I am a fan of George Formby but I've run into younger Brits who don't know who he is. They might learn later on though. Britain, as a whole, seems to remember George Formby. In America, our big uke heroes were Cliff Edwards (Ukulele Ike) and Roy Smeck. Amazing musicians and singers. America has utterly, completely forgotten them--completely. This is odd considering that Edwards was cast as Jiminy Cricket in Disney's Pinocchio and sang "When You Wish Upon a Star"--one of the most famous songs of the 20th century. Formby never had a hit like that and still the Brits remember him.
