Allan Sherman
As "Weird Al" Yankovic's most obvious influence, Allan
Sherman's legend looms large in the land of dementia. He is one of only
three comedy artists to have placed an album in Billboard's list of the
Top 100 Albums of all time. (My Son, The Nut was #1 for eight
weeks in 1963. Vaughn Meader's The First Family stayed #1 for
twelve weeks earlier that year, and Bob Newhart's The Button-Down
Mind Of Bob Newhart was #1 for 14 weeks in 1960.)
