My father was good friends with Eddie. Eddie was sorrowfully unrecognized as much as he should have been. He was every bit the comedian as Lenny Bruce, Mort Sahl, Bob Newhart or Bill Cosby, even more. He did all the voices. They didn't. Well, Cosby a litle. Eddie showed us the past and into the future. He was like a Shaman in that respect. There will never be anther like him. We were lucky to have him for so long.

Released in 1957 (not'59) as part of the LP shown above at the beginning. INTERESTING STORY: My father was a well-known Chicago DJ who brought home tons of Promotional records, this one being among them. Sometime in late 1961, he brought us a 45rpm with a blank white label...it was an OUT-TAKE from the original session of THIS CUT..."The Deejay's Philosopher". Apparently, Eddie had several buddies/colleagues sitting in the session as an audience (he did this in some of his later routines (eg: "At the Movies" from "The Side-Splitting Personality of E.L.". 1960). ANYWAY..in the mysterious 45 my father gave us we heard the group of guys continually cracking up, until their laughter became so raucous that they all had to be kicked out of the studio in order that the recording could continue (I distinctly remember my father describing this, since he had been given the 45-outtake by a sales rep. from Coral Records, who was handing out copies to DJs). ANYWAY, the guy told my dad that one of the rowdy guys thrown out of the studio was BUDDY HACKETT, who remained outside of the studio, and continued to laugh at the top of his lungs at Eddie's jokes. CHECK 0:40 ("..needs a haircut..") and 1:35 ("good music..") and listen carefully for Buddy's screaming laughter faintly in the background, apparently through the studio window. Even without the "audience" in the studio, the silliness and giggles lingered on, as at 1:41 when you hear one of the studio technicians (or maybe bandleader Nick Perito) cracking up. UNFORTUNATELY, my older brother and I treated the precious, one-of-a-kind 45" poorly, and basically trashed it, never thinking of its novelty and future value. LR
