Buddy Rich & Jerry Lewis - Drum Solo Battle (1965)

I had the honor of meeting Mr. Lewis at a mall signing books in the early 1980s.
I was never a fan but what a hatchet job of an obituary. This is what they do to conservatives folks.
How the “King of Comedy” proved Jerry Lewis was a great actor.
He should have won an Academy Award for this great movie. He dominated every scene he was in,
Martin needed him to seem less threatening, and Lewis needed Martin to become less shy. That’s the way I viewed them. They weren’t as great as Laurel and Hardy, and Lewis by himself couldn’t hold a candle to Chaplin, but they were what could be called great at least a lot of the time. At their best, on a par with Abbott and Costello at their best.
Yep the MD telethon.....to this day, still a fraud. A money laundering scheme.
One would think with the billions (or is it trillions now?)they’ve raised to this day, they’d have a cure by now.
Don’t get me wrong, my sympathy goes out to those who have succumbed o this disease and who are still fighting it. Prayers to you.
“Gary Lewis & the Playboys were an American 1960s era pop and rock group, fronted by musician Gary Lewis, the son of comedian Jerry Lewis. They are best known for their 1965 Billboard Hot 100 number-one single “This Diamond Ring”, which was the first of a string of hit singles they had in 1965 and 1966.”

LAAAAADDDYYYYYYY
I never cared for his style of comedy, though I appreciate the truly great work he did for charity. Memory eternal.
