[edit] Tony Clifton is a real lounge singer

I think it's disgusting the way Kaufman and his family used Tony Clifton to make money. Tony Clifton was a lounge singer in Las Vegas when Kaufman was nothing. Tony Clifton should not be associated with Kaufman other than Clifton openned some shows for Kaufman. Jtpaladin 15:05, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Actually Jtpaladin is right. Tony Clifton was a Vegas lounge-singer who Andy saw and met and copied. The extent of his copying Clifton and not paying for the use of the material and personna or not known, but, as in the case of Elvis Presley stealing almost all of his material from African Americans and not paying for it, could be fairly extensive. I'm not sure if there has been any legal battles, but Kaufmann was admited to it, as Bob Zmuda tells us. Teetotaler
