Lambeth Walk - Eddie Cantor & Ambrose's Orchestra, 1938

[dfarmbrough]

I suppose this is what posh johnnies thought cockneys sounded like! Ambrose was of course a cockney himself, but some of these fellows have dreadful accents!

My grandfather jack daniels arranged the music for and played the solo clarinet on the lambeth walk @100jackdaniels

Whoever this "Eddie Cantor" is, it's not the American Eddie Cantor!

[bobparis]

Eddie Cantor is not on this record.

This is not the Cantor version. The Cantor version was done on British Decca with Eddie singing about his visit to England and what he'll tell his friends. He does not do a cockney imitation at all. He even does an imitation of FDR.

A bit "different " down Lambeth way these days - what a shite-hole !

[racingrubberbiker]

What a mystery!

It really cant be the famous American - more reearch is needed, but if it really is Cantor he does a passable cockney accent.

The song was sung by Lupino Lane in the original, who was related to Ida Lupino - of Hollywood fame.

What a terrible accent more Mockney than Cockney.

As Losun said this is not the great Cantor. Eddie had a very popular recording of this song, but this ain't it.

[Losun]

I hate to say this, but no matter what the label on this record says, the american actor, Eddie Cantor is not present among the ones who sing. Maybe it is a different singer, with the same name, a british one.

Nevertheless, it is a great rendition of a legendary song.

Thanks for posting.

Urocza Piosenka

Bardziej podoba mi się wykonanie Adama Astona.

Exhilarating ! This was such a popular song & dance in the war years. It was no wonder the Nazi "big wigs" were infuriated by Ridley's portrayal of Hitler. Marching backwards etc.

Thanks for sharing this enjoyable post - and for your notes.

You can find that video on Youtube here. It's amazing!

Sam, I saw that on Bway too.

We may have been sitting next to each other! :-)

Grzegorz My Darling Friend,

Thank you, I love the LAMBETH WALK!

This is a wonderful rendition! I love the COCKNEY! :-) " Oi"

The next time Rudy , YOU and I are in London , we shall have to take Rudy to the East End! We shall start the night in Mayfair of course!

[240252]

Genia, thanks! I just added some link to my info. Go there and you will see Robert Lindsay, the British genius actor, starring in "Me And My Girl" in London, in 1987! It's a MUST to see it. As for Rudy, well, we may have a probvlem with getting him to East Ham or so, to say nothing of Lambeth! He's such a delicate, or even hysterical type.... you know... afraid of all muggers, white trash nightlife individuals... He prefers more processed and canned specimens of the rawness of life

[genia106]

Grzegorz,

I thought you straightened Rudy out.

We will go to the East End ourselves, he can stay in Mayfair! "Oi"

[240252]

Genia, don't hurt me! And please, don't tell him what I told you. He's so vulnerable. I just want to protect him. Go to my link I mention above and see Robert Lindsay. It's obvious that for the upper class people London can be so unbearably lower class, sometimes!

[genia106]

OK Grzegorz, I don't want to hurt you and I promise I will not say a word.

I watched Robert Lindsay, he is Fantastic!

"Oi!"

I just love the LAMBETH WALK! :-)
