Thomas Henry Sargent (21 November 1894 Р7 May 1963), known professionally by his stage name Max Miller and billed as The Cheeky Chappie, was an English comedian often considered the greatest stand-up of his generation. He toured extensively, appearing in variety, revues and by the early 1930s reached the top of the bill in the large music halls including the London Palladium. He recorded many songs, some of which he wrote. He appeared frequently on radio and starred in fourteen feature films. He was known for his flamboyant suits, his wicked charm, and his risqu̩ jokes often led to difficulties with the censors. He made his last recording in January 1963.

Edmundo Alberto de Bettencourt (7 August 1899 – 1 February 1973) was a Portuguese singer and poet best known for his performance of the Song of Coimbra and for his decisive role in introducing popular themes into this genre. He was noted for the musical composition "Saudades de Coimbra" which is still a reference in Portuguese university music
