Who was the greatest entertainer in history?
The greatest entertainer in the history of show business is - Al Jolson!
They don't make entertainers like that anymore.
He was once - the highest paid entertainer in the world.
In only 41 seconds - you'll see why:

My late uncle, late grandfather and I all marvelled at the skills of Al Jolsen
when television (The Black and White Minstrals) came to Australia.
He would get my vote...

He was the king of entertainers.
I can see how other entertainers copied bits
and pieces of just the 41 second piece above.
There is some Frank Sinatra, and even some Elvis in there.

Re: Who was the greatest entertainer in history?
My mistake....
I just did some googling...
Jolsen died in 1950...
The Black and White Minstrels started in 1957...
They must have had some clips of Jolsen during the show as I vividly
remember watching him....
In any case...he was the best...
Ran rings around Fred Astaire and the like....
