"Letting in the Sunshine" (Sam Browne, 1933)

[Bluejeans0701]

Who would have imagined that this carefree song would be unable to be heard in a decade due to the Second World War?

They dont make em like they used to thats for sure!

Besides anything goes this is my favorite song of his.

If i could rate this!!! It would be at least 10 STARS!! Double Awsomes!

I love it!

I was looking for Sam Browns "I dont want to go to bed" but this is just as delightful.

Thank you

One of my favourite tunes - and Sam Browne is perfect for it. Thanks.

You certainly know this period well, znuky--would love to see you post a few vintage vids.

Best regards,

Sam Browne had such a pure voice and delivery. But (not to be picky) isn't that a picture of Al Bowlly, another big favorite?

Thanks ---

[RReady555]

Thanks, saxon--your channel is likewise a phenomenal archive...let me encourage everyone to click on your name for some real treats!

About the photo, you're absolutely right--it's Al! I've included your correction in the "more information" section. The only youthful photo of Sam I could find was that cigarette card...thought the profile might be his, but the hair and jawlines are wrong on re-inspection.

Wish there were more snapshots available of the 1925-35 Brit artists.

[RReady555]

Ah, *You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile!*, genia... ;)

[genia106]

Delightful! So sparkly and festive, I love it and I love that piano solo. Thank you so much for another FEEL GOOD song.

[RReady555]

Yes! Sweet clarinet, too...Browne had a "Mid-Atlantic" style of crooning. Great energy.
