Dave Illingworth	Jimmy Cagney - guitar player ? (84* d)	RE: Jimmy Cagney - guitar player ?	29 Jul 08
Ah, Cliff "Ukelele Ike" Edwards. Made some fine records - check out his 1928 "Stack O'Lee" - a very underrated singer. He sang "Singin' in the rain" in the film HOLLYWOOD REVUE OF 1929, long before the later (but also good) Gene Kelly version. He also recorded some risque (at the time) "party records", with such titles as "I'm a bear in a ladies boudoir", "I'm gonna give it to Mary with love" and "If you can't land her on the veranda". He was upset that the record label of his biggest hit "When you wish upon a star" bore the name Jiminy Cricket, and not his own. Died penniless and forgotten in in a nursing home (1971) age 76. But he had a colourful life, and the specialist record labels keep his great music available.
