Biography
Rolf Harris was an Australian entertainer whose career has encompassed work as a musician, singer-songwriter, composer, comedian, actor, painter and television personality. Harris was widely known for his musical compositions "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport" and "Jake the Peg" and his recording of "Two Little Boys".
