Bobby Hackett, the jazz musician, is not to be confused with Buddy Hackett, a comedian.

"He couldn't say anything bad about anyone"

Bobby Hackett was such a "nice man" that he found it virtually impossible to say anything bad - about anyone at all. There is a story that, on one occasion, he was asked his opinion about Adolf Hitler.

Why is there a huge box devoted to Glenn Miller at the end of the article? Not to be "anti Glenn Miller" but this article is about Bobby Hackett.173.175.113.173 (talk) 18:45, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
