My very first record was a medley of Charley Kunz piano hits. I read somewhere that Vera Lynn got her start with Charlie's band and that she always had good things to say about him.

I met Charlie Kunz in St Lawrence Hospital in Chepstow. he was playing organ in the little chapel. He was in hospital to have a operation on his hands which had sized up due to athritus. I have all his records

J'adorais l'écouter dans les années 50 ,il rappelle Jean Pâques et sa musique douce.

On a oublié ce style .

I remember growing up to the great Charlie Kunz. He was a house name and the big 78s stood proud on the lounge shelf. The beginning of popular music and played by the incredible keyboard talents of this superb artist. He had a distinctive sound and smooth deliverance that has never been achieved by any other pianist. Lets have more of Charlie's

God! Just playing this makes me feel like y dad's back on earth! He played piano a la Charlie every day, and I hated it then, but it's great to hear now. We all miss things from our youth, even those familiar things we thought we didn't like.

I learned to tinkle the ivories, classicly than, but of course whenever I went to play there was the music from dad's session - I'm sure i recognise some of that sheet music too!

Thank you, a great posting, must tell my brother and sister to listen in!

My sentiments entirely. My Dad could play any melody (more or less) but he didn't fully understand chords and changes! But I miss his 'passable' piano playing all the same. I wonder what happened to all his 78s and vinyls of Charlie?

This medley (one of Charlie's last) made it to number 20 during the early days of the UK Music Charts, in December 1954.

Good old Chrlie. I love listening to him and have many of his recordings.
