  • The most amazing and charismatic singer I have ever heard. Since I first heard him sing his voice and musicality haunts me. I used to think I was living through one of the best periods of history, but our lives are so complicated with must have's and represive laws. Al Bowlly's music and video's conjours in my mind an era of simplicity and refinement and makes me realise how degraded our society has become. We called it progress but that was an illusion.

  • LOL - Ya gotta love coming to a YouTube link to hear peaceful vintage music and then all the posted comments below are all nice and positive as well. It's a rarity on here! Glad to see people still enjoy listening to the old old stuff! :-)

  • This the first time I've heard of or heard Al Bowlly. Considering how crude recording was at that time he has a extraordinary voice. Thank you for the introduction

  • thank you!

  • @poolkop7 thank you so much! :) ♥

  • @SymphonieDerJugend Moonlight On The Highway // ............. Moonlight on the highway // Moonlight on the plain // Turn your light on my way // Through memory lane // .. Moonlight on the highway // Guide me while I roam // Shine upon each byway // That leads me to home // .. A place where roses remember // And folks forget me not // What else // Is worth dreaming of // .. From your silver skyway // Smiling up above // Moonlight on the highway // Please lead me to love // ..
  • Wonderful in the 1930s and even more wonderful in 2011. Thank you for posting this amazing work. I'm now calm.

  • Has anyone got the lyrics of this heavenlike song?

    Please, I'm searchin' for them for so long.

    Moonlight on the Highway is one of my absolutely faves. :)

    Al Bowlly! ♥

  • This song sounds like just the straight dope..

  • There is at least one radio station that plays this specific genre': KSPC 88.7/Claremont, CA. On Sundays from 2-5 (sometimes 1-5), host Randy

    Bryant features music from the 1920's-1950's (with an hour of vintage

    radio shows in-between from 3-4). Not a powerful station, but well

    worth searching out if you're somewhere east of L.A.
