Mick Mac Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 Interesting that JC, had in the 1960s, a TV recognition rating of 3 - only Richard Nixon and John Wayne were more recognisable people in the world, to the american public.

Hmm... What about Mohammed Ali who surely was the most recognisable face on the planet at that time.

Mick Mac Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 maybe you are thinking late 60s early 70s Jah. Ali did not even win the title for the first time until 64.

Narnia Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Nixon didn't become President until 69, so if you're talking early 60's JFK would have to be in the top 3 no doubt.

Mick Mac Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 Ok - I don't remember the period they referred to - guessed it was the 60s, but to be honest I can't remember - but they said it none the less.

matthew123 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Nixon was Vice President of the US from 1953 to 1961 - and just missed out on becoming President in 1960 before becoming President in 1969.

SimonM Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 In the 60's USA I'd have thought Presley would have a higher recognition rating than Cash: and Marilyn Monroe!
