Val Rosing - Leaning on a Lamp Post

[soundsofthe30s]

Good old Val Rosing! Always a pleasure to hear!

Val Rosing was prolific and made some very good records (though I am not sure this is one of my favorites. You can find Val Rosing's CD at his web site by Googling him. i love his version of St. James Infirmary, Sweet Sue, Try a Little Tenderness and of course, Teddy Bears Picnic.

Always looking for new faces on old 78s and this fits the bill nicely ,thanks

P.S Val Rosing made a huge amount of records ,believe me he was very,very good.

hey, this is super, i like this version, much classier than Formby and Rosing has a voice.

Thanks for posting! I hope to see Feather Your Nest someday, I can tell that it is more suited for George Formby,

Please email Optimum DVD and request that they include it in a second Formby boxset, thanks :)

I hate to be such a contrarian,

because I adore this delightful, lilting song,

but I have never heard such a dull, lifeless version

as this one. This whole clip sucks eggs.

Before anyone craps on you with downvotes...

I respectfully disagree on an inherent level, although at the same time it's not so much "lifeless" as it is a movie rendition of a song. I believe Val would have done much better were he rendering this on an album.

Probably. And you have to remember he was doing it like this as a direct contrast to what Formby's character subsequently did!

This is one of my favourite Formby films.
