I loved him on the Jack Benny Program. Him, Mary, Rochester, Danny, Jack, and Don.  Those shows are really priceless.

I grew up listening to Phil Harris as a kid in Ireland in the 1970s. My dad had a load of records from when he was a young man. A great talent, very funny, he should be remembered for more than The Jungle Book. 'Persian Kitten' is about 100 times more sexy than any starlet getting her trousers off on music TV these days.

There's a really funny Benny Show (2/29/48) in which Jack gets sick of the song and starts parsing the lyrics to prove they make no sense. His big argument is the bit about "a place called Do-wah-diddy", and he pulls out an atlas, to prove there's no such town. Later, Rochester comes by and asks to take leave to go visit his aunt in Do-wah-diddy, MS. Jack calls the library, finds there is such a town, then calls Rand McNally to sue them for leaving such an important place out of their atlas.
