This album, the follow-up to his landmark tour de force "Hello Dummy!!" album from the year before. "Speaks" was recorded in front of a panel of "experts," mostly in-crowd pals of Rickles who threw all the right targets at him, like "Show Biz and Travel," "Names In The News, and of course the mandatory shredding of his friend and mentor Frank Sinatra. While Rickles was not the first comic of the "insult" genre, Shecky Greene and Shelly Berman were also known to incorporate the audience into their acts, Rickles was the first to turn his hostility towards the audience, and they loved him for it. They still do, nearly 60 years later. Tracks: 1. Current Events 2. Some Good Frieds 3. Sinatra 4. Names In The News 5. Show Biz And Travel 6. Night Clubs 7. Television 8. Some Big Stars 9. Sports 10.
