Ray Noble confirms that both he and Al Bowlly were both sincere to a fault in their musical expression.
One can hear that in their music. It comes across unmistakably. That of course is why so many "moderns" hung up with "being cool" can't deal with the music style exemplified by Noble and Bowlly.
This is Ray himself. This particular piece was recorded with him reading from a script he had written. I interviewed him in the 1970s myself and I can vouch that is indeed him.
Fascinating!

I hope Bowlly and Noble know they're still contributing to our happiness.

The sound isn't very clear, this is a shame as I'd liek to hear what Mr Noble is saying

Very interesting. I wonder, is that Ray Noble himself or an actor reading from, say, Noble's memoirs?
