Mind you, two years ago the best I could come up with was Dudley Moore.

two good ones:
1) vinicius de moraes: poet, musician, playwright, essayist... and diplomat!
2) paul robeson: singer, actor, lecturer, football player, lawyer, etc.

paul robeson was basically superman

I think he mostly just wrote lyrics? So it's the same artform as in poetry and playwriting. The one album I know where he actually sings ("Os Afro sambas") wouldn't really convince anyone that he "excelled" as a vocalist.

Ha! Well done, er, me.

Was Peter Brotzmann mentioned upthread? Obviously best known as a saxophonist, but also a trained artist (studied under Joseph Beuys IIRC) who's designed about 90 percent of his own album covers, posters, etc. He's had exhibits of his work here and there.
