Cliff Edwards (14 June 1895 - 17 July 1971), also known as "Ukulele Ike", was an American singer and musician who enjoyed considerable popularity in the 1920s and early 1930s, specializing in jazzy renditions of pop standards and novelty tunes. He also did voices for animated cartoons later in his career, and is fondly remembered as the voice of Jiminy Cricket in Walt Disney's Pinocchio (1940). He also voiced one of the crows in Walt Disney's Dumbo. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Cliff+Edwa
