Biography
Jack Pleasants was popular in the UK in the oughts and teens of the last
century. He made his name in variety, which was the English equivalent of
vaudeville. He was billed as "The Bashful Limit," which is a way of
saying that he played shy characters in his songs who happened also to
be funny. His big hit was "I'm Shy, Mary Ellen, I'm Shy," which sort of
sums up his schtick. -Joe McGasko
