In the Disney cartoon Cliff “Ukulele Ike” Edwards voiced the cricket. IRL Edwards, a huge name in vaudeville, was the opposite of the bug. Drinking, gambling, and women were his passions. He spent money as fast as he made it. He was a great entertainer. He recorded sappy pop tunes and novelty numbers. He had a strong jazz influence and was great at scat singing and what he called “eefing,” a vocal horn imitation. George Formby with a very sharp edge.
