Bowlly was a prince. And the pictures are fine, too. Thanx!
-
I like this version very much.
-
I did not realise he had made a version of this song, is very nice!
-

Al Bowlly took this out of Judy Garland's hand put it in his pocket and elegantly walked away with it.

@LKayL1 if everyone just listened to at-least one of his songs, his popularity would surley rise
-
@thechinadesk ,your right about "Midnight" and when I see a Ray Noble with "Snooky" for sale,I don't bother.
-
After reading your post, I listened to some Snooky Lanson recordings.
You're right. Lanson is no Bowlly. Not even close.
When singers like Bowlly perform, they channel a mysterious je ne sais quois that evokes an otherworldly dimension. Listen for example, to his rendition of "Midnight, the Stars, and You."
Lanson by contrast, conveyed exactly nothing with his voice. Nada. Zip.

This is such a great version of this song - never realised that Bowlly had recorded it. Although this song will forever be associated with Judy Garland, he really does make this his own. perfect :)

@SwingBandHeaven I totally agree! I think it's far better than the well-known versions by Judy Garland and Eva Cassidy.
