nickladey, thank you for preserving another bit of Charlies legacy. The most innovative comic of the 60's (with the Goons), is a stranger to all but those who grew up with him. Its a travesty, but maybe contrbutions such as yours will help to spread the message.
Lonnie Donegan??? Well, I know he did some comic numbers after he was ousted by rock'n'roll in the early 60s, but before that he was a serious and very popular skiffle/jazz musician. Like many others, I only remember him for 'My Old Man's a Dustman' and 'Does Your Chewing Lose its Flavour', but before that it seems he had carved out a tremendous career for himself as a serious musician, and apparently had a great influence on a then unknown band later to become famous as 'The Beatles'.
Great Video, didn't realise Charlie could sing, he was such a funny guy, the likes of Charlie Drake & Norman Wisdom were Legends.
