Ken Dodd

The legend that was Sir Ken Dodd said his final Tatty-bye today he lived his life at Knotty Ash, where his Diddy Men did play. A gentler soul you could not find. A heartier showman neither with wand in hand his 'tickling stick.' You either laughed or cried. Or you just died for a breather. Remember his signature song. 'Happiness' it charted in 1964 remember his wild hair, its shagginess it's a 'Tattifelarious day.' He would say Dodd, you could never call him a bore. His shows ran on for several hours frequently past midnight it's as if the man possessed some magic comic superpowers. He died at home in the house he was born at the age of 90 he was given the OBE and Knighted I guess all he could say was 'blithely, ' 'what a to-do.' His tomfoolery knew no end Ken Dodd was a Bohemian he was the King of the comedians I guess that's why he was so well-loved and had many lifelong friends.
