next level skill. the ability to enunciate clearly with minimal mouth movement back and forth rapidly between human and character is something i haven't seen since. it's almost like the dialog was done by someone else

I loved Sherri, seeing this I learned that she worked a lot longer than I thought, but I was happy she was part of my growing up. I was devastated learning about her death. But she’d want us to keep smiling when we kept her in mind.

I can’t say The Rain in Spain is Mainly on the Plain without putting my lips together at some point. Shari had talent, for sure! And to alternate between all the voices and have a conversation with her characters. Wow.

Not only was Shari very good at all the technical aspects of ventriloquism( the art of throwing your voice), but she performed it with a special charm that very few ventriloquists are even capable of. Shari Lewis was undoubtedly the greatest ventriloquist of all time.

Another wonderful visit into my childhood, courtesy of Gregg Oppenheimer. I'm so glad I caught this video. Shari was an idol of mine. I had all four of her puppets - Lamb Chop, Charley Horse, Hush Puppy, and Wing Ding. In this delightful video, Shari has on the same outfit she's wearing on the cover of 'Fun in Shariland,' which in 1958 was one of my very first record albums.
