Rolf Harris. What a great, all-round entertainer: he's a composer, performer, television host, painter and a friend of furry animals everywhere.
Who can forget the Rolf Harris Show on local television in the 1960s? He showed us how great an artist he can be. With just a dab of his brush here and there, he brought his paintings to life. He taught people to actually like art!His ultimate artistic creation came in 2005 when he was commissioned to paint an official portrait of Queen Elizabeth II in celebration of her 80th birthday.
As a performer, he sang memorable songs like Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport, Waltzin' Mathilda, Two Little Boys and .... Jake The Peg, the nonsense song about the adventures of a three-legged man.
I discovered a new live version of this song on YouTube but obviously, it wasn't like the first time I saw it on TV. But it doesn't matter. I'm sure many people don't know the talent of Rolf Harris, so here is Jake The Peg. Just enjoy it:
