This just popped up on my Youtube feed. It's from some documentary. Has anybody heard this before?

Considering his perfect timing in delivering jokes as a comedian, I'm not surprised.
Marty Feldman used to be a jazz trumpet player.
Dudley Moore is quite a capable jazz pianist.

For me, Peter Sellers will always be inspector Clouseau.

“Being There” was one of my favorite movies of all time, long before it became reality-based.

With his hilarious comedic acting and drumming chops, Sellers would have been ideal for a sitcom. https://www.drumforum.org/threads/its-finished-the-top-25-sitcom-star-drummers-of-all-time.192840/

He drummed with T-Bone Walker once.
