... This remarkable man, a Disney legend: forgotten in his own home town. Curse you, Mark Twain!
-
@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.
-
"i" LOVE you 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!!

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?
-
Now I'm gunna be sad all day :(
-
I looked it up..because UKULELE Mike mentioned this site...what a eye opener....Very interesting but ..alas..very sad

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!

BTW, notice the photo at about 2:57...he had no strings on the uke he's posing with. It was my understanding that he could not even afford strings.

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.
