Lovely sub tone clarinet intro - is that by Freddie Gardner? Al Bowlly at his very best. Such a fine recording for the technology of the time too. A real classic. Thank you Lineofsight.

I am a newbie to Al Bowlly and now I have my Dad hooked on even thought he's a Crosby fan, ...now he's very impressed with Al ...I read somewhere an observer said he had tears in his eyes after he sang 'I believe it" what sincerity ...sad ending for a great talent at least it was quick...it deprived the world of wonderful tenor....

This music is magic, thanks for this great post.

There were some great voices and music of the 30s, but none came near to Al Bowlly and it doesn't seem to matter which orchestra he recorded with - he was that good!
-
Oh, what a classy blast it is. It's beautifully haunting to hear him sing this farewell song.

Yes Ashbyjay, how could we forget our Al, he was the greatest.
Till we meet

The Fabulous and reverential song styling of the combo of Ray Noble and the unforgettable voice of Al Bowlly make this tune outstanding in every way. They were the real British invasion in the early 1930's as opposed to the false one of 1964!!

What a wonderful song - thanks very much for presenting it to us!!!
How could we ever forget him - he was the greatest ;) Thank you for making this lovely tribute, especially today on the anniversary of his premature death in an air raid on London.
