	He recorded many songs, some of which he wrote. He appeared frequently on radio, but television did not really suit his style. He appeared and starred in fourteen feature films. He was known for his flamboyant suits, his wicked charm, and his risqué jokes often led to difficulties with the censors. He made his last recording in January 1963 and died four months later.
