ABSOLUTELY - Two of the best ever. I saw Rickles in his prime, in Vegas. I was in grade school, and we looked around and, other than my siblings, no one else was in grade school, or junior high, or probably high school.
We quickly found out why. I don’t remember much, but I’ll never forget just how hard the audience was laughing, it was INCREDIBLE. Talk about getting one’s money’s worth!
Like many comedians and vocalists (Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra), Rickles could really act, too. He was excellent in Kelly’s Heroes.
