Eddie Cantor
Eddie Cantor (c. September 21, 1892 – October 10, 1964), born Edward Israel Iskowitz, was an American "illustrated song" performer, comedian, dancer, singer, actor and songwriter. Familiar to Broadway, radio, movie and early television audiences, this "Apostle of Pep" was regarded almost as a family member by millions because his top-rated radio shows revealed intimate stories and amusing anecdotes about his wife Ida and five daughters. Some of his hits include "Makin' Whoopee", "Ida", "Yes! We Have No Bananas", "If You Knew Susie", "Ma! He's Makin' Eyes at Me", "Baby", "Margie", and "How Ya Gonna Keep 'em Down on the Farm (After They've Seen Paree)?" He also wrote a few songs, including "Merrily We Roll Along", the Merrie Melodies Warner Bros. cartoon theme.
His eye-rolling song-and-dance routines eventually led to his nickname, "Banjo Eyes". In 1933, the artist Frederick J. Garner caricatured Cantor with large round eyes resembling the drum-like pot of a banjo. Cantor's eyes became his trademark, often exaggerated in illustrations, and leading to his appearance on Broadway in the musical Banjo Eyes (1941).

The Very Best Of
by: Eddie CantorIs there anyone finer
In the state of Carolina?
If there is and you know her
Show her to me
Dinah got those Dixie eyes blazing
How I love to sit and gazing
To the eyes of Dinah Lee
Every night why do I shake with pride?
'Cause my Dinah might
Change her mind about me
Oh, Dinah
Should you wander to China?
I would hop an ocean liner
Just to be with Dinah Lee
Oh, Dinah
Should you wander to China?
I would hop an ocean liner
Just to be with Dinah Lee
Every night why do I shake with pride?
'Cause my Dinah might
Change her mind about me
The name of this song is Dinah
Said it
The name of this song is Dinah
Snag it
The name of this song is Dinah
Ah, tell it
The name of this song is Dinah
Dinah, wander to China
The state of Carolina
Listen and you know her
I would like to have you show her to me
Dinah got those Dixie eyes blazing'
How I love to sit and gazing'
To the eyes of Dinah Lee
Oh, Dinah
Should you wander to China
I would get me an ocean liner
Just to be with Dinah Lee
