"MIMOSA"DEBROY SOMERS 1927

This is wonderful! Mr. Somers' imitable orchestration comes across splendidly, while the "oriental" lyrics sound so quaint. I love the intro before the vocal - especially the gong crashes...

Does anyone know of a copy of"Aunt Sally" a 1933 Cicely Courtneidge film that apparently included Leslie Holmes singing with Debroy Somers band.I recall it being on tv,but for some reason didnt record it at the time-very annoying!!
