Kenny Baker or Dennis Day?

Kenny Baker served a stretch as the (Irish) tenor on the Jack Benny Show. He was succeeded in that role by Dennis Day. Who was better. I actually liked Baker's singing a little better, but Day was the better comedian (evidenced by the fact that he got his own show). Day had a beautiful voice, but he basically was a crooner at a higher register. He rarely would go on up to the high notes, which Baker did regularly.
