I looked but only found one. In my collection I have 2 different versions. The what I call the original, starts off with a violin and is somewhat slower. The other version starts with the orchestra and includes throughout bells. Both versions are absolutely wonderful and I suppose they could both be from 1931?
this song has a completely different meaning now that it is in context of hearing it in amelie, any song can transform into whatever it wants, i would hae dismissed this after a few bars as old and poorly recorded, but it is great, lesson learned: try not to let stereotypes get in the way..
A very nice early version.TY. Another one I love is Earl Coleman. He was one of those great Eckstein desciples like Kenny(Pancho) Hagood who came up in the late 40s. Earl sang on that Bird "Cool blues"Date Feb.47 with Erroll. There is a version Of "Guilty" By Earl On Xanadu Lable? W/ Max,Fats,DonLamphere,Lynton Garner(His brother)1948.
You are right, he would have only been 12. As far as I know, George Shearing was a pianist but why is he mentioned in this particular version of Al Bowlly? It is certainly not Al's versioin that I normally relate to (where he uses his vocals and creeps up high). So do I presume this is Ray Noble's band?
@Mornyful You don't have to presume that the orchestra is that of Ray Noble......IT IS ! If you do a YouTube search on " Ray Noble Orch - Guilty " you will find at least 2 posts of this track.
2 år siden 22 The singer of "Guilty" was the greatest vocalist in England during the 1930s. Born in South Africa in 1899 of Greek and Lebanese parents, Al Bowlly became an international singing star. He even had a hit in the US in the late 30s -- "Blue Moon." He died during a London air raid in 1941.

Margaret Whiting has a fine version of this, but I believe it is not on Youtube. Will someone post it? Thank you.

This is a lovely recording by Al Bowlly with the Ray Noble Orch made in 1931 ! George Shearing was NOT present and only 12 years old at the time !

I'd like to know, which is the contribution of Mr. George Shearing in this version of the song. Is he singing?
