@BeareTube How about Kevin Spacey? He can sing and act. He's not afraid to look less attractive than he really is. He could really do a good job on the tragedy of Edwards' drug problem.
Wow. I never heard of this guy until just now when I heard him do "When you wish upon a star". The only version of "If I had you'' I've ever heard is by Frank Sinatra from the 50's. I have a smooth baritone voice and I play guitar. Cliff Edwards is giving me ideas.
One of the best songs from one of the greatest entertainers ever. Thanks for posting it.
It's always a little sad to see Cliff Edwards with Buster Keaton. Both were among the greatest entertainers of their day, yet both died broke and nearly forgotten.
Love that song

Best version of this song I've heard. Effortless and organic, as if he were making it up as he went.

Cliff Edwards, AKA Ukulele Ike, was the voice of Jiminy Cricket in Walt Disney's Pinocchio and a variety of shorts.
