by
Allan Sherman
The bad news is that Allan Sherman hasn't received the credit and praise he deserves. The good news is that his gifts and genius are manifest in abundance on this best of package. The word-playing godfather of the modern parody, Sherman's songs are definitely rooted in his Jewish culture. However, his humanity is so strong and universal that ...

Allan Sherman
Between the fall of 1962 and the end of 1963, Allan Sherman was perhaps the most popular comedian in America, and along with Bob Newhart he was one of the first to rise to fame through the medium of the long-playing record album. Sherman's gimmick was his gift for taking familiar melodies -- folk songs, old standards, hits of the day -- and ...

by
Various Artists
To some listeners, Christmas novelty singles like "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" are intolerable tripe; to others, they're joyous reminders of holiday hilarity. Either way, Christmas Comedy Classics is an imperfect collection of those novelty singles, lacking some obvious choices and including others. There are enough hits to make it ...

Allan Sherman
At his best, Allan Sherman was as perceptive an observer of the American Jewish experience as Philip Roth or Saul Bellow, and when he was on a roll he was a lot funnier than either, and that's certainly the case with 1962's My Son, the Folk Singer, Sherman's first album and the record that made him an overnight success, selling over a million ...

Allan Sherman's first album, My Son, the Folk Singer, was an unexpected smash hit upon its release in the fall of 1962, and Sherman wasted no time crafting a follow-up, with My Son, the Celebrity rushed into stores less than three months later. While it follows the pattern of Sherman's first album quite closely -- a handful of familiar tunes ...

by
Allan Sherman
Allan Sherman began moving cautiously away from the explicitly Jewish humor of his debut album on its follow-up, My Son, the Celebrity, and he all but abandoned it for his third long-player, 1963's My Son, the Nut. However, if Sherman was less eager to poke fun at Jewish-American culture as he grew more popular, his need to kvetch about the ...
