Guy Lombardo scored with this one in 1937, and he reportedly was very pleased with what Michael Holliday did with his song. A magnificent talent whose early passing was a tragedy. He is greatly missed.

This is the best arrangement and performance of this song, ever. Just my humble opinion.

only what's on Youtube I guess. I do have a 30 minute video of Russ Conway's THIS IS YOUR LIFE, but it's poor quality, and Mike is interviewed on there for about 5 mins.

@brabazon10 Now that, I would've loved to have seen. Are there any clips available? I always liked both Mike and Russ. Both are sadly missed.

I now wonder why Terence Davies didn't use Michael's version of folks on hill in his film "Of Time and the City "

Beautiful song, amazing voice, shame about his tragic life, with respect from a fellow Liverpudlian. Another version by Peggy Lee, I think, is featured on the Terence Davies film "Of Time and the City" a must for all scousers. Thanks for posting.
