The Bachelors Charmaine

[Tenortalker]

Con and Dec are still very much alive- singing, making recordings. Dec is also greatly involved in Toastmasters International Public Speaking Clubs - he passes on his professional stage skills and mentors Public speakers.  High quality, totally professional and wonderfully tuneful- can anyone beat The Bachelors , i think not!

Wish we had singers and bands like this again. What glorious days. You can keep your Idol shows and your X Factors etc, you will never beat the 60's.

[CharmainedeSouza]

"Charmaine" music is played in One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest at medication time.

[AlexIsAinmDom]

i know you people might not believe me but my grandad des verdon was one of the original line-ups for the bachelors, he left because he could'nt leave my grandmother, he's got no recognition even as a past member on wikipedia which sucks.

Love the old couple dancing

[w4pgb]

I would wish the BBCAmerica would air the old Bachelor videos from the late 60s and early 70s, especially the 1974 year when Lena was a regular. together they made a fantastic show.

[nancyfloressantos]

[SalsaShakers]

OMG! Are the Bachelors still alive and still "bachelors?"

I love them! t/y for the upload! :)

[templarvanboek1]

@SalsaShakers ... one of them is alive and lives in greetland, west yorkshire its about 4 miles from me.

[sebmelmoth2003]

has the pier been positively identified? [a big one burnt down yesterday at weston-super-mare].

great video. i'd forgotten how good the bachelors were. there's so much vulgarity and profanity in the charts (and on youtube :) )nowadays that it's refreshing to find some truly entertaining music.

bachelors were on radio yesterday.

type "bbc front row" into google; click `listen again` for monday (programme online for 7 days).

promoting new CD The Very Best of the Bachelors

[barchardy]

[murphytaz]

[acceitunas]

My real name is Charmaine and, hold on you young kids, I am 60 years old. I was named after the song. It was written in 1926 for a silent picture, What Price Glory. The character in the movie was a barmaid, Charmaine de la Cognac. My dad is an organist and was stationed in England during WWII. His talent put him in special services and he did a lot of entertaining. Charmaine was his "signature song".

[boomers66]

Follow the link below to see a trailer from the 1926 silent film. There is a shot of Ms. De la Cognac herself, played by actress Delores Del Rio.

[boomers66]

Oops. The link didn't post. Search on youtube for the silent film "What Price Glory." It's a hoot.

[cgarcoa]

boomers66..Hi my name is Charmagne, and I too was named after the song. It was my dad's favorite to play on the piano and he died at 36 years old, 3 weeks before I was born. So in his memory , I was named Charmagne instead of Jeanette. I was the first in Middlesex county New Jersey

[boomers66]

Thanks for comment, cgarcoa. My name has been a legend in out family because my Mom and Dad got married soon after he was discharged from the Army. Your Dad was a musician too. Not surprising I guess. I'm so sorry you didn't know him. So you spell your name with a 'g'. A lot of times people try to put a 'g' in my name too.

[STHFGDBY]

They were the best show band that ever came out of Ireland ever.

[claf25]

my name is charmaine to and im not as proud of my name. i dont like it much and so am known as charlie. not sure whether its coz of the song or because my friends wind me up about it.

[Callipygiancharley]

My name is Charmaine - it is the weirdest thing in the world to hear it in a song, I've never even met anyone with the same name as me before. Awesome!
