This depends completely on what musical culture one chooses to associate oneself with.

These are all reasonable choices, and here's another - Hank Williams.

It's hard to pick just one... ;-) I would say either Elvis, Sinatra, or the Beatles.

Think of all the people who have been outstandingly brilliant performers and entertainers and who have also influenced thousands of his antecedents............the answer is Louis Armstrong.

That is a tough one...
The question was, who was the greatest entertainer..not the biggest seller (probably Beatles), or the most famous Francis Albert or Elvis, or most influential to music (Louis Armstrong without a doubt),
but for sheer entertainment ... meaning the show.. KISS :lol:
