This depends completely on what musical culture one chooses to associate oneself with.
These are all reasonable choices, and here's another - Hank Williams. |

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  |
