    He is, he always has been, and always will be the greatest singing impersonator that has ever lived. And a more humble gentleman you will never find. A voice so pure it melts you every time you hear him regardless of what he sings or who he sings.

    I never heard a better impersonator, often people can be good at one or two voices but Joe was brilliant at so many, he was also a great singer in his own right. Thank goodness material like this lives on for us to continue to enjoy.

    I went to Melbourne he was starring at the Crown Casino. My good lady (a kiwi) lived there and had never heard of him. I took her to the show I think about 2002 and she was amazed. Probably one of the most talented hard working singers I have ever seen what a legend. RIP Joe!

    Each time I see Joe perform, I was made clear he loved doing this. He delighted in entertaining us! It is important to realize to do these impressions he must first be a gifted singer as a starting point! He was a magnificent singer in his own right. His vocal control was uncanny and being able to master his beathing and vocal muscles to sing just like the singers he was impersonating is to this day a miracle of sorts. His passing is such a loss to the entertainment world he has left a very large void not likely to be filled.

    Now there's no denying the guy has a unique gift. One you can't find under the Christmas tree! Absolutely brilliant performance. Doing one powerful singer is difficult to master but doing two in one song is genius. A great voice. And I think ol' Des should be still doing his prime time show. There's talent out there, performing in the theatres who just don't get the exposure they deserve.
