Kelly's version (great as that is), and without Ike, George Formby might never have taken up the uke - in fact ukelele history would be very different. Dear old Cliff! Hannibal should erect a statue in his honour.
As so often, the great stars of ephemeral work (theatre, movies) are forgotten. It's all the more necessary that we try to remember them. As Hamlet says, the players are the very chronicle of the Age.
How did you hear about him? About 15 years ago there was a radio special dedicated to him. I was hooked. My dad, born 1912, used to sing in a high falsetto once in a while. That radio show was when I found out why my dad sang 20's tunes that way.
@cabbagerabbit im a 26 yr old and i think he rocks too.... its so awesome that im not the only one in my age range thats a fan. this post gets a "like"
BakeyandBetty, It's sad that he's not better known today-he was a tremendous talent. So many great artists of yesteryear are being forgotten in this now now now era when nothing old seems to be appreciated by many-but thankfully not all, as your clip and all the positive comment prove! Regards, J.
That is just not true. Sure, he isn't a household name, but Cliff does have a devoted community of fans, even if it is a small one. To those who appreciate vintage jazz, he is considered one of the greats of the period--especially to ukulele playlers. It's entirely too cut-and-dried to call him "forgotten". I wonder how many of the people they asked DID know who he was but were excluded because it didn't fit the spin they were giving the story.
My dad knew he was only when I mentioned Ukelele Ike, not Cliff Edwards. My dad was of that generation and occasionally he'd sing in that high falsetto himself. I didnt know where he got it from till I heard an extensive and excellent biography of Cliff about 10 years ago on the radio. Very sad.
I have one of his albums. The man was a genius and a wonderful singer. I knew who he was for two years since I read about the voice of Jiminy Cricket being the one who introduced the song 'Singin' in the Rain'. I even made a layout of Jiminy singing that song. Someday I'm going to animate it and dedicate it to the legendary Cliff Edwards.
God Bless his soul. His voice has always been the voice of my conscience since I was a baby. It's just so sad that no one remembers him. The fools.
O.O *gasp* that's so sad... wow what clueles people... and they're older so it was more around THEIR time then ours(for kids) I want to go to that town and like scream at all those people, then force them to watch this vid....
by the way thanks for posting this! Sad, but informative
Thanks for this interesting look into Cliffs life. I knew he hit hard times but I didnt realise how successful he was in the early days. His end was not what you want to remember him by. So I will always think of him as the voice of J Cricket and let my memories of him stay forever in gold.
I did know that Cliff had hit hard times, but not that he died in such sad circumstances, thanks for posting. I love Cliff and I really think that if modern day singers/audiences knew his work he would be well known as nobody could do it Cliff.
the story of his life could make for a very bitter-sweet film.
